$20 vs $200 vs $2000 IEM Comparison: Tangzu Wan'er vs Aful Performer 5 vs 64Audio U12T | Sound Demo

Disclaimer: Capturing audio through a coupler do not accurately reflect the actual sound. Multiple factors such as coupler resonance, seal, background noise, compression, playback device and more will affect how they sound in this recording. This coupler has some trouble capturing higher frequencies, so the treble and overall "clarity" between the two is misrepresented. To accurately present higher frequencies in this recording, a high pass filter was applied to the whole video.
