  1. ADVANCED Accessport

    5.00 star(s)
    Introduction Today we’ll be reviewing a interesting offering by Advanced Sound recently being crowd funded through various crowdfunding sites like kickstarter. The Accessport is a Lightning/ USB-C powered DAC/Amp meant for mobile users to up their music game on the go. In this review, I will be going to take you through the lightning version as it is paired daily with my Iphone 7 Plus, after receiving it almost 2 months ago. Before I continue, this review is not paid as I backed this project myself through Kickstarter and all comments are of my own...
  2. ORIVETI BASIC - Whole Aluminium Body, High Fidelity, Cable Detachable, In-Ear Headphones (Matt Black)

    4.00 star(s)
    Introduction In this review, I will be providing my unbiased review and honest opinion about the Oriveti BASIC. Woah wait, why would a company brand their earphones as basic? Is it too demeaning, putting off users who are looking for more high-end earphones? Hmm, maybe not. In fact, there are only two models from Oriveti, the New Primacy and Basic, thus branding this IEM as BASIC is just to distinguish it from its higher end brother, the New Primacy. So the BASIC is a single dynamic driver IEM compared to the hybrid New Primacy and some may ask...
  3. Brainwavz B200

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Today we’re going to look at the new flagship Brainwavz B200 Dual Armature earphones. This pair is the new king of the Brainwavz BA series, with two other IEMs in the series, namely the B100 and B150. The B200 is also the highest priced at $277 SGD at the time of writing on their website. Some consider this a revival of the popular Brainwavz B2 dual BA IEM, however i have not heard it thus i can't make any comparison to it. Just how would this flagship fare? Let's find out below. Basic Specifications (brainwavzaudio.com) Drivers : Dual...
  4. HiLisening MaGaosi Newest High end Detachable Design K3 In-Ear HiFi Earphone 1 Dynamic and 2 BA 3-way Hybrid Earbud Sport Detach Earhooks Headset Head

    4.50 star(s)
      Introduction   Having owned the earphone for more than 2 months, this pair of earphones have been thoroughly burned in for over 100+ hours and used on my commute to work as well as while i study. This review is kinda late as the K3 Pros have been released. Nevertheless, i would share my thoughts about this IEM and my likes and dislikes about it.   Magaosi has been on the Chi-fi scene for awhile now, offering the BK-50’s and the K1 hybrid IEMs. The K1’s has been quite a hit, but faced with qc issues and subsequently losing its popularity. With...
  5. Brainwavz BLU-Delta Bluetooth Earbud Wireless Noise Isolating Headphones

    4.00 star(s)
      Introduction Based on the very successful Delta earphones previously, Brainwavz has come up with a second version of the Delta’s, now upgraded with Bluetooth 4.1 connectivity. As these are not meant for sports, these will be aimed at the growing users of mobile devices without the standard 3.5mm ports.    .     Unboxing Boxing the Brainwavz Delta was a pleasure, being encased in a small box with a picture of how the Delta’s look like on the front and details of the accessories provided at the side and at the back of the casing. Opening it...

  7. Brainwavz M100 IEM Noise Isolating Earphones with Remote & Microphone Headset For iPhone iPad, iPod & Android Devices

    3.00 star(s)
      Before I begin, I would like to thank Brainwavz and Pandora for sending me this review sample for my honest comments and unbiased feedback.        Packaging, Package Contents These were sent to me with the retail packaging and a drawback was that I couldn’t view the earphones through it, usually on retail boxes there would be a flap, or a transparent window to show how aesthetically pleasing the earphones would look, however in this case, I had to wait till I opened it to see how it looked like. This may be a turn off to customers in retail...
  8. Jaybird - Freedom F5 In-Ear Wireless Headphones - Carbon

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with Jaybird in any way, and this unit was borrowed from a friend. This review would be my honest opinion about this product.         Here goes:   I previously owned a pair of Jaybird Bluebuds X and after it died on me, I was on a lookout for another pair of Bluetooth earphones for use during my workout sessions. Without a high budget, I dismissed the idea of these sexy earphones and looked further for a pair of cheaper ones within my budget of 100 dollars. Fortunately for me, a friend agreed to lend me a pair...
  9. Brainwavz Krudul Duo Earphone Storage Management System Hanger

