  1. ZEN by DUNU

    5.00 star(s)
    This is not going to be a long detailed , rambling review. Being honest those that have reviewed the ZEN thus far I hold in high regard and couldn't possibly reach their high standards ! It's more of an emotional soliloquy about a product I like a hell of a lot. Like a rapper freestyling in one take with a bit of editing after the event. My love affair with "chi fi' started with the Dunu 2000j. I had bought the akg 3003 , at the time it was endgame. An expensive set that luckily I got at a discounted price from my local exchange store. I loved...
  2. KBEAR Believe

    4.00 star(s)
    Firstly , I bought the K Bear Believe with my own hard earned money. I have no affiliation with K Bear whatsoever .2020 started slowly it seemed the juice had run out on the Chi fi bandwagon . Mainly because of the pandemic.Towards the end of the year the wagon was moving at breakneck speed with great sets coming out seemingly every other day. Great tech innovations , cool designs we were spoilt for choice ! Under $200 became cluttered with much hyped end gamers. Riding at the front of the hype train was K Bear Believe . Sporting a pure beryllium...
  3. DUNU DK-2001

    5.00 star(s)
    Sometimes it's difficult to review things that you love. All the analysis can't always portray the emotional connection you have with things. This is not about graphs or breakdowns. This is a very brief , emotive review ! If that's not your bag , please keep scrolling ! DUNU have been around in shape and form for some time now. Their excellent DK range which includes the 3001 pro and the 4001 have been rightly praised to the hilt by some of the best reviewers around. The Luna along with their equally excellent studio range ( SA3 and the SA6) have...
  4. Final Audio A4000

    4.50 star(s)
    First things first. I buy all my sets full price. i have not nearly reached the exalted position of getting gear for free.. So, in many ways my review comes from a consumerist angle.. I have no affiliation at all with Final Audio. Now that is cleared up let me begin. Final Audio are a Japanese company. I have been to Japan many times , I have always been impressed by their passion for music , attention to detail also their dedication for making quality products. Final Audio are known for making quality audio produce. I am fan of their E series , i...
  5. Tripowin TC-01

    4.50 star(s)
    Tripowin are known as makers of very decent cables. Having not heard the well received TP10 I knew very little about Tripowin as makers of iems. Just before Christmas I saw a review by a well known reviewer (bad guy) on you tube looked them up on Amazon, six days later they arrived. I was surprised how cool and sturdy they looked. The Tripowin utilises a single dynamic driver. Not bucking the current trend. So I expected cohesiveness alongside speed and good tonal range. They came in a modest box. The cable looked decent for the price. Stock tips...
  6. FiiO FH3

    5.00 star(s)
    Firstly. Apologies for my jumbled mess of a review. In future, I will have to get some esteemed reviewer to do an edit for me. Stick with it anyways... The Fiio fh7 was my first venture into chi fi land. They have a special place in my collection. 30 plus Iems later, here comes the fiio fh3. The hype is real for once, it is fully justified. The only qualm I have about the build is the heavy cable! The shells are reminiscent of the fh7 with fiio distinctive wave pattern, it lacks the gold trimming and feel but, they fit well, without any driver flex...
  7. TRI I3

    5.00 star(s)
    I have no affiliation with K Bear or Kinboofi. I bought these from Amazon with my hard earned money. This is my first review for head fi. I have to apologize for lack of audiophile terminology and ultra detailed reviewing etiquette... I have been collecting Iems for over a decade now. I'm a dj. A reasonably successful one. I have been involved in music in one way or the other since I was 13.I have been kinda quiet recently because of you know what! I have been in the game for 25 plus years. I have a deep love and passion for music of all kinds.So...
