top in-ear-monitors (iems)
The various IEMs listed below are our subjective picks for the top IEMs in the world, based upon our reviews. That said, the list is a dynamic list and as we review new IEMs that we feel deserve a spot on the list, the list and the ranking will change to accommodate the new IEM. Things do change.
The Obravo RA-C-CU ($10,000) is a TOTL IEM not unlike the TOTL super cars—the Bugatti Chiron, Ferrari 488 Pista, Koenigsegg Jesko, Lamborghini Veneno, and Pagani Zonda Revolucion. The Obravo RA-C-CU is the best IEM, to date, far surpassing the talents of even its EAMT-2C sibling.
The Obravo EAMT-2C ($2999) offers remarkable top to bottom coherency, truly breathtaking tonality and truth of timbre, stunning transient speed, and near peerless top to bottom extension. It is, perhaps, the most incredible, if not the best IEM that I have ever had the opportunity to review, let alone listen to.
The VISION EARS EVE ($1300) is an exceptional IEM that beautifully covers all the bases—sweet, extended treble, thunderous bass, striking musicality, and a marvelous transparency.
The VISION EARS ELYSIUM ($2500) is a very good IEM whose midrange summons transparency and richness and transient speed, that is truly compelling. And its bass, while not the deepest, will please many.
the RAI PENTA’s ($1099) are beautifully tuned, balanced, textured, and exceptionally detailed works of art. They provide a very natural, airy, and fluid listening experience with captivating musicality and superb tone and timbre.
