Kato is my first and only IEM and I still prefer it to similarly priced and more expensive IEMs I've tried, except one.

IE600: the most technically capable single DD IEM according to some people, but to my ears the bass is too boomy and the treble peak is crazy.

U12T: best all rounder IEMs to some people, but the upper treble just kills it for me.

EXT: lack of upper mid makes the IEM sound unengaging and unnatural

Variations: great mids and treble, but the bass is too much for me

Zen Pro: too much mid bass and upper treble, a bit metallic sounding

Diva: the exception; great tuning and very natural sound with excellent separation. If I want an upgrade, it'll be this IEM.

So, tuning > technicalities all the way for me and since I'm (apparently) very treble sensitive, a nonlinear treble is the biggest and most common deal breaker for me.

Tingo TC200 a miniature version of the KSC75. But damn the vocals are so much more well presented.

Cons : not good to lie down with both :(

I might get hammered for this but I like the CRA more than the Aria

I prefer TANGZU Zetian Wu to Yanyin Moonlight which I could test for a while. I was biased to planar timbre but TANGZU made a great sounding IEM for a much greater price. I like them much more than S12 which are just too clinical and bright to me.

I like my Starfield and DUNU Vernus more than my B2:Dusk.

Dusk has a very lean tonality and sounds sibilant at higher volumes.

Don't get me wrong, the Dusk is a good IEM but I don't understand why people go bananas when one pops for sale on the second hand market? I got mine second hand only because I found a listing on head.fi 5 minutes after it dropped, someone PM'd 20 minutes after I snagged the listing.

BTW, Vernus is just a slightly retuned Falcon Pro, I was very lucky to get one given it had a run of only 100.

The Massdrop Plus might still to this day have my favorite tuning I’ve heard in an IEM.

The Monarch 2 is slowly taking its place but man the Massdrop Plus tuning is just so pleasing to my ears.

DUNU SA6. I listen to it more than all my IEMs costing twice as much combined.

I prefer the sound of the SSR to my IE100 pros. Its just got a nicer quality about it, albeit after a bit of eq.

Sold my ER4SR and EVO after getting my hands on an U-556. No regrets since.
