KZ ZS10 Pro 2 review and comparisons. I'd like to thank Linsoul Audio for providing me this to review. Linsoul Audio never told me what I could and couldn't say, so you can be assured that this review is all my own. KZ Audio is one of the oldest earphone brands still in business today. They produce a lot of different earphone models in quite short intervals; sometimes, they release great-sounding earphones, and I'm happy to say that the 55-dollar KZ ZS10 Pro 2 is one of them. There are various audio camps, one of which focuses on accuracy and the...

Dunu Falcon Ultra Titanium review and comparisons. I would like to thank Dunu for sending me these beautiful in-ear monitor (IEM) earphones for a review. Dunu never told me what I could or could not say, and there is no money gain on my part. You can rest assured that this review will be truthful according to my perception.

Symphonium Audio Meteor review and comparisons. Fitting and comfort: The Meteor is a compact mid-sized IEM with a light aluminum alloy shell that has a slender shape near the nozzle, which prevents it from resting hard on the outer part of the ear canal, avoiding discomfort in long listening sessions. In short, the Meteor is very comfortable to wear. Sensitivity, drivability and power handling: I had to adjust the volume to 75% to achieve the same level of loudness as my other IEMs on my dongle DAC/amps at 50% volume since the sensitivity is...

Hiby R8 II, review, and comparison. This review and comparison is a result of a lucky coincidence, because just after I bought myself a Fiio M15s digital audio player (DAP), and I haven't told anyone about it yet, Eiji Zerstorer Romero asked me if I wanted to review the Hiby R8 II. What a great opportunity it was to be able to compare my Fiio M15s to the more expensive Hiby R8 II. Thank you, Eiji, and of course, Hiby, for providing us with a review unit of a high-end DAP, the Hiby R8 II. I also would like to thank Neil Nino Clark for sending me the...

Kiwi Ears x Crinacle Singolo: review and comparisons. Kiwi Ears is a relatively young audio manufacturer based in China that produces low- to mid-priced IEMs. They recently released a cute-looking dongle DAC/amp called the Allegro. Crinacle, based in Singapore, is a well-known reviewer in the audiophile community, particularly in the Chinese HIFI scene. The Kiwi Ears x Crinacle Singolo (80 USD) is the outcome of a cooperation between Crinacle and Kiwi Ears; Crinacle co-tuned it and receives a profit split. The package is adequate, but the...

Kinera Celest Pandamon: short review and comparisons. I bought this, along with a few other things, during a big 3.3 sale at a local online shopping platform for 23 USD, including shipping, with platform discounts and vouchers applied. This was released in November of 2022, priced at 59 USD, so it has been on the market for 1 year and 4 months at this writing. It is now being sold at a lower price and could be found at 34 USD on my local shopping platforms like Lazada and Shopee. Kinera is an audiophile company based in China. They are one of the...

I will be focusing this review on sound quality to make it as short as possible. So you wont get bored reading it. The Simgot EA1000 (220 USD) is a mid-priced single-dynamic driver IEM with a passive radiator to enhance the bass. The shell is metal and chrome-finished, and the faceplate is made of glass. The weight is on the heavy side, and the size is medium. The looks and feel are very elegant, and my unboxing experience is very positive. Eartips and Cable: The stock tips look and feel very good, and the cable is above average in quality as...

The QKZ x HBB Hades is the third collaboration of the audio company QKZ and audio reviewer/youtuber Hawain Bad Boy with his YouTube channel Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews.

As you can see in the graph that I measured (see photo), the bass is elevated by 15 decibels. I am a neutral...

First of all, I'd like to thank Kinera for their generosity and trust in me and for sending me this beautiful IEM in exchange for my honest thoughts and review, but you can rest assured that all I say here is of my own volition, and I didn't get paid to do this. Kinera is an audiophile company based in China. They make high-quality in-ear monitor earphones, costing from as low as 30 dollars to as much as 3,000 dollars, and most of which, if not all, have a lore behind the product name.

First of all, I'd like to thank Kinera for sending me this beautiful IEM earphone, in exchange for my honest thoughts and review, with the emphasis that everything I say here should be of my own volition, and to take my time in reviewing this.

The Celest PhoenixCall cost 129.99 dollars but can be bought with...
