7Hertz or 7Hz is one of the audio companies that has its paradigm shift moments in the audio landscape in 2021. If you are a long timer in the audio enthusiast scene, who will ever forget their first product, the 7Hz Timeless which was considered as the gamechanger of the planar IEM market and a dual dynamic driver basshead-favoured set, the LEGATO. To be honest, I only have a few product reviews on 7Hz items that I've published so far and this content will be a third one.

As a long time audio enthusiast, SHOZY is a familiar audio brand to me as I'm acquainted with their previous collaboration with Advanced AcousticWerkes which is a Singaporean audio brand on their HIBIKI models.

Like its original heritage, this set seems to follow its design language but with some slight...

To think that the first set that I have tested from DUNU was actually the Falcon C and in this review, I got the latest variant of the said...

Mino has many meanings in Japanese language, it means either large bodies of water like sea or ocean, fruity or beautiful. It also pertains to a traditional straw raincoat in pre-modern Japan that we usually see in taiga drama series on TV shows and samurai movies. It's quite a rarity that I will do a review on a TWS (True Wireless Stereo) product. The last time I did a review on TWS was 2 years ago and to be honest, I find it pleasant to use as I can carry it anywhere.

Oi! mates, I would like to present another product review article for this month and this one is from ZIIGAAT. I previously did a product review on this audio brand and in my opinion, I find it quite a performer for its price as it is also quite a budget-friendly one that gives a good sound quality. If you are curious about what the word ZIIGAAT means as it sounds more like a random salad letter but there's a meaning to this. It means Zero-in on Ideas, Innovate, Growth and Achieve All Together (it is quite a wordy one) and it seems that it is also...
