    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO :- I have been reviewing some BA based earphones lately. But here I am reviewing the Tenhz K5, previously known as Audbos (I previously reviewed the P4). Audbos was one of their OEM. Tenhz, the Chinese manufacturer has now taken the matter in to their hand. They Have a few earphones in their kitty ranging from $80 to $200.

  3. Schmitt S20

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Few days ago I reviewed the Schmitt S10, its time for the bigger brother Schmitt S20. Doubling on the Knowles drivers the S20 has one BA for Bass and other one churns out the mid and highs. It has the exact form factor, comes in only one color, White, priced at $250 it has plenty of competition. Get one for yourself from here. http://www.accessoryjack.com/headphones/in-ear-monitor/schmitt-acoustics-s20-dual-balanced-armature-driver-in-ear-monitor-headphones-white.html P.S. I will and have never received any money from any one of any...
  4. Schmitt S10

    3.50 star(s)
    INTRO:- Schmitt Acoustics Limited or say, Schmitt Audio operates from Hong Kong and is directed more towards those who want to have Quality products for a more reasonable price. They might not have made huge efforts at making their products shine in the eyes of consumer but have 3 very good Earphones Under their sleeves. (currently looking for distributors Please contact soundwellco@gmail.com if interested) All of their Earphones use Knowles BA drivers. S10 uses one, S20 uses 2 and S30 uses 3 BA drivers. I will be reviewing the S10 and S20, but...
  5. HILL Audio S8

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Last time I reviewed the HillAudio Vajra3, this one is the HillAudio S8. A Different looking earphone with Dual BA for highs and mid range and a Dynamic Driver for Bass. Priced from RM250-270, which translates to around $62 is made of CNC machined aluminum alloy, comes in two colors, Black and Metallic blue. It goes against the likes of Shozy hibiki, Brainwavz B150, Whizzer A15 and many more earphones as this space is very crowded, We will see if the S8 holds its own in this competition or not. P.S. :- I just received the Earpieces and...
  6. Hill Audio Vajra3 ( Nicehck DT300 )

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Not many of you have heard about HillSonicAudio, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Operated by Vincent (A good friend of mine) Sells mostly KZ earphones and Chinese OEM products for less than what others will sell you for. He will ship out to any country if you are willing to pay for shipping. Here is his Online Shop:- https://shopee.com.my/shop/6548893/search/ What I am reviewing here is the HillAudio Vajra 3 (Factory UNIT, Retail units may look different), Vajra a Sanskrit word which basically means weapon, Vajra 3 is a 3BA earphone, One...
  7. EARNiNE EN210

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Not all of us have heard about earnine9, it’s a Japanese brand which has concentrated on only BA based earphones, 4 to be exact, and all of them are either single or two BA based earphones. Their EN2J was a well received earphone but was still didn’t got as much popularity as others, maybe it was the lack of media exposure. I hope this won't happen to their newest earphone in their EN lineup, the EN210 (which is still at production stage). The EN210 slots between the EN2J and EN1J, houses 2 BA drivers with a 2 way crossover, without...
  8. Audio Technica ATH-IM03 SonicPro Balanced In-Ear Monitor Headphones

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- This, most of us have heard of, was released back in 2013, it didn’t made much waves, neither got plenty of reviews or had loads of people talking about them. The one that caught the most attention from this Sonic Pro line-up was the ATH-im02. Even though the IM03 is more capable, no one really bothered about these as they were not available to reviewers, and when I reached Audio Tehnica, Guess what, they were not interested. Housing 3BAs (one for bass, mid and highs, each) is not a small thing from a power house like Audio Technica...
  9. TFZ King Pro

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- The Fragrant zither, better known as TFZ has raised its head as one of the biggest Chinese brands in the world of audiophile. They only make dynamic driver earphones with dual magnetic drivers. Their series 5 first gen was caught the eyes of bass-heads with its pounding bass. After a few revisions they now came with Exclusive series. And the released the King pro as an upgrade to the Exclusive king with 2pin connector. I had the exclusive king, and it was one of the best $100 earphone. Most of the Reviewers and the audience too concur with...
  10. Audiofly AF-1120

    5.00 star(s)
    Intro:- Last year I reviewed a Quad BA master class from an Australian brand, Audiofly. Hailing from Australia. Highly recognized for their multi-driver technology. It's one of the few brands which has a full series of dynamic and BA based earphones. They have a couple of hybrid earphones for the lovers of V shaped sound signature and then they had two BA based earphones, AF160 (triple BA) and AF180 (quad BA), has now come up with an exceptionally equipped earphone, their new flagship the AF1120, available in only clear option ( which I think...
  11. Audbos P4

