IEM Comparison – The Battle to be the Best

Cocktails can come thick and fast. Sometimes after a few it is really hard to know what you are doing and what you want. Our IEM Comparison should help with the that. All of the IEMs reviewed at the HiFi Mai Tai Beach Bar find their way here and are included in our comparison.

But we recognize everyone is different. Everyone has their own unique taste in cocktails. To help with this we have included the scores assigned to the individual musical aspects assessed in our taste test. So whether you are  treble-head or a bass-head these graphs should help inform your decisions. Your next IEM awaits. Good luck hunting.

But please don’t forget our Taste Tests employ a highly subjective approach and all score are the opinion of the Bartender and the Bartender only.

Scroll Through the Graphs to See How Different IEMs Compare Across the Criteria Reviewed in our taste tests. (Graphs Updated at the End of the Month)

Reading the Graphs…

All of the criteria considered in our test tastes are expressed as a percentage (%) with 100% being as good as it gets.

Individual IEMs are labeled on each of the graph and plotted against their cost. The Dashed Line indicates the ‘average’ performance against cost. Therefore, Anything above the Line is performing Higher than Its Price Would Suggest.

Tabulated Ratings…

Graphs arean’t for Everything and they certainly arean’t for everyone so we have also tabulated the ratings. These ratongs are the same as those included in the graph but presented differently. We wanted to give you the choice.
