The community is for questions, discussions and reviews about IEMs, headphones and audio gear.
⚠️ Zero tolerance
- Insulting, abusing or harshly mocking anyone gets your account suspended right away, with no warning. You won’t be able to log in, your listings disappear, and your phone number won’t be accepted in any listing after that.
- Criticize the gear all you want. Just don’t go after the person.
Before you post
- Pick the right section for your topic.
- Write a clear title with the device name or exactly what you need.
- When you ask for a recommendation, mention your budget, your current gear and how you’ll use it, so you get an answer that actually helps.
- Check your post before you publish it. You can’t edit or delete it afterwards.
Not allowed
- Buying and selling. That’s what the market is for, and if you’re looking for something, post it in “Wanted”. The only thing allowed here is a link to your own market listing, in up to two replies a day.
- Phone numbers, emails and social media accounts.
- Publicly shaming a seller or buyer, or posting your chats with them. If you have a problem with someone, report the listing and the admin will follow up, and report it to the authorities too.
- Copying other people’s reviews or posts. If you share info or a measurement from somewhere else, credit the source.
- Links to pirated software or files.
- Posting the same thing more than once.
Reviews
- Only review gear you’ve used yourself, and say how long you’ve been using it and how you got it.
- If you have any connection to the product, like you sell it or the company sent it to you, say so.
Limits
- You can post 3 topics a day (reviews included) and 30 replies.
- Photos: 4 per question, discussion or reply, and 6 per review.
- A topic closes to new replies 6 months after its last reply.
How we moderate
- Claude (an AI model by Anthropic) reads every topic and reply before it goes live, and translates it automatically. Translated posts show a note on top saying the translation is automatic.
- Some posts wait for the admin to review them, and the admin has the final say.
- Links to trusted sites go live right away. Links to any other site wait for the admin’s approval. Every link a member posts shows a note underneath saying it isn’t from IEM World, so double-check it before you buy anything or enter your details.
- If the admin removes your post and gives a reason, only you can still see it, along with the reason, for 30 days.
- Repeatedly breaking the other rules gets your account suspended.
