Folks, I have done a few reviews by now from the brand “Rose Technics” and I have yet to hear a set that isn’t tuned very well to the intended target. I’ve reviewed and...

Fiio JH5 Review Fiio JH5 Intro Hello folks I have with me the latest mutli-driver hybrid iem from the very popular brand Fiio named the Fiio JH5. The JH5 consists of one dynamic driver and four custom balanced armature drivers. All this costs roughly $79. Fiio has been around for a long time, and I’ve owned a bucket load of their iems, dac/amps, daps and Bluetooth dacs and I gotta tell you, I’ve always liked what I’ve spent my hard-earned money on from Fiio. Jade Audio? The JH5 is partially created due to a collaboration with Fiio’s sister...

The SnowyNight is Aful’s first dongle dac/amp and was provided to me by another very highly competitive outfit… “Hifigo” in exchange for a written review and feature at Mobileaudiophile.com.

Simgot EW200 Review "Raising the Bar" Simgot EW200 “Maze” Intro What’s up friends, I have with me today the “Simgot EW200”, which is Simgot’s latest mid-budget iem coming in at roughly $42. I realize that I’m a bit late to the party with this review. Scratch that, I’m really late to this Simgot party. Still, I am considering this a “better late than never” situation. I’m actually just going to be upfront with you all, I really like what Simgot has been doing. Also, I’m not the only one. Literally, I can search “Simgot EW200 Reviews” and there...

Rose Technics QT9 Mk3 Review Rose Technics QT9 MK3 Intro Today I am reviewing one of the latest sets crafted by Rose Technics called the “Rose Technics QT9 MK3”. The QT9 MK3 is currently priced at $280 at their website but can be found as low as $182 on Aliexpress which by the way is very nice. For review purposes I will consider the MK3 closer to the actual price, so to rank them accordingly. That said, it’s smack dab in the middle of a mountain of fantastic sets. Somehow, I don’t think they (Rose Technics) are very worried. Rose Technics has...

Aful Performer 8 Review Aful Performer 8 Intro Hello folks, this is my full written review of the Aful Performer 8, or “P8” as I’ll call it for review purposes. The P8 is an eight-driver hybrid iem hovering around the mid-fi/midrange price of about $330 depending on where you can find it. Also, the P8 is one of three earphones (in total) which have come from this brand-new company… Aful Audio. I actually just recently reviewed the Aful MagicOne (MagicOne Review) and I feel it is one of the better sets in the price point and certainly one of...

The PR3 comes from the people of KZ Acoustics, and I’m very excited to hear what they have cookin’ on this latest budget planar iem. Of course, I thank you for checking out this review and do hope it helps you out folks. I also thank KZ for providing the PR3 in exchange for a full review at Mobileaudiophile.com.

CCA Rhapsody Review CCA Rhapsody Intro Hello, the set I have before me today is one of KZ/CCA‘s latest Hybrid iems, the “CCA Rhapsody”. I just reviewed the most recent hybrid, the KZ ZAT (ZAT Review) a month or so ago and I was impressed. There are some slight issues but it’s a nice set. I am very curious what we will be seeing with this latest iteration in KZ/CCA’s lineup and how KZ/CCA builds upon past hybrids. I want to thank KZ for sending me the Rhapsody in exchange for a full written review. Just a disclaimer; I received no monetary...

Letshuoer S15 Review Full written review Letshuoer S15 Intro Today I am reviewing one of Letshuoer’s latest within their lineup of planar magnetic iems, the “Letshuoer S15”. Letshuoer is one of those brands that seems inclined to try something new, something different, possibly something that not many of us have heard of. This is the case with this wonderful new planar magnetic iem, further in the review I will certainly expound on that. Back to Letshuoer, there is also something different about this brand. From an outside perspective that is...

Rose Technics QuietSea Review Rose Technics QuietSea Intro Hello everyone, today I am reviewing a collaboration iem between Ikki Audio and Rose Technics called the Rose Technics QuietSea (RQS as I’ll call it for review purposes). When I was asked to review this set, I jumped at it because both of these companies have my respect and admiration. Collaboration iems are good for the hobby in my opinion as they usually offer a bit more intrigue and anticipation. Especially when the collaboration is between two normally competing brands. This...

Now, the S9 Pro was certainly one of the more impressive...

KBear KB01 Review KBear KB01 Intro Hello, this is my full written review of KBear‘s latest budget priced iem, the KBear KB01 ($35). I have had around a month of listening to this set and I have to say that the KB01 is going to compete very well against the competition. I have reviewed a number of KBear iems over the years and it has been somewhat of an up & down road. I’m sure we all would like to see KBear rise again to the place they once were amongst the other big time audio brands that float around the budget space. Recent reviews Very...

Soundpeats Air4 Pro Review Soundpeats Air4 Pro Intro This is an exciting set that I’m reviewing today from the good people of Soundpeats, the Soundpeats Air4 Pro. Soundpeats seems to just get better and better with every true wireless iteration of each series, and they do so at a very quick pace. I think it’s fair to say that they’ve got this tws thing down. I want to thank Ellen as well as Soundpeats for providing the Air4 Pro in exchange for a full review & feature at Mobileaudiophile.com. Soundpeats Friends, Soundpeats has been around for a...

Hidizs MS1 Galaxy Hidizs MS1 Galaxy Intro Hello friends, this is my full written review of a brand new Hidizs Budget iem aptly named the “Hidizs MS1 Galaxy“. I was asked to review this set awhile back and have had plenty of time to digest its sound and really get a feel for it and how it may fit against the current crop of iems in the under $20 price point. In fact, the actual retail price of the MS1 will hover around $15 to $17 US which is pretty great to see. Hidizs The audio company Hidizs was founded in 2009, so they have been ingrained...

KZ AZ20 Review KZ AZ20 Today I am reviewing the very latest KZ Bluetooth Modular Cable device, the KZ AZ20. I was very happy to receive these Bluetooth ear hooks as I have garnered a decent collection of them over the years and from the promotional material, I see that KZ has added one very good onboard chip. Ya know, I have reviewed quite a few KZ earphones over the past couple years, and I have to be completely honest, they just seem to get better and better. Every iteration of their earphones scales up from its predecessor. So, if KZ takes...
