    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: The Simgot EW200 was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Simgot. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the EW200. For more of our reviews, feel free to check out our site: perrivanaudio.com It has been a while since I’ve heard or tried a Simgot IEM. Given the opportunity to test out a new single dynamic IEM with a newly designed driver, it sounded promising. At around $40, it is admittedly a very competitive and saturated market, with plenty of great options around $20, and...
  2. 7th Acoustics Supernova

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro I love my mids and when I heard there was an interesting newcomer on the market known specially for its midrange tuning, I just itched to get in on it. Shoutout to Stephen from 7th Acoustics. It was not the easiest buying experience, and it was a long painful wait to get my hands on the earphones, but the guys at 7th Acoustics were great and I appreciate all the order updates. Accessories Despite the small production, it comes in elaborate and very well-thought-out packaging. There is a metal case that would do a solid job at keeping the...

    Intro Disclaimer: The 7Hz x Crinacle Zero: 2 was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Linsoul. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the Zero: 2. For more reviews, do check our page www.perrivanaudio.com The original 7Hz Zero was one of my favourite “ultra-budget” IEMs, despite all the options at a very saturated price point. We are spoilt for choice in this range, with numerous brands having excellent releases, from the Tangzu Waner, Moondrop Chu, and Kiwi Ears Cadenza to these Zeros. When I...
  4. KIWI EARS Melody

    3.50 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: The Kiwi Ears Melody was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Linsoul. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the Melody. For more of our reviews, visit perrivanaudio.com The Kiwi Ears Melody is the company’s first planar earphones. Kiwi Ears also mentioned that tuning-wise, the Melody is quite deviant. Straying away from “the normally neutral tonal balance” in their other IEMs, the Melody was declared to be “truly a bass lover’s dream”. It seems like the mission they had with...
  5. 7Hz Sonus

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: The 7HZ Sonus was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Linsoul. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the Sonus. For more reviews like this, visit our site perrivanaudio.com 7HZ produces an interesting release in the 50-100 dollars bracket, the Sonus. It’s a 1DD+1BA hybrid, and while not the most eye-catching IEM, it claims to have a focus on detail retrieval and accurate tonality. From what I am aware, this is 7Hz’s first hybrid IEM. Accessories 7Hz provides the usual...
  6. KiwiEars Quintet

    4.50 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: The Kiwi Ears Quintet was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Linsoul. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the Quintet. For more of our reviews, visit perrivanaudio.com I’m coming to review the Quintet right after the Quartet. The Quartet was a rather bass-heavy warm-sounding IEM that tries to be a jack of all trades at its relatively budget price point. The Quintet, based on price point, is a step up from the Quartet and switches things up in the driver configuration. It’s...

For more reviews like this, do consider dropping by our website. I’m incredibly late to reviewing this pair but I really took my time with this one. Spoiler alert: I enjoyed my time with the 7Hz Timeless, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't carried away by the hype train. Accessories The Timeless comes with quite a selection of silicon tips and some foam tips. Honestly, they didn't...

For more reviews like this, do check out our website! BGVP released a 5-driver hybrid at an eye-catching price of $75.

    Intro Disclaimer: The TinHiFi T3 Plus was provided to us at no charge courtesy of Ken from TinHiFi. However, this was done in understanding I was to give my honest thoughts and opinions of the T3 Plus.

  10. TKZK Wave

    3.50 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: This review set is a demo lent to me as part of a Singapore review tour. This review is written of my own accord and all thoughts here are my own. For more reviews like this, do check out our site! I had to do some searching up on TKZK and only then did I find out that it was a subsidiary/sister company of TinHiFi, with a focus on producing for the budget market. The Wave seems to be their debut IEM and comes in at a price of around US$30-37, at the time of writing, featuring a hybrid 1 Balanced Armature + 1 Dynamic Driver setup...

    Intro Disclaimer: This review set was graciously lent to me by a friend and the review is written of my own accord. For more reviews likes this, do check out our webpage! ANOTHER KZ in the house! This time, things are a little more exciting with a brand new driver set up. The KZ ZEX is a budget IEM at $22 packing a hybrid of a low-voltage electrostatic driver and a dynamic driver within. This is the first electrostatic driver implementation at this price point (together with the sister brand CCA NRA). I can't wait to see what they have done with...

    3.50 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: This review set was graciously lent to me by a friend from his personal collection and the review is written of my own accord. For more reviews like this, do check out our website. The Seeaudio Bravery adopted a frequency response that was voted for by the community, seeking to develop a ground-up approach tuning to this IEM. The faceplate design was also voted for by the community. The result is a pair of gorgeous 4BA IEMs at a price of US$279. Let’s take a look at how it measures up. Accessories and Build Quality (Score: 9/10)...

    Intro Disclaimer: I purchased the Tripowin Mele with my own money at full price and this review is written of my own accord. All thoughts and opinions written here are my own. If this helped you do check out our website for more reviews here! The Mele is not just any single dynamic driver IEM. There is quite a story behind it, and one might say hype.

  16. Moondrop Quarks

    3.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: I received the Moondrop Quarks from ShenZhenAudio at no charge in exchange for an honest review of my experience. Should you find yourself interested in a pair, they are available here. The thoughts and impressions in this review are my own and will be strictly objective. For more reviews like these, do check out our website! At this point, the brand Moondrop needs no more introduction. I've tried many of their Single Dynamic Drivers under $200 and they have mostly been excellent options. At this point, Moondrop hasn't missed in...
  17. ISN EST50

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: This review set was graciously lent to me by a friend from his personal collection and the review is written of my own accord. This set was purchased by him from Penon Audio at full price. If this has helped you, do check out our website for more! ISN is still a relatively obscure brand, with its most successful model being the ISN H40 Hybrid IEMs. The EST50 is supposedly their latest flagship set to continue the path that the H40s have forged. I have yet to try the H40s, and my only experience with an IEM from ISN is their D02...
  18. QKZ VK4 iem

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: I purchased the QKZ VK4 with my own money at full price and this review is written of my own accord. For more reviews like these, do check out our website. The QKZ VK4 has been around for quite some time, even before the BLON BL-03’s rise to fame (or notoriety). In a similar fashion, the VK4 had its minute of fame on the hype train, where some have compared its frequency response curve to the likes of Campfire’s Andromedas. There are some who love it to bits, some who absolutely hate on it, and today we shall weigh in with our two...

  20. Tanchjim Tanya

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro Disclaimer: I received the Tanchjim Tanya at no charge from Daniel at Oardio to test out. This review, however, is written of my own accord and all thoughts and impressions here are my own. For more reviews like this, do check out our website. I will always have a soft spot for the Tanchjim brand ever since trying out their Oxygen Earphones. The Oxygen reflected Tanchjim’s ability to whisk magic into a single dynamic driver. The Tanya is their latest, and cheapest, IEM in their line-up, featuring a single dynamic driver. It is a typical...
