I thought I clicked on a DankPods video for a moment, keep up the great work I do wish that they were blown up.

[Syahmie]

Love that edit at 8:45, was such a good funny touch!

[MR.ROBOTVOLTRON]

I can't imagine getting better than the Cadenza for 35 dollars. This is like buying the T3 Plus tuning mixed with a Moondrop in vocals type quality. 👌

[audiophanatic]

What I love about the Cadenza is how well it scales with a good source. I thought it was thin with its stock cable through a iPhone but when I attached a Letshouer 4.4 balanced cable and played through my HiBy R5 Saber it was outstanding. Easily as good as anything I own up to $200.

[MrBlitzpunk]

Honestly for 35$ its already worth it for the shell alone, it's beautiful

[thesonnytackettshow]

It’s crazy that beryllium and titanium are all the rage in the iem community “now”, as we’ve been using them in voicecoils and horn drivers for decades.

[DJaquithFL]

Most people can't tell the difference between these $30 IEMs and $1, 000+ IEMs. Literally they are no-brainer purchases. 👍😎

[athenovae]

9:03 disagree that all these are the same because half a db here 1 db there makes each of the ones listed distinct from another. For example the Chu’s 6K elevation gives a fatiguing metallic shimmer while not having enough mid and sub bass to balance out. Or the Hola is dark tilted so much that the mid bass is over powering to my ears and bleeds into the mids and I find myself increasing the volume just to get a satisfying upper mid/treble experience. Or the 7Hz Zero lacking just a tiny bit over bass elevation that would tame and balance out its sometimes sharp upper mids/treble.

Maybe it’s just my ears are unpractically sensitive 🥲

Blon 03 changed all of these, and now we are seeing the aftermath

[cguralol]

I bought this and the EPZ Q1 pro Yesterday, waiting to get them

[paulwg]

Great videos. Keep them coming. I wanted to like the Cadenza but the top end was not there and I kept the Salnotes Zero. Great fit though.

C3 is more comfortable it has the same shell as TinHiFi T3 Plus and those are one of the most comfortable IEMs especially if you use them with moondrop spring tips

[spamcan]

I'm looking for something inexpensive to use at night in bed and this seems to fit the bill between the comfortable shell and relaxed sound. I like that purple is available too. Your refreshing drink analogy is what convinced me to buy them lol. Bonus points if I can rest my head on its side.

[beepover]

I have well over a dozen chifi sets. I have 2 other berrylumin iems fh3 and urbanfun. This set competes with both sets. For 35 bucks its amazing. Does nothing really wrong. Probably not as musical as I like, also could use more of that beryllium shimmer/magic. Biggest knock which is really not that big at price is the treble. Although soild, it it had more weight to the treble response this would be unreal. Otherwise super soild tuning at an unbeatable price.

[SukhES]

Just got them now they sound good i got in $50CAD

[boonie]

Not only the bass but something about the high end on the Cadenza that I didn't like compared to the C3. I've spent waay too much money on budget IEM's in 2022 and think I will stick to the C3 as long as I can.

[lavatr]

I come from BLON 03. Lovely IEM
Non harsh treble, Full and Warm foundational Bass. Crunchy Mids.

I'm looking for something similar or better. Does the Kadenza give it?

[karthikeyans]

I hear mostly melody, classical music and some times rock music and watch movie. I choose the some iems like cca pla13, kz pr3, kz zs10 pro x, kiwi ears cadenza which iem i am go to pls suggest me one iem.

[iSVX]

Hey, how does it compare with EW200? Either of these is going to be my first IEM. I listen to all sorts of music from devotional to rock. Additionally, I want my IEM to be neutral yet have just enough bass and a crystal clear and detailed treble. So which one of these 2 would do my ears some justice?

[joaomarcelino]

Great review! How do you compare them to Blon BL03?
