EPZ Q1 Pro - Amazon - Amazon

The EPZ Q1 Pro is one of my favorite cheap IEMs in this price bracket, and I brought it in because it contrasts nicely with the Cadenza II. It leans more treble-focused, so if you want something that feels a bit lighter on bass, this is the direction.

Pros

+Treble-leaning tuning compared to bassier budget sets
+Strong value in the sub-$50 range
+Nice alternative if you don’t want heavy bass

Cons

-Less “fun” bass impact than Cadenza II
-Doesn’t compete with Arete 2 on overall refinement
