Watch Before You Buy @BadGuyGoodAudioReviews IEMs...

The TRI x HBB KAI is a horrible IEM with severe issues. In this review of the TRI x HBB KAI, I explain why you should not purchase it at any cost.

Thanks for highlighting this gem, Sharun. Already placed my order.

[EduRB]

Please explain one thing, you've spent more than a year praising the er2se as the best IEM in the world, all of the sudden, you changed your opinion about the Harman target, and just like that you started picking flaws about the etymotic? Not just flaws, it automatically starts sounding horrible... Don't you trust your ears at all? How you can listen to something for more than a year and think it's the best thing in earth and overnight it's just garbage? The only explanation for that is hearing damage, or your er2se is broken, you have some sort of cognitive dissonance, or you're just being dishonest. You never explained what made you change your mind about the Harman target that you said it was for "retards", and now it's the only acceptable target. I don't think we can trust your graph reading ability either, because you use to read the Variations' graph and think it was "overpriced garbage", once you've listen to it, you fell in love with it, and everything else automatically became "garbage". How can I know once you listen something better than the Variations will it not become "garbage" too? Sorry, I don't mean to offend you, but gimme one objective reason why I should trust you over HBB? Because we can't trust your analysis on graphs, for example, you recently trashed the new crinacle IEM that graphs very close to the Variations, but you never even heard it, even if you did, you clearly don't trust your ears either, again why should we trust you over other accomplished reviewers? Because you don't offer any consistency in your opinions, looks like you randomly pick things, completely made up, and pretend you know what you're talking about just to trash other's people work, in other to get attention and views. You can't tell how something sounds just looking at graphs and your very own experience with the Variations can demonstrate that.

some day sharur will buy a rig and learn how to use parametric eq to realize what he likes instead of reading studies

[JACloudy]

You know, i never can tell if this guy is really genuine in his schizo ramblings, a troll or if he just grabs the scripts of his videos from 4chan. Still, this is entertaining so you got my like and my sub.

[davidcoons]

Don’t forget that he does indeed have a tribrid already, the ‘Kinda Lava’ collab with Shuoer on the Ej07m. Not that adding mid bass to the stock Ej07m would make it desirable to listen to for ya, but he does indeed have that tribrid.

[pushyoch.]

Kinera has that 3 drivers tribrid yet to be released. Maybe you can ask them for a collab since it fits your requirement

[maxxmenezes]

Anything the HBB collaborates sounds wrong. He always cuts off about 50% of the treble and puts in as much mid bass as he can.

[Tiktakrdm]

What do you think about Crinacles new IEM with Truthears? It measures very similar to the Variations.

[joefilter]

The comments are fairly harsh, but not altogether off-base. There’s no weirdness, just 3 polite lanes, but I’m not sure why anyone would choose it over something like the Ety 2XR. Coming back later, with foam tips the base is very good.

[y___]

At 3:25 you mentioned, that Tin HiFi T3 plus with eq if one can't afford. For noob like me, which target would you suggest for eq? Harman IE 2019 or use moondrop variations as reference?
I have found harman to be fine for bass and mids. Treble is always a hit or miss.

[zeissiez]

3 hours into my set. Tuning is very similar to the T3 Plus, but better in technicalities. Great set 👍

[arghadeepmisra]

Just checkout Tripowin-Olina, and if you dislike them, then dude you're a pure 🤡 (Not advocating any other HBBs IEM)

[jaimansworld]

You should create a target response curve so I dont have to keep using the moondrop variations to normalize against other IEMS.

[mandaf]

There is two version (KAI & KAI 2). The KAI 2 is the fixed version, not this graph

[metradawn]

Third vid about iem collabs 3 days in a row. Come on Sharur, contact some iem manufacturer and get your tuning on. They'll literally ask anyone to collab.

[noobishsturmwerfer]

Funniest thing in this video is HBB calling Sharur "passive aggressive". 🤣 Yeah, and that rabid dog is just "having a bad day".

And yeah, HBB IEMs lean more on the bloaty side of things like with the DQ6s.

[humanbeing]

"Just look at the graph bro", hasn't everyone already moved on from pointing at graphs with no context or actual music? Even if the criticism is on point it's weightless.

[dcmx]

I would love to get Genelec 8341 or 8351 but i don’t have that much money to spend. What’s your opinion about 8030C? What monitors do You recommend under 1500€ for a pair?

[pranavh]

Any suggestions for best IEM under 100 dollars?

[static]

what about the 7hz salnotes zero? it's supposedly a chu competitor but has a bit more bass and less of a dip in upper treble
