I think HBB's is good too, the gist is the same. Don't buy it unless you need a bass curve like that and tend to listen to music in the same ballpark as HBB's hiphop style. For everyone else, one of his other sets or just a heavier bass, V style set.

This, in my opinion, is what a good review is like. We all know that we all have our own biases, including product reviewers; but as a product reviewer, one should be able to regulate those biases. And Paul did an excellent job here. He still left the door open for people to be curious about it and want to further explore. He was able to describe what the experience would be like so that potential buyers can get a better idea. Unlike the other guy, who just completely "honestly" trashed the whole thing, and claimed that it was an "honest" review. And when given feedback about the way he went about it, he deflects things and gets all defensive about it. Ego. Anyways, this is an excellent review Paul. Other reviewers sure can learn a thing or two from you about how to go about this whole product review thing. Class. Two thumbs up to you, Sir! 👍👍

A long time ago, I learned that just because I don't like a set, doesn't mean that someone else won't enjoy it. Sometimes I won't like a set for the same reasons some else will like it. Matching people to sets and tunings is usually more important than my feelings on it. Anyway, it is a basshead set, bassheads are going to buy a lot of them based on the number of times I have been asked about the best basshead set in the past year.

@@PaulWasabii A lot of reviewers forget that it's really not about them. They are the ones who are supposed to be holding the spotlight on the product and not them being the one on the spotlight. So, Sir, i just want you to know that i have the highest respect for you for the way you do your thing. And yeah, i'm a basshead myself, hehehe... Although every now and then, i'd put on something neutral just to sort of "loosen the string on my bow", so to speak; hehehe... Also, just waiting for the Hades to be released here in the Philippines. It's already got a place waiting for it, next to my Legato. I'm thinking it would most probably be available on the local Shopee platform after the Chinese New Year long holiday, because the only on-line sellers that are first to carry IEMs and things of the like and make it available here, are China-based merchants. Again Paul, Sir, i really appreciate and greatly respect the way you do your reviews. Never, not once, have i heard you let your personal preferences and/or personal biases steal the spotlight from whatever IEM or audio product you are reviewing. Just absolute class, if you ask me. Keep it up Sir; keep it up. 👍❤️👍

The other reviewer is honest at least. This iem (look at that fr!) is pure garbage and hbb knows perfectly this. But he is becoming too much greedy and knows that he can sell everything to the sheeps that are following him! Precog one time defined hbb sheeps as "hbb minions" 😄 Oh and this iem has low quality drivers inside... using a huge amount of bass is not enough to say that this is a bass heads iem... bass needs of quality too..

I've got few budget iems ( cra, blon, blon 03, rosefinch). Does this iem has more noticable bass than my rosefinch in terms of quantity or just same amount with lower treble? I'm sensitive to treble even with rosefinch, can't tolerate cra treble. Kind of confused getting it.

Yeah, that is why I mentioned people who put tuning filters on Rosefinch. That will get you close enough without much money. You can try buying 3M micropore tape on Amazon and then play with the amount covering the nozzle. Cover it, cover half, quarter, etc until you find where you like it. Hades is a bit different with 2 drivers, but I'd invest in some micropore tape and see how it works on Rosefinch and and CRA. www.audioreviews.org/how-to-remove-treble-peaks/

I agree with the other comment. Hades is designed for a subset of HBB's library, the rap, r&b, edm side. Rock which you might like on QKZ x HBB is going to sound overwhelming on Hades. I'd say Hades is better on beats and impacts. Beyond that, you are into genres that work better on QKZ x HBB.

Do I need this BassHead IEM Hades?! I love my CCZ Coffee Bean/Melody. I even purchased the Green Melody model, because I gave my brother my OG Clear Melody! Currently my favourite BassHead IEM to listen to is my KZ Castor Bass UUDD. It has the right amount of Sub Bass/Mid Bass and Treble to me. Not fatiguing at all to me too very enjoyable for all my music. The Rosefinch has more Bass, but I feel the Treble is less bright, and more recessed. I still think its fun and insane for Bass! I also purchased and like my Yellow CCA CA2! This set is very fun and lively. Although, the KZ Castor Bass to me has more Bass. The CCA CA2 is borderline Treble Fatigue to me close to piercing which is my limit. Also, thank you for your Squig Graphs of all your IEM Tests! It helps me see and compare the IEM's I own and see maybe why I like one over another. Unless I want to have the Hades for it's nice looking Design/Faceplate, I don't think I need to buy this right? Keep up the amazing work Paul cheers!

I have my bassy IEMs (Fudu, Z300, Kiwi Ears Melody), though I also don't necessarily consider them basshead sets. And I probably don't listen to enough basshead music to justify the Hades.. but I still might get them especially if I can get them under $40 later on. Would be fun to own a set that has this much bass with a proper darker treble take. This and the Legato are still on my list despite them probably not fitting 80% of my music, just coz of their uniqueness. And I won't lie.. I really just like the faceplate on the Hades.. And I also really just like the name Hades 😂

What I noticed A/B the two, while Rosefinch is non-fatiguing, it is brighter than Hades. Some of that brightness overcomes the bass so Hades at first glance sounds bassier. I wouldn't necessarily say its an upgrade but it has the potential. Its a similar but different flavor of a basshead set. Once you are in basshead land with 15db-ish of bass, you are choosing the tunings and which aligns better to your ears and music.

I briefly mentioned this, if you look at Rosefinch, similar bass levels but the apparent bass level sounds higher on Hades unless you put a tuning filter on Rosefinch. Otherwise, try EQ'ing one of your sets over the 15db level, most drivers don't do well, some might. I am hoping to borrow Fat Freq Scarlett which looks like it might be the strongest off the shelf set. Not sure as at some point it is punishing to listen to and I wouldn't pay hundreds of dollars for that.

Hades solves some pairing and power problems that people ran into with Legato. Legato wasn't meant to be a basshead set so if you are just looking for huge bass level, Hades is the easy choice.

Mostly comes down to intention and library. Legato was designed to be a very full sounding, warm, smooth general purpose set. The balance is different, designed to handle more genres.

I briefly mentioned this and why I said treble too many times. If you have Rosefinch and put a tuning filter on the nozzle to make it more basshead tilted, you will get the idea of Hades. If you want something more V shaped, that is Rosefinch. Pure basshead will lean Hades. Rosefinch with tuning filter is a budget Hades. Hades will sound bassier out of the box due to Rosefinch's treble level.

Problem is KZ never marketed it as a basshead set or ZAS so you had the flip side, the sets aren't good due to their bass level. When KZ puts bass in the name like Castor, suddenly it works despite having a lower bass level.
