  1. Great review. Akros always telling it how it is. Fair to the options out there in the market. I am a basshead, Scarlet Mini is a gem. I have zero interest in that guy's collabs, this one especially. Poor. Sad that he'd exploit his followers.

  2. Those cables actively harm the sound, its the same one as the x hbb and the Khan..just garbage, my Khans sound great on double ended with big power and a good cable, just open right up, all the bad stuff, just gone…on the stock cable, well..if they still sounded that way on a good cable, I would have given them away to the children next door. I dont know why they unclude such a junk cable with their products.

  3. Excellent review especially with comparison to Juzear Clear. Akros: Sometimes iems give you a thin veil, the Hades is a thick, heavy rug👏😅👏… I was cryin 😂! Well said & concur, thought this would have been better all considered. Can't wait to see what you have to say about Meyer-audio SA6 (slivio SLT6?).

  4. He hyped this so much, got us bassheads excited. Interesting that he said the RF is just on and yet he pumps this thing out. Wonder if he downplayed the RF in order to hype his IEMs. He doesn't have an official review nor is Rosefinch on his squig. Wonder if he downplayed/ignored the RF in order to hype his IEMs. I love my dirty bass clean of the mud thank you! Bassheads want quality and quantity. RF proves this can be done even Ultra budget. BTW which stock filter did you remove for the mod?

  5. Thank you for the second opinion.
    It's still baffling that this thing costs 50$ – with really poor accessories and questionable very narrow listening focus, I would expect this to cost under 20$. Did they just added extra 30$ for collab and called it a day? 🤔

  6. I was expecting it to be a neutral review since lot of people are under influnce of HBB but thanks for your honest review, I would love to hear your recommendation for an IEM that has perfect bass quantity for my EDM collection without sacrificing the mids and details, please recommend any IEM, will Sound Rhyme DTE900 be a good choice or something from Penon. Thanks

  7. Absolutely love the KBear Rosefinch. One of the best values for an enjoyable basshead iem set out there. I have a 7Hz Legato, a nicer built IEM for sure, but the Rosefinch has a better all-round balance and a better general fit. The Rosefinch can be enjoyed with a wide genre of music and works especially well outdoors. Pair it with KZ BT20XS for low-cost wireless bliss.

    I remember the car audio scene from the '90s. Now I just use a SubPac along with my headphones when I need to experience true subbass.

  8. thank you for your honesty, this community is very tight knit and a lot of reviewers are saying good things about this because of the industry-complications. the release of this iem, showed me who the honest iem reviewers are. respect. lost respect for dan's reviews, paul wasabii, vortex reviews and jays audio to be honest.

    its a shame like you said because HBB can do great things, this pegged him down quite a bit.

    how about a qkz hbb 2 with a more quality driver? im down for that.

  9. HBB did exactly what he said he was going to do with this set, it's not suppose to have controlled bass. It's excessive for the sake of being excessive and it's so fun to listen to. If I want quality I have my other sets.

  10. Good car audio should be able to play a symphony orchestra flawlessly and then when a track that calls for bass it would shake the fillings out of your head. Ive heard a demo of the Hades from Dan's audio reviews and to me they sounded like a car stereo with a cheap amp and sub woofer speaker box added to a stock car system .The system I put in my big truck 20 years ago had 5 amps Rockford Fosgate class A and MTX with 9 speakers MB Quart, Kenwood excelon, Boston Acoustic and Rockford Fosgate giving an enormous amount of headroom and clarity.

  11. We need more reviewers in this hobby like yourself. Thank you for being honest 🙏 Mind if you let us know the Nozzle Diameter of Rose Finch? So I know the size of 350 – 450 Mesh Filters to buy. Thanks!😄

  12. Respect for speaking your mind the same way HBB would

    It's unfortunate really since I do enjoy the set but completely understand the driver quality issue since my UP is my main bass set

  13. You have got to be the reviewer with the most vast experience across the board with IEMs. Seems like you’ve tried it all! Curious as to why we don’t see much of “top x earphones in the y-z dollar range” from you? Perhaps split into tuning preferences or something like that. I always think those are useful.

  14. I just now discovered this set and checked out his video after watching this. I'm not taking sides because I'm not that kind of person, however it's a bit unfair to place the blame of hype on him when all he did was press the point that this thing is intentionally bloated with bass. Just about all the hype for his collabs and general opinions come from the typical braindead followers that blow anyone out of proportion.

    That aside, I'm not too surprised about your results because it seemed weird to split frequencies across otherwise identical drivers – small ones, at that. The Amazon description initially implies that the drivers were actually splitting the signal in a way that gets the sound through under-driving them, so it was weird hearing the exact opposite in your video haha

  15. Basshead IEMs are very hard to do well, there is a reason a lot of the well known sets are very expensive; You not only need a very powerful and capable bass driver with the right technicalities, but the highs have to have to the ability to peek above all that bass, and do it well, otherwise you just end up with mud and bloat. That's the problem with every budget basshead IEM I've heard: there is just no detail, you come away with the impression that clarity has been mushed into nothing by the bass. If you're a basshead on a budget, I recommend looking for quality over tuning. Look for an IEM with a very capable DD, either alone or in a hybrid, and EQ to your level or vent mod. You will be amazed the bass you can get from drivers that do not measure very bassy at all.
