New Head-Fier
For Moondrop U-2 in Earbuds
Pros: Impressive bass for an Earbud
Nice midrange
Some nice treble details
Very lightweight so ear
Cons: Cable can tangle very easily around the 'paper clips'
Earbuds are very subjective to your ear placement
Treble does have some peaky regions so might not suit everyone

500+ Head-Fier
For BQEYZ Cloud in Universal Fit
Pros: ● The shells are quite solid and yet light as this is probably the most compact shell size among the BQEYZ models that I've tested so far.
● The implementation of passive radiator drivers really works that affects the overall sound quality.
● Like almost all BQEYZ products, it is pretty well-accessorised.
● Good quality stock cable
● Three choices of ear tips to choose from.
● Availability of two colours for preferred aesthetics choice.
● A clear, neutral sound profile.
● Sufficient bass presence.
● Clear, energetic and yet ample rich midrange.
● Excellent on tracking to some vocals (some tenors, countertenors, mezzo-sopranos and sopranos) and instruments (woodwinds and strings).
● The treble response has sufficient shimmer, sparkling and quite airy for a single DD with passive radiator module.
● Overall, it has excellent technical capabilities like most BQEYZ sets.
Cons: ● Definitely not for a basshead.
● If you are an audio enthusiast looking for a set with more coloured and fun tuning, this set isn't the one you are seeking for.
● Treble-sensitive folk might find this set a bit intense on their treble response threshold.

Pros: > Highly competent technical performance

500+ Head-Fier
For KEFINE DELCI in Universal Fit
Pros: ● Affordable for its asking price
● While it has metal shell chassis, it still has the compactness and somehow, weighs fairly light
● Somehow, pretty well-accessorised as it has a good quality storage case and two types of ear tips to choose from.
● Quite easy to drive
● It has an ample warmth and musical tonality
● Relatively well-balanced bass response f
● Rich and smooth midrange presentation.
● All-rounder for vocals and instruments as almost they sound very natural yet engaging.
● Smooth and well-polished treble response
● Somehow, it has a capable technical capability for a single DD set.
Cons: ● Will not recommend this one to audio enthusiasts who prefer a neutral tuning and analytical technical performance.
● The treble air is rather modest.
● Wishing for a wider sound/speaker size and this set on the intimate side of a perceived spatial head room.

New Head-Fier
For Simgot Supermix 4 (1DD + 1BA + 1 Planar + 1 PZT) in Universal Fit
Pros: Pros:

Comfortable to wear
Above average isolation
Balanced U-shaped profile suitable for most music genres
Good technical performance, with standout imaging, layering, and soundstage
Maintains decent timbre and coherency despite multiple driver types
Smooth treble
Transparent midrange
Speedy bass with minimal bleed and satisfying sub-bass rumble
Cons: Very low impedance may be source-dependent
Upper mids could verge on being shouty when raised to higher volumes
Mid-bass lacks tinge of texturing
This review reflects my genuine impressions after a week of in-depth experience with the Simgot SuperMix4.

In my opinion, Simgot is not a brand that relies on stacking multiple drivers, aligning...

New Head-Fier
For AFUL Explorer in Universal Fit
Pros: Excellent build quality with lovely looking shell
Excellent bass / sub-bass from the dynamic drivers
Good balanced midrange ( other than one problem area )
Treble is very smooth - very easy to EQ for more 'sparkle' without sibilance
Cons: Female vocals might sound a bit muted
Shell might be a little large (and opinionated) for some

Possible the best hybrid IEM in the $100-$150 price range?​

With the Explorer, AFUL has seamlessly integrated the innovative single BA driver design of the Magic One, known for...

New Head-Fier
For ZIIGAAT Cincotres in Universal Fit
Pros: Great looks and build
Best warm neutral tuning conception
Massive insanely textured bass
High-quality saturation and distortion of bass notes and guitars
The mids are super neutral and come through very sweetly
High transparency and large amount of air
Treble is super detailed with excellent extension
The soundstage is insane, the different planes and instrument mapping are perfect
Cons: For me, no, for this price the absolute leader right now, if you like this kind of tuning, just take this set.

500+ Head-Fier
For Simgot EA500 LM in Universal Fit
Pros: ● Solidly constructed metal alloy chassis
● Smooth, glossy and buffed surface gives an elegant and classy look on its overall aesthetics.
● Its detachable tuning nozzles feature gives this set its tonal versatility.
● It has some good accessories included inside its packaging box.
● As I mentioned its detachable tuning nozzles system, SIMGOT offers three sound profiles with distinctive tuning curves on each other.
● The Red Ring Brass Nozzles have the most balanced sounding out there and also the most natural sounding out there as it has coherent bass response, sufficiently textured midrange presentation, then a smooth and well-polished treble presentation.
● The Red Ring Silver Nozzles have the clarity, more revealing and airy treble presentation.
● The Black Ring Silver Nozzles gives even more details and resolution on EA500LM with some caveats.
● It has a competent technical performance for a single DD set
● By any means, its asking price on this set is justifiable given its tonal performance.
Cons: ● Both Red Ring and Black Ring Tuning Nozzles’ tunings might be bothersome to some treble sensitive folk due to its metallic and shrill sound.
● The metal surface of its shell chassis is susceptible to nicks and scratches.
● Given that I considered its stock cable as a decent one but I expect more from a refined version, probably a tad thicker and resistant from entanglement.
● SIMGOT, please add more choices of ear tips.

+ Natural timbre
+ Dynamic and impactful bass
+ Great technicalities and transparency
+ Engaging mids and smooth treble
+ Spacious soundstage and imaging
+ Easy to drive and well made
+ High quality modular cable and plenty of accessories

Headphoneus Supremus
For TIN HIFI BUDS1 TWS Earphones in Wireless
Pros: The most crazy bass out of 11 other TINs I have reviewed
Perfect fitment as 4 grams each in weight
Small fitting, at the very opening of ear canal
Comes in your choice of red, white or blue
Waterproof sports design to IPX5
2 modes either game-mode, music-mode or transparency-mode, noise-reduction mode
Super low latency game-mode
5 hours play time per charge and 30 hours with continual case charges
Bluetooth 5.3
New oval design nozzles and subsequent oval silicone ear-tip design in three sizes
Never moves out of ear during normal sports activity, at least in my gym workouts
Smart Hall System: Magnetically activated union with past device, and subsequent off when case closed
Great timbre and note-weight from a 13mm composite PU+PEEK single full-range Dynamic Driver
Big additional stage authority due to heavy sonic footprint
Gets louder than you will ever need or could reasonably stand
Unique stage size helps propel smooth treble elements into position
Cons: Holds so much middle bass emphasis and lower midrange that pace is smeared
Has a great level of sub-bass yet due to being covered (by middle bass) only comes out to fight its way through when prominent
Bass head levels of bass a new departure for TINHIFI
This is a review of the new TIN HIFI BUDS1

I agree with you Dsnuts the H50 is an underrated IEM, I'll be looking more forward on reviews on the H60, and probably I will be eyeing or adding the H60 down the road, but I do love my H50

500+ Head-Fier
For iFi NEO iDSD 2 in Amp/DACs
Pros: MQA support
Bluetooth 5.4 support
Hi-power output allows almost every headphone out there to shine
Tons of connectivity options
Great low noise-matching circuitry for even the most sensitive IEMs
Cons: Price increase over original (Or is it just "inflation"?)
High-performing enough to have merited/benefitted from I2S integration
Disclaimer: I was loaned the iFi Neo iDSD 2 directly by iFi. (Many thanks again to Lawrance for the past 5 years or so of sharing “neat things” he thinks we might like!)
