  2. CVJ CSN

    4.00 star(s)
    The CSN comes with the same box, pouch , ear tips and cable as the lower priced CSA from CVJ. The hard cardboard box is nice and gives a premium feel to the unboxing experience. Build: Is a solid feeling light weight metal shell , six drivers per side 1DD - 5BA x2,. The CSN is comfortable for prolong usage even in extreme cases I tested for 8+ hours. The cable is a typical TRN, KBear, ect build not the best but far from the worst. Sound: Bass is clean and detailed in the Mid-Bass and natural , rapid and almost flat at times , the Sub-Bass is...
  3. Moondrop Nameless metal earbuds

    4.00 star(s)
    The MoonDrop Nameless comes in a simple yet very pretty box, some earpads and a nice pouch. Build quality is decent and even though they are all metal they do feel light to the touch. Sound is very neutral with a mild warmth and mostly nutral sound signature that has some very good clarity and soundstage. The highs are spot on and no harshness is detected. the mids are perfectly centered and bass is punchy but flat in its presentation. Conclusion: Not perfect but very refined for its price range, the nameless is comfortable, has a nice mature...
  4. Dudios Dubuds

    4.00 star(s)
    Build: Packaging is minimal and adequate, inside you get the buds the charging case / powerbank and a cable. The case is solid and the buds are nice and light to fit in the ear comfortable and for a long time. The unit has a 14.2mm dynamic driver probably the biggest I've used in this type before. Dubuds support SBC and AAC Bluetooth codes, has IPX4 water resistance good for working out and has touch controls. Sound: At the end of the day even with all its features sound is the most important thing about any audio product. Thankfully these...
  5. Dekoni Bulletz

    5.00 star(s)
    Whether or not you like foam or silicone , foam has some great advantages, issolation being one and comfort the other. Dekoni maker of some truly great pads also makes tips. The Bulletz IMO are some of the best foam tips I’ve ever used far more premium than any others in my collection of tips and more comfortable with some good durability. The Bulletz in two nozzle sizes and three sized small medium and large, they are also ones specifically for true wireless and for apples new air pods. So they more than likely have a type and size that will work...
  6. CVJ CSA IEM

    4.50 star(s)
    Packaging was surprisingly nice for a ultra budget IEM including even a pouch a decent cable and cable tie. Build: Its all resin/ plastic build looks and feels average in its class nothing to radical here. I do however the the carbon fiber look. the nozzle is also plastic, reminiscent of my ZST I first loved but these are far superior IMO. Sound: Bass: is very detailed and balanced, defiantly present but far from emphasized more leaning toward neutral. Mids: are also neutral and pushed forward a little more so with vocals making these superb...
  7. KBEAR Diamond i1

    4.50 star(s)
    Opening the packaging at first look you know its a premium product, KBEAR up its game each new product and the Diamond is defiantly a step above many competitors. Build Quality: Very well made and attractive the KBEAR is premium without the price tag. Its built like a tank so solid and it comes with enough accessories to keep most people happy. The body is on the larger size and while its is no problem for my medium size ears its not too comfortable for sleeping but very comfortable for long term usage. Sound: Bass: The Bass and Sub-Bass are...
  8. BGVP DX5

    4.00 star(s)
    Build: The BGVP DX5 are one of the most unique looking earbuds I have seen so far. Solid aluminum build with a matching MMCX cable with microphone and remote.. ending in a L-plug, that is also both made of same metal. The unit comes with a variety of pads and foam rings even earhooks something I've never seen in buds before. Also a very nice case is included , something I wished the DMS had come with. the smaller size fit my ears a little better than the others I have, when properly fit were comfortable for long usage. Sound: Bass: Is...
  9. Blon BL05

    3.50 star(s)
    The second coming of the OPPOTY or Driams dashed upon the rocks? Build: The build quality is a tad bit better here, kind a Westone looking shell all metal build in both gun metal and silver or white as they call it. The cable is still in that KZ /CCA realm of Meh it works. canvas pouch most people probably won't use and some okay cheap tips most will change immediately. its lightweight and still feels solid enough to last. the new shape is better in my ears than the older odd shaped BL03. IMO this isn't a upgrade from the BL03 this is a...
  10. ddHiFi TC35B USB Type-C USB-C DAC

    4.50 star(s)
    This was a good step up in sound quality and quantity of volume for such a tiny Micro DAC I was impressed. Comes in eco friendly packaging that is very nice looking to. The build quality is a 10 out of 10, so solid and light yet very premium looking and feels solid IMO. The device supports a remote with microphone too a big plus. Conclusion: Very simply put another great looking and useful product from ddHiFi. I doubt you will find a better or smaller alternative to the many dongle DAC's out now.
  11. Shuoer Singer

