  1. BQEYZ Winter

    4.50 star(s)
    BQEYZ Winter Review (Fahri’s Take) A fitting ending to an era as the BQEYZ Winter deliver in more ways than one. With their unusual tuning, great technical capability and successful bone conduction driver implementation Winter have become one of the more compelling choices in its price range. The Winter are the latest entry to Chinese earphone manufacturer BQEYZ’s Seasons line-up. BQEYZ is by no means an inexperienced brand, however, they don’t usually follow current trends and hypes, and instead proceed at their own pace. Winter was earlier...
  2. TangZu Audio Zetian Wu Heyday Edition

    4.50 star(s)
    Tangzu x HBB Zetian Wu Heyday Edition is the collaboration version of the now discontinued Tangzu Zetian Wu between Tangzu and the popular reviewer Hawaii Bad Boy (A.K.A. Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews). I reviewed the Original Zetian Wu and it took its place among my all-time favorites. In case of Heyday, personally I find HBB’s preference very safe and likeable. Heyday comes at 199$ and a Linsoul exclusive item. You can also read the full review as well as my other reviews at mobileaudiophile.com and check out my IEM measurements at...

  4. SIVGA Oriole

    4.00 star(s)
    Sivga Orioles are Sivga’s newest closed-back headphones. They are priced at 238$ on their Aliexpress store and 199$ on Amazon. I don’t understand why they list them differently but it is what it is. You can also read the full review along with our other reviews at mobileaudiophile.com.

  5. Tangzu WAN ER SG

    4.00 star(s)
    Wan'er S.G Tangzu Wan’er S.Gs are the entry level IEMs of Tangzu, the Wonderkid of Chifi last year. Well as I mentioned earlier in my Tangzu Zetian Wu Review, which you can read here, they are not really inexperienced but after changing their name they became more active and aggressive. Anyway Wan’ers are priced at 19$, although they are all over the place since last two months there were a lot of sales and promotions. Pros Tuning Masterclass No Real Sibilance unless the Recording is Sibilant Forward mids like other Tangzu earphones Lovely...
  6. TRI i One

    3.00 star(s)
    Tri iOne is Tri’s new flagship single DD iem that came out not long ago. They somehow flew under the radar as you can’t even find many reviews or measurements of them. In this review I will try to convey my feelings about them. You can also read this review at mobileaudiophile.com Disclaimers Without boring you too much, I don’t necessarily have a sound preference.

  7. SIVGA SV021

    3.00 star(s)
    SV021 Robin is Sivga’s Closed Back headphone that is targeted toward more budget concious consumers. Their MSRP is 179$ but usually sold at 149$. Sivga recently released Oriole which is sold for 199$. I’m not sure if they are supposed to replace SV021 but for now that doesn’t seem to be the case. Unfortunately, I don’t have Oriole so this review does not consist of the two models’ comparison but if we get a pair in the future, we will try to update this one too.

  8. Tangzu Audio Zetian Wu

    4.50 star(s)
    Tangzu Zetian Wu is a planar magnetic IEM, that comes at a price of 149$ MSRP (154$ if you prefer a 4.4 mm balanced cable.) Maybe this review is a little bit later than the first wave but, I wanted to explore them too, as their tuning seemed to my liking but also there were some negative reviews too. I hope it would help your purchasing decisions just before 11.11 sale. You can check out the full review also at mobileaudiophile.

  9. Audio-Technica ATH-R70x | R Series Professional Open Back Dynamic Reference Headphone

    4.00 star(s)
    R70x is Audio-Technica’s first open back headphones those are marketed towards professionals. They have an MSRP of 350$. There are a lot of properties that make R70x an appealing choice, but also competition is very stiff in its price range. Lately I’ve been seeing them resurface and decided to take them on myself.

  10. HIFIMAN SUNDARA

    4.50 star(s)
    Hifiman Sundara is one of the most popular planar magnetic headphones on the market. Although they have been around for like 5 years, a silent revision in 2020 made tuning of them even better and gave the edge against their competitors. When Sundaras first came out, their MSRP was 499$ then it came down to 349$ for the longest time. Lately, Hifiman have reduced the price to 299$ to stay relevant against competition, especially their own Edition XS which is sold for 499$. This review is also can be read at mobileaudiophile.com. I'd appreciate if you...
  11. HIFIMAN Edition XS

    4.00 star(s)
    Hifiman Edition XS is highly regarded since it first came out in 2021 and one of the most recommended headphones under 500$. With the MSRP of 499$, it is mostly compared to Hifiman’s own Sundara and Ananda.

  12. SIVGA Phoenix - wooden flagship dynamic driver headphone

    3.50 star(s)
    Sivga Phoenix, priced as 255$ MSRP, have been talked about a lot when it first came out. Directly aiming at the reigning kings, HD6** series below 500$ at the time, it was relatively successful. In this review I will mostly compare Sivga Phoenix to HD600 (my review here) with a few others. Disclaimers Without boring you too much, I don’t necessarily have a sound preference. I tend to enjoy different sound profiles as long as they do well at what they intend to do. I’m not very sensitive to treble so I can enjoy the most notoriously bright headphones...

  15. Sennheiser HD 600

    4.00 star(s)
    Welcome to Sennheiser HD600 review of mobileaudiophile.com. This is by no means my first review but I see it as beginning of greater things in the future so I will rant a little if you don’t mind. Still, if you are not interested you can skip this part. Many of you have a pair Sennheiser HD6** series headphones or at least heard one at some point. So probably there is no need for another review of one of the most popular headphones of all time. After all you can read review of another, more accomplished reviewer that you feel more familiar with...