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Most of us have never heard about audbos, originated in china, audbos is really new in the market, make its entry last year when Magaosi split up due to some conflict between them, giving the audbos owner an opening to come up with their own line of earphones. They already have some earphones under their inventory. They have a Magaosi K3 clone with 2BA and one DD, there is a single BA earphone too (review coming soon of this single BA too) and some more cheaper ones. What I have here with me is their flagship audbos P4, has 4 BA drivers...
  12. Signature Acoustics Elements C-12 version 2.0

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- We Indians are passionate about music, we love our music, our movies have songs built into them, so you can figure. Sadly we are not really known for our technology, specially not in the field of music equipments and accessories related to it. But Signature acoustics, from the house of Pro Audio Home is trying their best to bring some decent stuff for our Indian music enthusiasts, I like their tag line too which goes like Signature Acoustics Hear the Call. They have recently came up with a revised version of their already popular wooden...
  13. Final Audio Design E3000

    4.00 star(s)
    Intro:- Final audio, most of us might not have heard about this brand, we are blinded by many chi-fi brands and some dazzling brands who make multi driver earphones and like to keep in the lime light. Hailing from Japan, the land of rising sun and the land of technology, Final Audio Design is one of the best known brands for its premium looking single driver earphones. They don’t like to put too many drivers cramped into a small space still make fantastic utilization of that single driver. I am reviewing 4 of their earphones, F4100, F3100, E2000...
  14. Earsonics ES3 in-ear earphones

    5.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- Earsonics is one of the most popular earphone brands from Europe, hailing from France , Earsonics are known for their array of products for audiophiles, enthusiasts and artists. Their custom made earphones for artists are highly recommended and their universal earphones are some of the best earphones in their own price range. Their SM series (last gen, now replaced with ES series) was one of the most popular BA based series with praises from everyone, let it be the SM2, SM3 or the last one from that lineup, SM64, all of them enjoyed...

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:- We might not associate Rosewill with earphones but is well known for its IT peripherals like cables, computer components, small home appliances and gaming accessories like cases keyboards, mouse, headsets, speakers and PSUs. Recently Rosewill decided to jump into the audiophile world and have introduced the EX-700 and its subordinate the EX-500 with budget buyers in mind, both are "Hi-Res" certified earphones which comes in only one colour option gun metal, which in person looks as good as anything else.

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:-    MEZE is a relatively new entrant in this world of head gears. Hailing from Romania they have made an promising and grand entrance into this crazy and ever so exciting world of headphones with their 99 classic which won hearts of experts and consumers with its true to nature sound quality and classic looking wood back design.    This time around they have come up with a newer addition to their earphone line up, MEZE 12 classics, housing a titanium coated 8mm driver with aluminum voice coil, with a walnut wood housing which gives it its...
  17. Brainwavz B150

    5.00 star(s)
    GETTING STARTED:-    After being tired of people, specially reviewers requesting Brainwavz to introduce new BA based earphones, (there was a rebranded dual BA we all loved!!) Brainwavz have introduced 3 BA based earphones, I reviewed the B100 recently and it was one of the best earphone one can buy for $60, you can have a look at it here is the link.    http://www.head-fi.org/products/brainwavz-b100-balanced-armature-earphone/reviews/17783    Spoiler alert :- If B100 is really really nice, believe me, B150 is better. And yes, you pay the...
  18. Brainwavz M100 IEM Noise Isolating Earphones with Remote & Microphone Headset For iPhone iPad, iPod & Android Devices

    3.50 star(s)
    INTRO:-    When Brainwavz  decides to Launch earphones they don’t release one at a time, they like to launch 2-5 earphones in a short period of time. First the M100, first of its kind or say series and I believe we will see more of this series as the good old "R series" has been dormant for while, "S series" has not seen much movement off late, and now we have a new B series line up with two new BA earphones, and I want Brainwavz to add more earphones to this B series with multiple drivers for sure. Brainwavz has so many things up in their sleeves...
  19. Brainwavz B100 Balanced Armature Earphone

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:-    Oh come on, Brainwavz it is, no intros please.    Still with this earphone, it's more like " Metroplex heeds the call of the last prime" type of thing. Brainwavz are here with 2 new single BA earphone, B100 and B150, both are over ear, I have both but this one is for the B100, remember the B2? Hell yeah, B2 was one of the best dual BA earphones around back in its time, " yup it was an rebranded one" but.. It was Brainwavzed wasn’t it?    B100 is priced $60, for an Armature based earphone it’s reasonably priced. Meelec 151p 2nd gen...
  20. Rock Jaw Audio Clarito

    4.00 star(s)
    INTRO:-    More than a few months ago Rockjaw audio had broguht us the Rockjaw Clarito. I was given an unit back in July I think and I regret this delay, as I should have had brought this review to you guys sooner.    I don’t think I need to introduce Rockjaw Audio to you guys as it has been in the scene for last 3-4 years and rose to fame with their Rockjaw Alfa genus and RJ kommand..  Clarito is an introduction to music for beginners who are new to this crazy still ever so exciting word of audiophiles and not willing to pay more than $30 or...
