Kefine Klean SV or Cozoy D1
The first IEM I ever tried was the Tangzu Wan'er SG. I ordered it for a friend, so I only got to use it occasionally. Later, I bought the Truthear Gate for myself, but the fit was completely off for my ears, so I had to return it.
Currently, my daily driver is the QKZ x HBB (the standard version, not the Khan) which I won in a YouTube giveaway. However, I am facing a few issues with it:
• The fit is really uncomfortable for my ears.
• The cable is white and feels very cheap, which makes it look dirty.
• When listening to heavy EDM tracks, my ears start to hurt and fatigue easily.
So, I am looking to upgrade to a new IEM around $40. My main priorities are a comfortable fit and a decent, clean-looking cable. I am also willing to spend a bit extra on accessories like ear tips and a DAC later on.
My Setup & Preferences:
• I use an iPad 9th Gen with Apple Music, so I strictly need a 3.5mm termination.
• I would prefer having an in-line mic, but it's definitely not so important that I would compromise on sound quality for it.
• My music taste is highly exploratory—I listen to almost everything, including acoustic guitar covers, live performances, and unplugged songs. I have even made a separate YouTube account solely dedicated to exploring the music world, where I only listen to songs.
• I also play games occasionally.
The Dilemma:
Right now, I am really confused between two IEM brands: Kefine and Cozoy. According to you guys, which one of these two should I go for?
Also, if you have any other better recommendations in mind that fit my requirements around this price point, please let me know. Any help would be highly appreciated!
