The Antdroid Tier List for IEMs is a compilation of three main categories:
Tonality, Technicality, and my own Preference Grade with a weighted scoring system of 15% 15 % and 70% respectively.
The Preference grade is just my personal grade which is based on sound, fit/feel, and
other more subjective biases. Remember, "tonality" and "technicality" is supposed to stand on its own, they still may and will have bias applied to it from me. I am not a robot, even if my user name may imply so.
There is also a unique Value score. This is a auto-generated score based on the price to performance ratio of each IEM versus the entire population. It'll give up to 3 stars for best value at their price points, and also show "X" for ones to avoid as poor performers for their price point.
As of May 27, 2024 -- this is a visualized version of the ranking list:

maybe nice addition -- color code the prices based on the country created. Example -- make all US based iems blue shaded -- make all China red. Or don't want to go to country level, go Asia one color, go Europe another, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll notice that the list is Asia-American focused.
kinda bummed to see the Tia Trio ranked so low :P
