I never tried the original T2 in it's hayday, I remember people taping up the vent for more bass and I figured anything that needed modding wasn't worth spending your money on. Linsoul used the wrong graph on the purchase page, and the folks that got a pair didn't exactly have raving things to say.. But I try them and I think the bass is awesome, sub-bass is not only audible but incredibly detailed, and when I raise the volume the bass stays balanced The treble is also a class act, it's alot better than expected, the little DD tweets like an...

Did you read the pros and cons? These are the OPPOSITE of smooth and enjoyable sounding. Konoka graphs like it doesn't have a nozzle filter. There was minimal effort put into making these sound good. The natural thing to do after realizing you'll never want to listen to these ever again, is mod your Konoka. Modding these is so easy and I've seen countless people do it already. You can take literally any filter from any iem (Tin C2 in my case) and use it to improve the sound. I took the black tuning mesh and placed it under the original nozzle...

QKZ is a company KNOWN for imitating brands like KZ, copying their iems and selling their own ripoff version. They have been doing this for years now. The QKZ x HBB Khan seems to be nothing more than a Crinacle Truthear Zero copy. The HBB Khan has the same huge nozzle, nozzle mesh, the same drivers and even the same exact crossover board as the Crinacle Truthear Zero.. The only difference is the bass is increased on the Khan. Increasing the bass came at the cost of lowering the upper mids. This is the so-called "seesaw" effect and it's why...

Many have asked, what's the best affordable single DD iem? Some would say Olina, others would say Aria, i would say HE01, but recently a fourth DD has joined the conversation. Out of the box, with the included eartips, nothing about these sounded impressive. The low-end wasn't all that engaging, the treble sounded somewhat subdued and the upper mids were shouty at higher volumes. Spring tips made these too bright sounding for me. I tried some wide-bore KBEAR 10 eartips and the results were pretty astonishing. The improvements were night and...

After reading all the hype and seeing some graphs, i bought an ESX expecting them to be the best KZ yet. NOPE, major disappointment. mids sound unnatural, treble is mediocre, bass is fun and that's about it. These are arguably just a worse DQ6S, both have a similar sound signature only ESX is more V shape, DQ6S is more balanced, without the upper mids peaks. I see absolutely NO reason to buy this when the CRA and DQ6S exist. The CRA has better treble details and similarly deep-bass. One thing that really concerns me is the appearant differences...

After a supposed 5 years of development, TRN has released their first electrostatic iem. It's an obvious mockery of DUNU's EST112, BAX even uses the exact same Sonion EST65DA01 dual-tweeter unit used in the DUNU, only the TRN is $200 cheaper. Regarding it's internals, It's two-way frequency division, the EST is a genuine Sonion unit and the back vents are all real. As for sound: When i first put these in my ears, i was greeted with what sounded like plastic cups getting crushed. My pair has TERRIBLE driver flex on both sides.. When i...

Arriving in standard KZ packaging, initial inspection finds a rather nice included SPC cable, it's unlike any of the stock braided brown/silver KZ cables we've seen before, the cabling below the Y split is flattish, making these tangle and knot resistant. The thinner cabling above the Y split has a sorta rifling texture to it that also makes it tangle and knot resistant, I've only seen this type of cabling on some my Sony earphones. These arrive with a set of these thin white tips that I couldn't get a very good seal with so i opted for some...

Disclaimer: I was sent the HE01 from Whizzer for the purpose of review. All opinions are my own. I have no affiliation with the brand or company. The Whizzer HE01 arrive in a rather substantial packaging, priced at $80, there is a heft and a feeling of quality, maybe it's just the hi-res sticker. Venturing inside i find the earphones themselves, an envelope with papers/warranty, then there's a cylindrical aluminum case with a set of Easytips reference tips and a set of Easytips vocal tips inside. Lastly there's the 4-core "5N OFC" (oxygen free...

The NS9 arrive in your typical BGVP package, a compact box with 4 different types of tips for you to pick from, 3 pairs of "bass" tips, 3 pairs of "vocal" tips a pair of good quality foam tips and the pre-applied wide bore tips. Trying out all the tips, i find the pre-applied wide bore tips to sound the best as they seem to improve the bass just slightly. Also in the box is a hard shell case, a very nice 4-core SPC cable, velcro strap, warranty info, and a small plastic container with 2 interchangeable "tuning filters" to try. Cracking open the...

Let's take a look at the frequency graph: (measurements made using an IEC711 Occluded Ear Simulator) The bass on the TA1 is great in my opinion, it has good weight to it and is in balance with the rest of the sound signature, i didn't feel as though the midbass was too much or that the sub bass was lacking oomf. The mids sounds good, it is for the most part natural with nothing obvious that needs correcting, however i did prefer the the sound when i decreased the 1.6khz by a few dB.. and increased the 6.3khz by a few dB... let's talk about the...

The Audbos p4 have been my daily driver for around 5 months and have since showed the test of time, being tossed in bookbags, crammed in my pockets even surviving drop after drop I am thoroughly surprised they haven't kicked the bucket entirely! There is a reason however as to why I continue to have these Monitors by my side and it's simply due to it's fantastic sound performance for the money. These Monitors were purchased with my own money on AliExpress for a measly 78$ (down from 211$). Yes 78$ for quad balanced armatures, leather case and all...
