Gizaudio x Binary Chopin VS Tanchjim Kara

Youtube Video Summary

The Gizaudio x Binary Chopin presents a unique value, particularly for those who typically prefer speakers or over-ear headphones. Its greatest strength is its extreme comfort and easy fit, making it ideal for long gaming or music sessions without the pressure buildup common with other IEMs. Sonically, it boasts a very good quantity of bass and exceptional vocals that really pop in the mix.

However, the Chopin is not without its weaknesses. The quality of the bass is not world-class, and it can lack some air and sparkle in the highs. The most significant complaint is in the technicals of instruments, which can sometimes sound a bit muffled, unresolving, and odd in their tonality and timbre compared to the standout vocals.

When compared to the TruthEar Nova, the Chopin is found to be livelier and more musical, with warmer, richer lows, while the Nova is drier and more clinical with slightly better highs. Both are considered technical benchmarks at their respective price points. The Symphonium Meteor, meanwhile, is deemed overpriced and its bass is noted as being too overpowering, making the music sound off despite its small, comfortable shell.
