First impressions, not burned, but im impressed with this iem

Have to say I received with a fan discount, but anyways, for the retail price (299€) I could compare them to more pricey options like MANGIRD TOP.

KOVABUNGA
FEBOS (HISENIOR) OKAVANGO

✅ Suitable for low volume
✅ Bass is delicious, treble is on point
✅ TOTL build quality
✅ Switches are really useful
✅ Deep scene with a nice sense of weight…

🟡 …although its on intimate side
🟡 Packaging is beautiful, but complements are not at same level

⭕ With some tips, driver flex could be an issue

🔈 Driver Setup. 1DD 9.5mm Dual Magnet BioCellurar – 4 Sonion BA - 2 Knowles Ba – 4Way Crossover

First day with Okavango, fun IEM. Big and lush bass, with solid mids and treble. Little energetic sounding, so far very happy.
After toying with the switches I ended on UD, as I love bass and found UU slightly to hot in the treble on some music with brass.

Nice cable you got there.

I would like to talk about bass. I really like the driver of setup they make here. It's concise, is fast, is punchy.

Treble sounds hot to you? Im using on UU setup and sounds perfect to me. But its nice to have switches to found a more pleasant sound.

What about fit? No driver flex issues?

Yes driver flex, but not horrible. Slight pop on insertion.
Had IEMs before that driver flex when moving jaw 😂

Very comfortable, can use for hours. Nice ergonomic design, not short nozzle.

Bass is very nice as you say not slow and dull. Speed and impact is on the nice side. Very nice after having used the Penon 10th last day, with more slow and fuzzy bass..

Chat with GARETH, HISENIOR manager about the issue with driver flex.

See this kind of attention for feedback and detail is something that could make this brand one of the best.

I asked and had this explained to me as well, you just beat me to it with sharing the information. They said the next/any future batches will be made with this pressure release system. Bravo for the swift reaction to an issue! I placed my order for a custom 😁

And…

They are on my list of brands to follow. Is there anything outstandingly resolving from this brand? TOTL stuffs.

You won't regret.

Im finishing my review of the XENNS TOP and moving to this quickly. One of the best of the year, because it has a really impressive price (sub300) with 6ba (sonion and knowles) that can compete with a little bit expensive ones (ej07m, top, variations...)

And…

They got an TRIBRID on the sub500 price range.

But GARETH is already working on more WILD-NATURE series, wich the first one is this OKAVANGO, more focused on the musicality (warmer, lush sound)

Probably the move a little step up on price also, so maybe they point to the TOTL range.

@baskingshark KARA received. Its burning on my ears right now.

Its a special presentation, it remember clearly to the WHIZZER HE03D.

What tips do you recommend? Fit is a issue with this big tube

Wow nice!

I use the stock wide bore eartips with it, no fit issues on my end but YMMV.

Hisenior Okavango

Okavango is just pure fun, it delivers a joyful experience where your feet will start tapping to your music.
Not the most resolving set out there, but this was never what they tried to make here.
Bass is lush and full, mids are full and forward and treble is present while not tiresome.

Feel free to read it if its of any interest, cheers.
