What to Look For
Key factors to consider before buying on AliExpress
Planars (Tangzu Zetian Legend, KZ PRX on sale) offer speed and detail; quality single dynamics (Simgot EA500) offer coherence. Hybrids add BA sparkle but risk timbre issues.
Most sub-₹5,000 IEMs run fine from phones, but planars scale with a ₹2,000 DAC dongle. Budget the source if chasing planar detail.
₹6,000–7,000 IEMs (Zetian Legend, Simgot EM6L) regularly drop under ₹5,000 during sales. Never pay sticker — track and stack coupons.
