#510 NiceHCK NX8Ti: $399.00 Amazon $399.00 eBay
Pros: A limited tribrid with a titanium dynamic driver, six balanced armatures and a piezo tweeter. Measurements show bass right on the Harman target and full sub-bass to 20 Hz (score 71 across nine measurements).
Cons: Treble sits about 3.5 dB below target, a dark, relaxed balance. A 180 ohm impedance is unusually high for an IEM, so check your source can drive it.
Is the NiceHCK NX8Ti right for you?
Buy it if
- your taste runs warm: it scores 81 for that sound.
- you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 3.5 dB below target).
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
- you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 21 points.
Skip it if
- you will plug straight into a phone or laptop: at 180 ohms it needs a headphone amp.
- you want the best value: the higher-rated EPZ G10 costs about $375 less.

Frequency Response
How the NiceHCK NX8Ti measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 9 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: median of 9 measurements from the squig.link databases of atechreviews, audioamigo, bassaudio, dl, elrics, hu-fi, jaytiss, practiphile and superreview. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
