The Antdroid Tier List for Headphones 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.

Has anyone yet pointed out the $1K pricing error for Hifiman HE6SE v2?
ReplyDeleteIts on sale for $700-ish 100% of the time its in stock, so I think that price is accurate.
DeleteIs this list with or without eq? Also what makes the focal clear better than elex?
ReplyDeleteI dont rank with EQ.
DeleteHI Ant! LCD-X: is it the 2021 version? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNo, this is the original version. If I ever try the new one, I'll designate it with 2021 in the listing.
