Review unit sent by T-Force. T Force Yuan Li is the first set from T Force. I initially did not have any expectation on this set. Though, it actually blew me away with the tuning and how great it is. This set belongs to a few rare IEMs that I actually adore. Something that is very easy to listen and carry the emotion that I like it to have. Source: SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK2 + iFi xCan Signature: Balance bass: A- Nimble with density. Doesn't dig into the sub but has enough overall bass to be punchy and fun. This is not a basshead set either as I...

Review unit sent by SeeAudio. Bravery was a bit bright on the first listen and I realized that I need to change the tips to be smaller and hence deeper fit. That solved a lot of issues I had in the first place. Now, all the listening has been done with the small xelastec. Being a brighter through apple dongle and darker through SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK2 + iFi xCan. Bravery I could describe it as a neutral with bass boost. Probably an easy one of the recommendations at this price range. Source: SMSL Sanskrit 10th MK2 + iFi xCan Signature: Neutral...

p/s: I've received Lyra Mini for an honest review and sent back to them. I have a few quirks with this set that I didn't receive the proper foam for it and I decided to use my own. The full foam can be a bit too dark and the donut sometimes can be a bit peaky. Hence, I'm using a fully fledge desktop setup that I have to counter the bright signature that this set has.

Disclaimer I received this unit as a tour unit from @Zachik . Special thanks to him for making this happened. Introduction Etymotic is one of my favorite brands which easily has a consistent sound quality from what I experienced with them. Especially with the 2 of my ER2SE and 1 ER4SR. This time Etymotic tried branching its capabilities with multi-BA. If you ask me personally, I'm leaning for them to keep the R&D for their ER2 DD into a flagship tier. Enough with rambling, let's try digging on how EVO is doing. Signature Neutral Dark (it is not...

a DD marvel but not this time Disclaimer: This demo unit is a loaner unit from Cayin; AndyKong and I personally add a Tanchjim Filter on the grill as I find it too bright for my preference. tl;dr One of the most resolving DD in the market with a caveat of its tonality. Too bright for my taste and didn’t work well with most genres. However, foam/filter could help a little bit even though it isn't enough to cover up some random peaks. The Fantasy DD is very competent on delivering bass texturing and impact. Imaging and layering are also impressive...

Disclaimer I received the KS1 from KBear for an exchange of my honest opinion. Introduction This is a budget single DD set from KBear to compete at $20 mark. There are a few $20 amazing DD's in the market lately, especially the new Tanchjim Tanya and the Final E500. The former went toward bassy neutral and the latter is balanced neutral. I chose “neutral” to mention that there are no weird peaks I can hear while listening to it. KBear on the other hand went for a V Shape iem. This time I will change my review style. I will bring Tanya and E500...

Disclaimer: The Moondrop Blessing 2 is a demo unit provided by Stars Picker Audio Library, an audio cafe located at Kota Damansara, Malaysia. They did send this out for an exchange of a review. The review has no bias and I try to be as critical as possible. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/StarsPickerAudio/ Looks: Medium sized IEM with a bigger than average nozzle. I don't have a single problem fitting the IEM but yours might vary. It comes with a carrying case and a set of eartips. The presentation is excellent in my opinion. The build quality of...

the Polite Beauty entry Disclaimer: This set is provided to me for a review. I will send the set back to them and my view is literally non-bias. Also keep your mind straight that this set only costs $50 and my judgement can be a bit less “wow” since I will keep this review neutral without price bias. However, I will try my best to bring some iems those are in the price bracket or even a little bit more to tackle the view even better. Ramble: DD “burn-in” is somewhat a controversial topic. For that note, I ran at least 10 hour before listening to...

Disclaimer: This demo unit is a loaner unit from Stars Picker (Malaysia), we agreed to exchange the unit for a review by holding a full amount of cost. The demo comes without a full package which means it doesn't have the official box, tips, etc. Just an IEM and its cable. FB: https://www.facebook.com/StarsPickerAudio/ Check em out! tl;dr Very balanced tuning with a competent resolution from lows to the highest but a little caveat at the lowest region (could be lower than 60Hz, unfortunately I have no measurement rig). Introduction The tuning of...

Before I start my review, thanks to AndyKong for sending me YB04 with N6ii for a review! Introduction Build and comfort: These are outstanding! Metal build I believe. This set is really comfortable and it comes with many tips; balance, vocal, bass, double flange, and foam. Sound signature: Interesting tuning. This is almost like etymotic reference tuning. I will give two different sources here; apple dongle and n6ii pairing Apple dongle: The bass is lean. The mids is smooth and lush. Highs are well extended and really musical. N6ii 3.5mm T01...

OVERVIEW Build and comfort: These are outstanding! One of the best comforts no doubt. Sound signature: Smooth but not dark at all. Bass is flat with bump on midbass. Mids are excellent. Highs are good with a decent amount of extension. This is the IEM that will give soul to the vocals. Seriously, easily one of the top in my list! I LOVE THE VOCALS ON THIS! I like how it sounds tbh, basically for my playlist, Kpower Vocals, Dalkom Cafe etc. It is like a smooth/vinyl like sound. DETAILS Bass: Focusing on midbass with decent amount of subbass. Both...

I'm a simple man I write what I hear and not gonna use any artistic terms This is... a Chord Hugo 2. From the image you can see I placed it on a XSabre DAC. What about my past experience: I have tons of Headphones and Dac Amp experiences including TOTL eg. XSabre DAC, Mojo, ifi BL, ifi iCan, Heron 5..etc HD800, TH600, HD6xx, 400i, Elear, TH900..etc OK enough with my experience! This review is gonna be short and straight to the point.
