  1. ikko OH1

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer : This unit was provided for an honest review by Hifinage. All opinions are my own. You can buy it from the store here. Build & Fit Thankfully, it is lighter than it's bigger brother OH10 even though it is also made up of metal, an aerospace alloy. The understated blue is a refreshing color to see in the world of iems. The shells are durable and well built, and on the taller side (vertically) than the usual shell, due to its "crushed metal" look. The fit in my medium ears is not what I would call snug, but not something that actually...
  2. Kinera BD005 Pro

    3.50 star(s)
    Build & Fit It would be a surprise if a Kinera IEM wasn't the looker. The Bd005 Pro is quite the looker if I am honest. The 3d Printed shell is similar to a semi custom fit, which translates to it fitting like a glove in my ear. Blissful comfort for me. The faceplate has a "glassy" glossy finish to it, and indeed for the 49$ you pay for this, you are surely getting more than your worth at least when it comes to looks. The cable is of the generic kind, which isn't to say that it is bad, just that there are better cables coming in stock form with...

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer: This unit was provided by Hifigo as a part of a tour in exchange for an honest opinion. All thoughts and opinions are my own. You can buy the KBear BElieve here. Build and Fit Featuring shells made of aerospace grade aluminium alloy, BElieve is hefty! It's got a reassuring weight to the chassis which indicates premium materials used. The faceplate is inlaid with volcanic ash carbon fiber layered with a blue reflective material that only shows itself when caught under the light. The cable is made of 4 strands 40 core 6N Furukawa single...
  4. Tipsy TM1 True Wireless Earphones

    4.50 star(s)
    Build & Fit The carry case of the TM1 is made of ceramic which give it a premium feel and heft to it. I haven't come across a TWS with such a premium material on its carry case. It does feel premium but unfortunately, ceramic doesn't make it scratch-proof as in my unit the case has attracted a few scratches from months of usage. The earpieces themselves are lightweight and on the small side and feature the acrylic faceplate like the other offerings from Tipsy. The stem of the TM1 is shorter than average, and people with big ears might have some seal...
  5. Tin HiFi P2

    4.00 star(s)
    Disclaimer : The unit was provided courtesy of Hifigo as a part of a review tour. I am not being influenced in any way to say anything specific, all thoughts and opinions are my own. You can purchase the unit by clicking here. Build and Fit TinHifi's P2 features a 12mm planar diaphragm which is housed in a stainless steel shell. The chassis isn't bulky, in fact it's on the smaller side and will benefit from big sized tips for a nice seal. The ultra fine mesh on the back gives it a nice sophisticated look, and the P2 is a closed back iem. The cable...
  6. Cat Ear Audio - Mimi

    5.00 star(s)
    Build and Fit The build and style of Mimi is quite stylish, a repeating pattern seen in CatEar products. This features the DP100 shell which is smaller than the MX500 shell, which is good news for all as its an easier fit in the ears, even in my not-big ears. I can wear these for hours without ear ache or pressure points. The cable is 1.2m 3.5mm SE, silver plated OFC. The cable although beautiful to look at and interact with, has its pros and cons. The advantage being that it never gets tangled with itself, drawback being that it never stays...
  7. BGVP DM8

    4.50 star(s)
    Build & Fit : We have the transparent clear variant here for review and it is beautiful. But what's even prettier is the cable. It is a thiccc frozen UPOCC 6N 8-strand single crystal copper 24awg cable. The Litz structure is made by hand according to BGVP. It is a heavy cable and the connector plugs are solid chunks of metal, which can even be used to hurt people. Every component of the cable screams quality and truly high-end. It is a balanced cable in stock form and you get 2 adapters, one to 3.5mm SE and another to 4.4mm BAL. The cable is so...
  8. See Audio Yume/Anou

    4.50 star(s)
    Build and Fit : The faceplate of Anou takes into account scattered pearlescent flakes which changes color subtly when it catches light at different angles. It changes from reddish brown to gold and sea green to ultramarine blue. The design is sophisticated and it isn't chintzy or gaudy to look at. The color shift is lowkey and won't be attention seeking on the streets. The Anou is universal fit, the fit is perfect for my smaller than average ears. I can even insert it deep in my ears, which attenuates the noise a lot, resulting in some serious...
  9. Tipsy Blue Aurora

    4.00 star(s)
    Build Quality The resin faceplate is a gorgeous blue/black which is inspired by the color of the aurora. The shells are extremely lightweight as it features only 1 BA inside. The shell size is slightly smaller than its bigger brother the Dunmer and so it fits flush inside my small-medium ears. The cable has a nice braid but is lesser in girth than that of the Dunmer. It also has a tendency to kink on itself. However the plugs and connectors have the same great build quality and weight to it. The stock eartips provided are of silicon and narrow bore...
  10. Tipsy Dunmer

    4.50 star(s)
    Build Quality & Comfort Like all Tipsy products, the Dunmer is handmade and the faceplate is polished to represent a night sky. The unboxing experience is suave and hip, you know Tipsy hails from the modern day and age and it shows in their packaging and design. The faceplate looks gorgeous. The surface of the shell is prone to picking up grease and fingerprints. The cable is an 8 core Silver Plated Copper terminated with 3.5mm SE and 2 pin 0.78mm detachable on the connector side. The cable also features a robust y-split and a chin slider. The...

    Disclaimer: The unit has been sent to me from Hifigo as a part of a review circle. I am not working or affiliated to Hifigo and I am not being paid or influenced otherwise to say anything positive or negative about this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Build and Fit: A remarkably beautiful IEM by design, the entire chassis is made out of plastic, hence lightweight. I do wish the pattern extended all the way down to the shell. Overall, the build seems to be good for the price but long-term durability may be questionable. However, the...

    Disclaimer: The unit has been sent to me from Hifigo as a part of a review circle. I am not working or affiliated to Hifigo and I am not being paid or influenced otherwise to say anything positive or negative about this review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Build and Fit: The shell is made of 3D printed medical grade resin and the faceplate is made up of stainless steel. The units are hefty and feel solidly built.

  15. AKG M220 Pro

    4.50 star(s)
    The overall sound is clean and balanced. The highs are clean and not sibilant or in your face. They are fairly recessed but have great extension which keeps the music alive and not sound dark. Hence these make a great candidate for long listening sessions without fatigue. Vocals sound amazing in these. Been listening to a lot of Jim Morrison, Sam Smith and Freddie Mercury lately and I can definitely confirm that the vocalist takes a step forward. The mids are surprisingly very well detailed and cozy. any vocal based music will sound fantastic in...
  16. AKG K712 Pro

    5.00 star(s)
    Build and Aesthetics: The entire body is made up of plastic except a few small parts that use metal. Although people can scoff at an almost entirely plastic build, it results in a very lightweight headphone. Since this is mainly intended to be used in studio/home, the plastic build isn’t that big of a deal. But at 350$ (INR 25000) it would have been better to see more metal incorporated. Fit: Uses the classic suspension strap mechanism of AKG, the strap here being made of leather; no complaints regarding the headband, works all the time and works...
  17. TinAudio T2

    4.50 star(s)
    Build & Aesthetics: The shells are made of metal through and through which results in a durable build quality. The downside being that in winter your ears get an ice-bath for a minute until it reaches thermal equilibrium with your body temperature. The T2s are aesthetically pleasing and nothing screams out of place. With round and smooth edges, when plugged in they appear quite discreet and minimal, not appearing gaudy and drawing too much attention. At 50$, the stock cable it comes with is of commendable quality with the ends molded in resin...