    3.50 star(s)
    Opening the box one sees a very nice case inside the Singer earphones and cable. in a side pouch one finds an adapter for the L shaped balanced 2.5mm plug. It includes a nice variety of tips from silicone, foam to natural rubber. Sound:Is a very irregular V shaped signature that can be very enjoyable with certain music. Depending on the filter , the treble has a very fast roll-off and also can be a bit spiky. mids are more recessed than the usual v shape yet the vocals are forward and clear. The Bass is monstrous with a thump and a almost angry...
  12. Timmkoo MP3 media player

    4.00 star(s)
    The Timmkoo is more than a MP3 player , it also has the ability to play videos , lossless files and has some useful apps too. Its running a closed system based on a Linux variant and while it does have Bluetooth it does not have a WiFi antenna or the ability for additional apps. Its a media player simple and portable. the Tmmkoo 4″ IPS display played video perfectly. There is no EQ setting and the player doesn’t need one it has a nice transparent quality the allows you to enjoy the earphones or headphone your using, it doe come with some earphones...
  13. Soundavo HP-DAC1

    4.50 star(s)
    I'm going to start off with the the usual .. This unit was provided for testing and review and as all my followers know I do not get influenced by this and I will not review a product I can't find something to like. The packaging was more than adequate and it was well protected for its journey here. Build: The HP-DAC1 has an impressive solid build and a intuitive design far beyond its price point. The box/ shell is not overly large and fits into my desktop setup very nice. The aluminum box has a simple yet pleasing look in a soft aluminum...
  14. KBEAR KB04

    4.00 star(s)
    Build and Comfort: Die-cast zinc-alloy shells of the KB04. and the design might look familiar, its very solid build reminiscent of RevoNext and so shiny remind me of the Tin P1 only bigger. They are comfortable for long ues as I test things for many days and hours on end. I found them to have good if not great isolation with just the stock tips. The cable is one of the better stock cables I've seen in budget entries. 2 BA 2 DD Hybrid earphones Two pin connector. Earphone type: In Ear.Impedance: 16Ω±20% Earphone sensitivity: 104db±3db...
  15. OneOdio A10 ANC

    3.50 star(s)
    A10 The OneOdio A10 is a entry-level ANC headphone. Ideal for people on a budget who want a ANC headphone. This thing is pretty good for its amazingly low price in terms of price/quality. Build Quality-Comfort- Design: The battery life is great for its a $30 headphone. When using Bluetooth with the ANC feature turned on you should be able to reach 20+ hours. These look fantastic and like they cost way more than they do, that cool record like pattern on the side we’ve come to expect from OneOdio’s lineup the shiny black chrome looks great but...
  16. BGVP DMS

    4.00 star(s)
    The DMS is a successor to the DMG and is a 14 driver earphone with 12 BA and 2 DD in all the new updated version does have changeable filters to tune it more to your liking for testing purposes I did use all 3 sets but kept the stock ones on for the rest of my usage as I liked them the best as well as using the different tips included. I admit I liked the look of the new blue tips very much but ended us putting on star tips to tune it the way I wanted in the end as well as the cable from the DM5 earbuds shown in the bottom right photo. Build...
  17. MoonDrop Liebesleid

    4.00 star(s)
    Inside the black box one finds the unit displayed, there is a pouch for accessories and a pouch for the liebesleid, unfortunately it is the same little pouch the Nameless comes with. For $300-+ it should have had a better pouch or case. it comes with a variety of foam covers that are extremely hard to on. It would have worked much better with a silicone sleave. It is however made solid as a rock but are a little too heavy for jogging or fitness. A solid metal shell with its beautiful, polished cavity and silver cable makes this a very fashionable...
  18. SHIVR

    4.00 star(s)
    Let me start by saying I received this product for testing and review straight from the manufacture SHIVR INC. for my honest opinion and as I always state if I don’t like and find a redeeming quality in any product sent they’ll be no review. Packaging is minimal but tastefully done and more than adequate. Accessories: Here is the first surprise , the SHIVR not only came with a better than average assortment of goodies inside. A Hard case with the company logo and a nylon pouch as well a 3.5mm aux cable, a airline adapter and a USB Tye-C charging...
  19. Kinera Sif

    4.50 star(s)
    First let me get out of the way My Sif came to me Via HiFiGO.com , this in no way ever influences my review because I make it a habit to not write on products I'm going to complain about and see no merit in reviewing. Packaging is small but adequate and very stylish with its hexagon shape. Accessories are minimal with a very nice little case that fits the Sif inside and will provide some protection on its travels. Build quality is light wight and sturdy enough to not worry about it, the IEM consisting of a two part very elegant looking all white...
  20. Jade Audio EA3

    3.50 star(s)
    Let me start off by saying that I paid for these with my own money! I heard a lot of hype over this product and that usually keeps me away unless it's sent to me. The package was very minimalist and contents slightly better. The different eartips and cable were a welcome change as they were of decent quality. I liked the look of the case but the materials and size make it useless for even the IEM itself that barely fits into it with no room for accessories or extra parts. The build quality is excellent reminding me of much more expensive...
