Preamble: The Sub 1k IEM market is one which has heated up ferociously in the last few years. Especially with the likes of Chi Fi manufacturers getting traction and even starting their own cult house SQ etc. Makes finding a good bang:sound IEM increasingly difficult. I have been on this mission for the last 2 years (see my previous reviews). I've been through pretty much all well known manufacturers from 64 audio to campfire audio to beyerdynamic and Sony. Every time I thought i'd found the one, i'd find myself finding flaws in the SQ or loose...

Preamble: - Purchased without subsidisation for this review. Packaging and Accessories: - Good - Case is solid - Good tip selection - The cable is very nice Build: - Good - Only caveat is changing tips is very hard due to nozzle design - very light Fit: - Good - Comfortable to wear Tuning screws: - Gives a bass bump - The bass becomes bloated with the bump Equipment used: - E1DA balanced off MBP16 Sound: Bass: Good quanity. Lacks speed and prescion. There is a boost in the midbass, bleeds into the lower mids. Mids: Upper...

FIrst of. These are incredible. At the price point of $60USD, it is incomprehensible how these can sound so good. Testing Equipment used: - Iphone SE + MBP - JDS Atom Music Genres: - Pop - Hip Hop - R&B - Rap Build Quality: - Decent, it could probably take a drop or too - Cable is also quite good Fit: - No issues, the nozzle is quite large so might make it difficult to put some tips on (especially silicone) Bass: - Very very very very well done. The extension is perfect. Great quantity of slam and yet is still fast. There is good seperation...

Summary: - Small preamble: bought with my own money, complete unbiased opinion. - I bought these headphones due to their FR, knowning they were somewhat bass heavy (which is what i was after).For open-planars, they have an exceptional amount of slam in the sub-bass with fast decay and a decent amount of rumble. Mids sound nice, with the high-mids not sounding shouty. Treble is crsip, no harhness and no silibance. - Use case: People who like R+B, Hip-hop, EDM and Pop. I think the reviewer who gave them 3 stars was being unfair (it'd be like rating CA...

Preface: This is the first time i've recieved a product for review and as such i tried my best to impartial to that fact. Since i'm leaving a somewhat average review when other reviewers have left 5/5 i'm expecting some backlash for this. Originally i was going to leave a 1.5/5 review, however after factoring in the build quality as well as 'unboxing' experience i upped it by 0.5. I would like to Thank Paul from Effect Audio for giving me the opportunity to review these cables at no cost to me. Testing equipment: - 64 Audio Tia Trio - Hiby R5 &...

Preamble: Bought from a dealer with no subsidies. I've been searching a long time for a TOTL IEM which does everything. And i can finally say, after going through about 10 sets of TOTL IEMs i have found mine.

Preamble: Bought these brand new direcly from Sony Australia with my own money. Though are a ridiculous discount ($440 AUD - they are $1300 New). As Such, i will be rating these in terms of a <$500 AUD (<$350 USD) set of cans. As if they were to be rated at the RRP, i would give them a 2.5 - 3/5 Comparators Campfire Audio Cascade Source Hiby R5 Macbook Pro Tracks Bass response: Drake MIA, Ed Sheeran South of Boarder Mid response: Ed Sheeran South of the boarder, Toto Africa, Sam smith How do you sleep Treble response: sam smith How do you sleep...

Preamble Bought these with my own money. Not biased nor sponsored in anyway. I keep my reviews short and to the point. Hope this helps you make a decision on whether to purchase or not. Packaging Very nicely laid out packaging. Has everything you could want. The case is a bit odd, but once you get the hang of using it works well to keep the IEMs safe. The double box design makes it look and feel sophisticated, which i think is what they are going for with the whole $1k ear jewlery thing. Build Very solid build. The shell size will likely fit a...

Preamble Bought with my money and RRP Packaging Good, great inclusions in the box. Build Very good build. No complaints here Sound :/. A/B between the nano and my apple usb dongle both running through my ipad pro. I could not tell any difference between the tracks i was playing (Tidal Master/Hifi). The Amp in the nano is of course better and as such was able to provide more power on tap, but other than that, it was not a large enough improvement to warrant the $285 difference in price. Sumamry I'll keep this very short and to the point. I do not...

Preamble: I bought this with my money at full RRP. This review is no way influenced by HIby or any other party. Even though i am happy with my purchase, i need to highlight that Hiby has chosen to be deceptive in their marketing tactics (Screen size in renders and lack of native EQ) - they really didn't need to be, as i personally would've bought either way. I keep my reviews short, becasue i don't like reading, i like conciseness and to the pointness. Equipment used to test: Empire Ears Legend X Sony MDR Z7M2 Comparitors A&K SR15 Macbook Pro...

Preamble: Bought at RRP, not sponsored or indorsed. Summary: Great Hybrid. Cannot beat the DD sound, which i am very fond of. Manages to have the best of both worlds. I found myself turning up the volume higher and higher, and not being limited by high shrieking treble but rather actual decibels the first time i have experienced a pair of IEMs which are able to do this. increasing volume increases the 'thickness' It should be noted that Tip selection, insertion depth are pivotal as if subpar they will not sound like 2k+ earphones. Comfort was an...

Preface: Unlike 5 or 6 of the other reviews about this product and extensively in the Campfire Audio range in general, this review was not sponsored in anyway nor was this a review product or an item given for review. I purchased this with my own money. This is a very honest review. I understand that some will disagree with my statements but so be it. I honestly believe, psychologically, if you are given a product free you will inherently more likely to provide a more positive review. It is human nature, i may not know headphones very well, but i...

Preface: I'm not affiliated with FiiO nor was this review paid for or biased in anyway. I purchased this for full MSRP. I've summarised below the key points, as i prefer to keep things succinct and to the point rather than a plethora synonyms. Packaging: FiiO have always been good with their packaging, a simple cardboard box with a more stylish black box containing the gear inside the outer box. As usual there is the authenticity scratch off. One of the strengths is the amount of cables and accessories already provided, which is simply...
