NOTES: Timsok Audio may not be a well known company to many. I myself was unaware of them until a member of our review group, Canuck Audioholics Anonymous, took a chance on ordering the TS-316. I am so happy that he did as this iem has proven to tick all my boxes when it comes to the musically...

Disclaimer: The Canon 2 was graciously provided by Yanyin for an honest review. NOTES: One of the definitions of the word Canon is “a collection or list of sacred books accepted as genuine:” With the Canon II Yanyin has set out to produce an iem aimed at reproducing sound that is genuine and...

NOTES: The Kinera Freya 2 is the 2nd iteration of the well-known Freya. The hybrid driver compliment included a single 7mm dynamic driver and three Knowles balanced armatures per side. Tech aside the Freya2 has to me one of the more attractive sets I have seen. Looks can only get you so far...

NOTES: The Simgot EA1000 Fermat is yet another release from this manufacturer of high quality iems. Coming in at $220 USD, the EA1000 has a few tricks up its sleeve with a driver compliment that not only includes and advanced 10mm dynamic driver but a 6mm Passive radiator as well. This brings...

The Lagato is tuned differently and I would not say that the R1 and Legato are competitors as far as tuning goes.

Disclaimer: The R1 was supplied by ARTTI. NOTES: The ARTTI R1 is an interesting release from a company that is new to me. They have, at the time of this review, three models. The T10 which uses a planar driver, the R2 which is a soon to be released sports a single 10mm Beryllium Plated driver...

Disclaimer: The Kiwi Ears Quintes was sent to my by Linsoul in exchange for an unbiased review. NOTES: The Kiwi Ears Quintet isn’t anything if it not ambitious. Retailing for Disclaimer: The Kiwi driver technologies into an overall surprisingly cohesive package of form and function. The...

NOTES: Celeste is yet another sub-brand of Kinera. I have had experience with a number of the Celeste offerings including the Gumiho and Pandamon, both of which were quite good. Still, I try not to let my past experiences influence my present iem reality. I can’t say that there is discernible...

NOTES: The 7Hz Zero2 is the second iteration of the well received original Zero. This time around 7Hz continues its collaboration with Crinacle while upgrading the driver, cable and tweaking the tuning. Boasting a single 10m dynamic driver, the Zero2 is the epitome of simplicity as far as...

NOTES: QOA is yet another offshoot brand of Kinera. They join Celeste in this regard in bringing to market quality products with careful attention to both form and function. Tuning wise the Aviation is blessed with a sound that bucks the prevailing Harmon based trend yet does not stray far...

I would say yes.

Disclaimer: The ZiiGaat Nuo was provided by Linsoul for my unbiased review. NOTES: ZiiGaat is a new name, at least to me, in the iem space. Ziigaat states that they have been designing oem products for numerous audio global brands for over 10 years. The name ZiiGatt stands for “Zero-in...

Disclaimer: The EW200 was provided by Simgot for a fair review NOTES: The Simgot EW200 is the third product I’ve listened to from this manufacturer. This model is lower down in their line, but this does not mean it is not worthy, exactly the opposite I would argue. The Ew200 has a...

NOTES: Plunge Audio is the epitome of a boutique brand. From manufacturing to marketing, the company is a one man show. Each iem is hand built in Canada and the Unity has very unique characteristics that set itself aside from virtually all the competition. Firstly, it is not made of the typical...

Disclaimer: The Kiwi ears Melody was provided to me by Linsoul for an unbiased review. NOTES: The Kiwi Ears Melody is an interesting release, insomuch as it is the only iem in their lineup that uses a planar driver. The Melody sports a 12mm planar driver as its sole noise maker. Kiwi Ears does...

I have not listened to the MK2 unfortunately.

I did not have much problem with fit, though a member of our small reviewer group did.

NOTES: The Soundrhyme DTE900 stands at the top of this manufacturers product line and is touted as their TOTL product. At $800 USD this iem while not being cheap, is far from the asking price of other TOTL products out there, in particular when its overall performance is considered. The driver...
