First of all I would like to give a big shout out to Audio Geek india for letting me have a pleasure of listening to Canpur CP622B as part of the Audio Geek India Tour. Audio Geek you Rock!!
This review is about a Summitfi audio gear that is not only obviously capable of putting a big hole in your pocket but also make you wonder how good these tiny(huge for an iem) acrylic shells should be for a mammoth price tag of 3500 US dollars. Thats we are surely going to explore here.
Introduction
CANPUR is a Dutch brand having its roots deep seated in Netherlands. Its a boutique IEM brand that aims to deliver an engulfing sonic experience with aesthetics that calls for sheer luxury.
CP622B shell is made completely of high quality acrylic. I must say the shells are huge but it fits and grips ears so well that it doesn't feel like coming out on its own.
The face plate design is gorgeous. Sometimes it reminds me of a galaxy and sometimes it reminds me of flair. It sparkles beautifully when you move it against any illumination.
CANPUR CP622B features a sophisticated 4-tube 5-way frequency division design, ensuring a delicate and clear connection with smooth transitions.
The CP622b packs 6 BAs, 2 ESTs and 2 BCDs on each side. You are getting a pack of 10 high quality drivers for your each ear.
Sound expressions
I dont know if i should put CP622B in a balanced IEM category or a bassy one. Thats because it has that ample amount of bass and punch that is so apt to have and feel in music. That too without any bleeding in other sections of the music. That being said it has excesptionally Great detail retrieval and without ever becoming sibilant. This i can vouch coz i did tested it with sibilant track and it handled it so well.
The punch of the bass is full of authority.
It has Very good fit and isolation as i tried it couple of times while commuting and it could easily kept outside noise to the minimum.
The Staging capability is also very good with very good depth. It presents music in more of holographic bubble around the head where music nuances can be picked.
Mids
I am so impressed with the Mids of CP622B. It has got Clean and refined vocals reminded me of LCD-5 at the 1st impression. The throw of the vocalist is very detailed, expressive, full of emotions and warm.
Very rarely but yes sometimes vocals feel slightly recessed but otherwise perfectly gel up with music
electric guitar has a very good tonality and gives you a Sweet melodical experience.
Acoustic guitar sound is vibrant and have its perfect amount bassy warmth in it that makes feel like u are seeing someone playing it right in front of you. It has very good amount of air around the strings and you can feel those vibrations happening inside the guitar. One of the notable quality of CP622B is its
Very good transparency. Everything is listenable and available at your disposal.
Bass
Bass is extremely good. I mean really really good. Its tight, punchy and precise. The quanity of the bass sourrounds the music very well and accurately. The bass line and its extensions outlines are so visible that u can feel the waves of it. It has got a very
Very good rumble . The sound of bass string plucking, all the taps on a drum and other percussions can be felt so lively like u are sitting in a lounge with live music playing for you. Its that good and palpable.
One thing i noticed that bass doesn't go that low that could shake your ear drums but have more than enough punch and bass impact that u will remain glued to this marvel of an iem
It has beautiful presentation of background filling music and automatically takes your conscience to the things going on in the background
Treble
Top notch extensions with such a perfect decay that could really visualise the little nuances happening in front if you.
I was amazed to see how well it was handling sibilance. Listened couple of songs in which sibilance in female vocalist was quite prominent but not when it was coming out from the CP622B nozzles.

Canpur CP622B Review
Disclaimer
Canpur CP622B has been provided to me as a part of review tour managed by Audio Geek, India. I have no affiliations with Canpur Audio or related to them in any way. All my impressions are purely based on my listening capabilities and gears used. I thank Audio Geek, India for providing my this IEM for audition.
About
Canpur is a Netherlands based company, established in the year 2019. CP622B is their present flagship model, which is what in my hands at present. CP622B’s driver configuration goes as 6 balanced armature drivers, 2 electrostatic drives and 2 bone conduction drivers. Rated impedance is 10 ohm at 1khz and sensitivity at 100db at 1khz. It’s relatively easier to drive IEM, but, as with any TOTL IEM, do scale with better equipment. It is priced at 3,499 USD.
Sources Used
I had used my DAP, iBasso DX260, on HG for the review purposes. Tips used were Divinus Velvet Wide and two upgrade cables in Verus Lavender 6 and Effect Audio Fusion 1.
Sound Impressions
Right of the box, CP622B sounds very technical with very good performance all through the spectrum, with no dips. Bass is very good overall. Sub bass rumble is very good, though it doesn’t go deeper as RN6, but still very good on its own. Mid bass has very good slam too. Overall, a very good bass performance. As said, I would have liked if sub bass goes even deeper than what it is.
Mids are clean, natural and detailed. Bass doesn’t overpower mids. Vocals have good note thickness, making them natural. Female vocals have very good energy to them and extend very well. Mids lack in engagement slightly, and lower mids are slightly recessed.
Technicalities are excellent. Soundstage has very good width and depth. Instrument separation is excellent with very good space between instruments. Imaging is very precise. Cymbals are crisp. Treble has very good extensions and is sparkly and airy. Treble isn’t fatiguing while having excellent extensions. Details retrieval capabilities are top notch. It’s a very resolving IEM.
Even though the stock cable, provided by Eletech Audio is an excellent one, CP622B do need a cable swap to finetune it a little and to get an overall improvement. I have two upgrade cables with me, Verus Audio Lavender 6 cable and the other being Effect Audio Fusion 1 cable.
w/ Verus Audio Lavender 6 Cable
Verus Audio Lavender 6 cable is made of bespoke 7N OCC gold plated copper, long crystal gold plated silver, OFC silver plated copper in 24.6 AWG core, 24.3 AWG shield in a flexible insulation, retailing at 635 USD.
