What reviewers said

Sivga SM100

The Sivga SM100 is a budget-friendly wired IEM that punches above its price with an open, cohesive sound and impressive detail retrieval. Its controlled bass and clear mids make for a well-rounded listen, though it doesn't dig exceptionally deep in the sub-bass and the treble rolls off at the top. With a lightweight build and a detachable 2-pin cable, it's a solid option for those seeking a neutral-ish, comfortable fit under $40.

  • Pro:Excellent value for the price
  • Pro:Open, cohesive sound with good detail
  • Pro:Controlled bass and clear mids
  • Con:Limited sub-bass extension
  • Con:Treble rolls off at the top
  • Con:No water resistance or USB-C option

Truthear x Crinacle Zero Red

It’s designed to be comfortable for extended listening, making it a solid pick for those who prefer a relaxed, non-fatiguing presentation. With no ANC, it relies on passive isolation from its fit.

  • Pro:Warm, natural tuning for long sessions
  • Pro:Dual dynamic drivers for rich bass and detail
  • Pro:Comfortable fit for extended wear
  • Con:No active noise cancellation
  • Con:Requires a source with enough power (17.5 ohm impedance)