    4.50 star(s)
    Before i begin, i would love to thank Pandora and Brainwavz for the chance to review this product. I am not in any way affiliated with Brainwavz and this is my honest opinion on the product.                 Overview   Before this, there was the Hengja, the Hooka, the Truss. All those were of fantastic build quality and being all metal, built like a tank. The products mentioned above were all catered to the headphone lovers but this product is ideal for the lovers of Earphones, Earbuds and anything with wires. Similarly built entirely from...
  10. Brainwavz Hooka

    4.50 star(s)
      Before I begin, I would like to thank Pandora and Brainwavz for providing me with a sample unit for this review. I’ve used this headphone hanger for over 2 months now and this review would just be my honest opinion on the hanger over this period of time. I would not go into the specifications as there are many previous reviews which covered it already.      Pros   1.     Construction -       These are no doubt built to last. They would probably outlast your current headphones or the next few headphones you have. Built out of solid...
  11. FiiO EM3 Open Earbud Earphones with In-Line Microphone (Black)

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro     First and foremost, I would like to thank Fiio for this review unit from a reviewer application on Head-Fi where they were looking for 20 reviewers! Luckily for me, snagged a spot and received a review unit in exchange for my honest opinion and review of these earbuds.   Probably the most popular earbuds in the market are the Apple EarPods, where most non audio enthusiast users just use them for everyday use. Users who seek to upgrade from that pair of EarPods would normally seek to purchase In-Ear Monitors(IEMs), not Earbuds. Why...
  12. Brainwavz XFIT XF-200 In-Ear Sport Monitors

    3.50 star(s)
    First of all, I would like to thank Brainwavz Audio and Pandora for the review unit which I would now review objectively without any biases. I used to own the M2’s from Brainwavz and after that pair died on me, I'm ready to give Brainwavz another shot. I must say I have enjoyed the M2’s thoroughly though   For this review, I have tested this IEM over the course of three weeks, and taking it on a trip with me overseas where I used it while sleeping, on noisy public transports, and doing multiple short workouts.       Intro So these are the...
  13. Fischer Audio Omega Twin

    4.50 star(s)
    For starters, I would like to thank Fischer Audio Singapore and Royston for the very warm hospitality and for the chance to review this pair of earphones. These are my honest opinion on these pair of earphones and will be unbiased in whatever way.       Intro   The Fischer Audio ‘Twin’ from the Omega series is a Dual dynamic driver pair of earphones with 7mm and 9mm drivers. They can be only worn over the ear and has a very low profile and sit mostly flush with the ear. They are constructed in a solid plastic housing with slightly translucent...
  14. Beyerdynamic MXP 50 iE In-Ear Headphones with In-Line Mic (Black)

    4.00 star(s)
    OK, so this is a budget offering from Beyerdynamic, saw this on sale on the local Jaben site and decided to give it go!    It was packaged in a neat, small box, with magnetic opening to a window to get a glimpse of what you are buying. Really nice touch to it.       Build Quality - I would say these are decent for its price, It has a full plastic build, greyish/gun-metal in colour. The shells are fairly small and are touted to be 'Ergonomic' by Beyer. They also have fairly thin cables and terminates to a L plug which I prefer to the normal...
  15. LEAR LHF-AE1d hybrid fit earphones

    4.50 star(s)
    Hi Head-fi,   I would like to thank Tatco Ma for providing me with this set of earphones in exchange for my honest opinion. Just for disclaimers, I'm not one with golden ears or one that can distinguish sound waves from one another, I listen to generally quite a wide range of music, and I will let you know how this earpiece fare with my preference of music.   I will not be going through the technical specifications of these earphones as it can be viewed from their website, other than it being one with Universal Fit Mould, 10mm DYNAMIC driver and...
