The “Hype Monitor” is an ongoing project to monitor the popular products in the market today, as well as to record old hype that would have been lost to history otherwise.

Monitoring is based on data derived from common audiophile communities such as Head-Fi, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube, and Discord. The determination of what is “hyped” usually means that the product in question is recognised over multiple platforms.

(If you believe that any IEM belongs on this monitoring project but isn’t added yet, either email me at [email protected] or ping me on my various platforms such as Reddit or Discord.)

This project is currently a work-in-progress. It is not an exhaustive list of all currently-hyped IEMs nor a comprehensive historical compilation of previously hyped IEMs.
