Project M: The beauty is in the details
Pros: Detail, Imaging, Layering are good in general not just for the price.
Cons: Highs can be bothersome, upper mid treble emphasis may not be everyones cup of tea, Bass impact.

Not really one into previews, asking people to stay tuned, here are my thoughts on the Project M.

The Dita Project M is the latest release from Dita Audio with an SRP of $325. This a hybrid iem with 1 knowles BA and their PM-1+ Dynamic driver.

It’s pretty much a complete package and you only need a source of your own choice to enjoy these.

Unboxing these, you get a premium hardcase, Modular 3.5mm/4.4mm cable (cardas wired) together with the iems. A set of Final audio type E tips is included which glow in the dark. For this review though I used my own Final audio tips.

These iems are aesthetically pleasing, sturdy, and great as an every day carry.

The fit on these are great, soft edges all around and feels like it was custom fit to a degree.

On to how it sounds:

It’s not for bassheads. Bass here is detailed and Drums sound as it should but with less impact.

Mids are a bit forward, and there is an emphasis of the mid-high frequencies. What this does is it presents more details, images instruments well, good layering.

The highs can be a problem on certain tracks, which can be remedied using aftermarket tips. In this case, tangzu sancai tips helped.

Soundstage is slightly out of head. There is a good sense of space and they perform admirably well on busy tracks.

In summary, the Dita Project M combines exceptional sound quality with thoughtful design and accessories. One of the most aesthetically pleasing iems if I may say so.

With its sturdy case, premium cables and tips, and beautiful transparent shell, the Project M offers a complete package that delivers both sonic excellence and visual appeal. I placed an order on these 😅

A Full Sounding One! - Aful Magicone
Pros: Midrange is one of the best I have heard in it’s price range.

Highs are well rendered and with good decay
Cons: Bass is still not DD level, lacks punch but goes deep.
Disclaimer: I purchased these for an early bird price as I was interested with the tech used for this product.

Gear Used: Apple Dongle, Fiio BTR7 (4.4mm) as a dongle and Bluetooth, Dunu S&S tips

Sound Impressions:
The Aful MagicOne, featuring a customized single balanced armature, truly shines in its nuanced audio reproduction.

The highs are beautifully rendered, showcasing not only clarity but also an impressive decay that adds a layer of richness to the listening experience. The midrange is clear and detailed, capturing the subtleties of vocals and instruments even with busy tracks.

While deep bass is present, it may be perceived as lacking a bit in impact for those who crave a more pronounced low-end thump. This is not a dealbreaker for me but may disappoint bassheads. I do hear more rumble for a single BA which is commendable.

However, the overall balance ensures a well-rounded sound signature that caters to most genres of music.

Fit and Comfort:
The compact design of the in-ear monitor enhances comfort during extended listening sessions. It is lighweight and makes it easy to forget that you are wearing them. On a personal note, I am happy that I don’t need to have a deep insertion single ba iem anymore ! (loved the er4xr but that fit made me give up).

How easy are they to drive?
Fairly easy to drive, a bit of power is recommended though to hear their full potential. With the apple dongle (lightning) I am at 90% to get decent colume. On the BTR7 (balanced and single ended) I barely reach 50%.

Are they truly Magic ones?
I will leave the good folks of Aful to explain further how their design works. At first I thought there was no vent for the tube but it was barely visible.

The design reminds me of full range single driver speakers with their internal maze like design for their cabinets. There might be some differences or I may be mistaken altogether, but the overall effect is similar: open sound, respectable bass but still not as impactful as a well implented Dynamic Driver.


Verdict:
An easy recommendation for me and looking forward to the Cantor once it is released. Well done!

The Aful MagicOne will be released on 11.11, with an SRP of $139.99