Swapping stock cable with the Lavender 6 cable, indeed brought few welcome changes, bass now reaches deeper than what it does on stock. Mids sound slightly thicker and now sound more energetic and engaging. Female vocals sound natural, engaging and energetic. Soundstage too found an improvement, CP622B now sounds slightly wider and deeper than the stock cable. Details are now presented with more clarity. Treble has excellent extensions and sound more spacious and engaging. Dynamics and resolution too improved upon the stock. CP622B really shines with this cable with an all-round improvement in all departments.
w/ Effect Audio Fusion 1 Cable
Effect Audio Fusion 1 cable is made of selected premium UPOCC material gold plated silver litz, pure silver litz and pure copper litz hybrid, proprietary tri-strata layering fusion mix. This cable retails at 999 USD.
EA Fusion 1 cable further enhances CP622B in all areas. Bass now has better control and texture with deeper reach. Mids have better presentation for me so far when paired with Fusion 1 cable. Mids have better clarity, texture and definition. Slightly U-shaped, but excellent mids overall with Fusion 1. Male vocals are natural and clean. Female vocals have excellent sparkle while being natural. Treble, is very sparkly and energetic with very good air. Treble has excellent details. Soundstage has excellent width and depth, with precise imaging and excellent instrument separation. Technicalities are top notch, with excellent detail retrieval capabilities and dynamic range. Cymbals are crisp and clear. I really liked how this pair sounds, I recommend this cable for CP622B, as it elevates the IEM in an excellent way.
With stock cable and Verus Audio Lavender 6, I found mids to lack resolution by a little, but Effect Audio Fusion 1 cable changed everything and finally CP622B performed at its best.
Comparison
With FiR Audio Radon 6
Radon 6 is also a flagship level offering from FiR Audio, which I happen to own and love it. RN6 utilizes 1 DD, 4 BA and 1 EST drivers. On direct comparison with CP622B, I found both to be highly resolving and technical sets, differing in few areas. RN6’s bass has deeper reach and is more visceral of the two. RN6 also has slightly forward and engaging mids compared to CP622B and even in upper mids and treble, RN6 has more bite and sparkle of the two. CP622B, though has wider stage and equal depth. Both IEMs perform excellently in technicalities, dynamics, imaging and instrument separation, and I found both on par. Detail retrieval is slightly better on CP622B. RN6, with its kinetic bass, wins you over in bass region, that doesn’t mean CP622B lacks in it, but it doesn’t go as deep as RN6 or as visceral as RN6. Can say both sets as complementary sets.
Verdict
Canpur CP622B is an excellent IEM, with great technicalities and resolution. It punches competitively for its asking price. It has punchy bass, slightly recessed and yet natural and resolving mids, energetic and yet non-fatiguing treble. It performs excellent all through the spectrum. For me, I wish its mids were little forward, which can be negated with a quick cable swap. Effect Audio Fusion 1 cable did the trick for me.

I'd like to thank AudioGeek for including me in the tour of this wonderful IEM. Canpur is a Boutique IEM brand from the Netherlands. This is the first time I'm trying something from them, and I must say that I'm mighty impressed by what the CP622b has to offer.
Introduction:
Given how much they've packed in on each side, the earpieces are huge. I haven't come across another IEM with such huge earpieces, barring ofcourse, the Audeze iSine and LCD series earphones. The CP622b packs 6 BAs, 2 ESTs and 2 BCDs on each side. That's a whopping 10 drivers per side with a 5-way crossover and their custom micro-inverter tube design. I personally had no issues in terms of fit or seal with these earpieces, but smaller ears are likely to struggle with the fit. They're not heavy per se, thanks to the acrylic shells. The faceplate design is quite elegant and doesn't appear to be too flashy.
The IEM comes with a bespoke 2 pin 7N 24 AWG OCC cable with 4.4mm BAL termination, which has been cryogenically treated and infused with Kevlar by Eletech. Hence, it is superior in terms of both sound and build quality, and, as one would expect, free of microphonics. The IEM comes with 2 sets of silicon eartips, grey and white. Of these 2, I preferred listening to the IEM with the white tips, but overall, I liked them best with SpinFit Omni.
Sound Quality:
The Canpur 622b is a basshead's dream. There is crazy rumble thanks to the 2 BCDs on each side and the slams are powerful. It has more presence in the sub bass region than the mid bass and it delivers excellence in terms of both bass quality and quantity.
The mids although a tad bit recessed in terms of presentation, sound organic and natural. There is good note weight and the IEM is capable of picking up the most subtle of nuances in the vocals, thereby, conveying the emotion in the artists' vocals beautifully.
The treble region again sounds natural. Treble is crisp and detailed but not too sharp or piercing, which is a good thing. There is a good amount of air, thus giving the sound a sense of spaciousness. Overall, the treble is inline with the rest of the frequencies, giving the IEM a neutral - warmish tonality with great amount of detail.
Technicalities:
The CP622b delivers holographic sound with a soundstage that is wide and tall. The layering and resolution is excellent with precise imaging and the ability to pick up the finest of details in a track. Technically this is one of the best IEMs I've heard till date.
Conclusion:
The CP622b is an absolute banger of an IEM that can truly be the endgame for an audiophile. The shells could be a problem for smaller ears, but once you're past that and the price barrier, this is a blissful in ear experience and the path to audio nirvana. Pair it with a capable source and it will mesmerise you with it's killer tonality and breath taking detail.
