About This Video

In this video I put the “planar is planar” idea to the test by comparing a $40 planar (KZ PRX), an $80 planar (Letshuoer S08), and a ~$160 planar (Kiwi Ears Aether). On paper, planar drivers should give you low distortion no matter the brand, so I wanted to know if the expensive stuff is actually doing something the cheap one can’t. I also explain who planar IEMs are really for—especially if you’re the type who loves to mess with EQ and wants that cleaner, more technical presentation for both music and gaming. I start with the PRX and keep it real: if you go cheapest, you risk QC issues, long waits, and random annoyances like tips/glue irritation and weak customer service. But if you get a good unit, the value is stupid good—low distortion, solid separation/imaging, and a fun V-shaped tuning that works from pop and rap to orchestral. Then I explain why the Letshuoer S08 is the “makes sense for most people” pick: warm, fun, safe at higher volume, and a great EQ platform without too much of that metallic planar timbre. After that, I talk about diminishing returns and the pricier options: 7Hz x Crinacle Diablo for bassheads who still want technicals, Crinear Daybreak if you want bright/open detail without the usual planar trade-offs, and Kiwi Ears Aether if you want the full planar experience and basically endless EQ headroom—just watch out for dated accessories and big-housing comfort.
