Right time to the full review of the BQEYZ Spring 2. listen to them now for a couple of days now. “Non” stop without using any other IEM’s in between like I always try to do to give you unbiased or cloud my brain and ears by another IEM. Packing a BA, 13mm bionic diaphragm dynamic driver, 9 layers of nano piezoelectric ceramics. I had little issue at first finding the right size of tips to get a proper seal. but after a while looking into my watch box. I landed on Penon Liquer Black in a M size. Where I normally have to grab a S. It seems these are gonna work better in a shallow fit then a Deep fit the shell doesn't really allow the deep fit to happen. Okay let's jump a little deeper shall we.
The Spring 2 was submitted by BQEYZ for review. This doesn’t mean i’m not objective about but always say it when something comes in by the Brands themselves.
Specs:
Driver Config: 9-layers piezoelectric ceramic sheet + 13mm Bionic diaphragm dynamic driver + 1 balanced armature
Impedance: 32 Ω
Sensitivity: 110dB±3dB (@1k)
Frequency response: 7-40kHz
Earphone single weight: 13.3g±5g
Sources Tips and chain of sources i used.
Source: M11plus or KA17 and my Phone.
Tips: Stock tips (reference) Divinus Veltes, Penon Liqueurs Black.
Cables: i was going back and forth from their stock cable to a Xinhs upgrade cable in 4.4.
Playback was local files or Tidal.
Tonality: I felt like it was more of a W shape with the emphasis on the Mid bass and the highs then the sub bass. The DD was nice and controlled. The Piezo unit I had to get really used to hadn't heard much. Outside the GK10s left a bitter taste in my mouth to be honest. But this has been depleted by the Springs. The Ba seems to jump just fine.
Bass: Well the focus is laid up on the mid bass in this set which gives a guide a lot of warmth into the lower mids. What makes the Male vocals get their organic feeling back. I found that the bleeding is quite minimal. Even in my little envelope test that I do both with a bass and acoustic guitar the decay and attack were average, not the speediest I have heard so far. But still good enough. Wished it had it a little more to be honest the sub bass lacks that little humph.
Mids: the lower mids are a little lifted but it was quite okay they didn’t overshadow other notes. Within the mix of music some might like that the lower mids are a bit lifted some don’t. The layering of instruments and separation are good. That is where the Piezo unit comes in and helps in that case. Male vocals got the organic feeling back. Female vocals are good but sometimes they were a little too much especially if they were in the higher octaves. But overall the Vocals were very accurate and details in the presentation were a little forwarded that some might not like that much.
Treble: This is the domain of which Piezo is in control. They are very detailed and clean. A poor recording is gonna be punished by it. It might be for some be fatigue after a while it jumps out quite a bit. But for me it felt more analytical sound wise than a fatiguing sound. I know for experience in the loudspeaker work a Piezo unit can be Sharp and Shouty as well. I think that BQEYZ has done a good job here to find the middle group between detail and shoutiness.
Timbre: The ba timbre is okay, nothing bad, The Piezo is something you have to get used to if you haven’t heard a piezo before. Just gonna give a quick example you will know little buzzers that are being used well those are Piezo’s as well. I have to say they did a wonderful job on staying on the safe side. The 13mm DD well is good organic just like in their Autumn it scales well with current you give it but then the Piezo shows his sharpness and starts to overpower the other unit.
Technicals and Soundstage: the soundstage has decent depth and height. The richness is really gonna depend on the recording of the overall technicals i have to say above average. Some notes were a little light and some others were a little over emphasized. That's the fine line you walk by using a Piezo element. Once you find the right volume you're golden and you need to get used to it.
All said and done if you have a library that heavily leans on mid bass and needs that sparkles back on top this is till a very good set even if it is an older one. We as a community have a tendency to jump from hype to hype and and some iem’s get lost in the mix due to a multitude of reasons. is the lack of exposure to your favorite (guy/girl) who said that they are “bad”. The Spring 2 comes in at around 150 euro ish. If you want a sound that is somewhere in between Fun and Analytical I think this holds its own like no questions asked. I enjoyed my time with the set. It is a keeper for me. It goes next to their Autumn in my watch box. It’s still a good one to have in your collection but beware the Piezo driver can really really wear on you if you don't set it up in the right way.
