Build & Design
The Mimosa boasts a visually striking design with a beautiful faceplate and shell. The faceplate features silver and chrome accents, giving it an eye-catching appearance. The build quality is commendable, with a sturdy construction that feels durable in hand. The IEMs are relatively small, making them suitable for a wide range of ear sizes. The attention to detail in the design reflects QoA's commitment to both aesthetics and functionality.
Fit & Comfort
In my experience, the Mimosa offers a comfortable fit, even during extended listening sessions. The ergonomic design allows the IEMs to sit securely in the ears without causing discomfort. The lightweight nature of the IEMs adds to the overall comfort, making them suitable for prolonged use. However, as with any IEM, individual fit may vary, and experimenting with the provided eartips can help achieve the best seal and comfort.
Accessories (Cable & Eartips)
First, The included cable is of high quality, featuring a durable build that complements the premium feel of the IEMs. The connector pins of the cable are solid and have indicators embedded on the connector pin shells which are clearly visible, so you don't need a magnifying glass to ensure which side will go where! And speaking of the stock ear tips, they are so so, their sound performance isn’t quite up to mark with the aftermarket tips.
And lastly, the rectangular shaped pouch provides a convenient way to carry and protect the IEMs when not in use.
Tip rolling: In my testing, I found the optimal sound from Divinus Velvet Ear Tips & DUNU Candy Ear Tips
Power Consumption
The Mimosa is not the easiest IEM to drive because of the planar driver, which requires a bit of power to shine. While it works fine with a phone, it benefits significantly from a dedicated DAC/amp. Using a dongle DAC or a proper amplifier really brings out its full potential, improving dynamics and overall clarity.

Sound
Overall Performance:
When it comes to sound, the Mimosa strikes a balance between warmth and technical precision. It isn’t a completely neutral IEM, nor is it an overly V-shaped tuning. Instead, it sits somewhere in between, leaning towards a musical, slightly warm signature that emphasizes a rich bass response, natural mids, and an airy treble.
While listening, the Mimosa immediately presents itself as a fun and engaging set. The dynamic driver delivers impactful low frequencies, while the planar driver ensures the mids and treble remain crisp and detailed. This creates a well-rounded listening experience that is both enjoyable and technically competent.
Bass:
- Overall bass: The bass on the Mimosa is undeniably satisfying. It has an authoritative presence but doesn’t overwhelm the rest of the frequency range. The 10mm dynamic driver does a solid job of delivering punchy, controlled bass with enough texture to feel refined rather than bloated. The bass here is more about quality than sheer quantity, though bass lovers will still find it fulfilling.
- Sub-bass: The sub-bass extends well, providing a pleasant rumble that you can both hear and feel. Tracks with deep bass notes, such as electronic and hip-hop, sound immersive, as the sub-bass resonates nicely without muddying the mids. It’s not the most exaggerated sub-bass, but it provides just enough depth to give music a grounded, full-bodied feel.
- Mid-bass: The mid-bass is where the fun factor comes in. There’s a satisfying slam to kick drums, bass guitars have a rich presence, and percussion instruments have a weighty impact. Unlike some bass-heavy IEMs that end up sounding bloated, the Mimosa keeps things tight and well-defined. Rock and pop tracks benefit the most from this characteristic, as the bass feels energetic without overpowering the vocals or instruments.
- Overall mids: The mids on the Mimosa are warm and lush. They don’t have that ultra-detailed, crisp character that some people love, but instead, they create a more musical and natural feel. Instruments and vocals sound full and present, making them enjoyable for relaxed listening.
- Lower-mids: The lower-mids provide a sense of body and weight to instruments and male vocals. Guitars sound full, pianos have a natural tonality, and male singers have a warm, intimate presence. Unlike some IEMs that have a recessed lower-midrange, the Mimosa ensures that these frequencies remain full and engaging without sounding muddy.
- Upper-mids: The upper-mids are slightly elevated, which helps female vocals and string instruments stand out. This elevation gives clarity to higher-pitched elements, making female voices sound expressive and emotionally engaging. However, on certain recordings with aggressive upper-mids, the Mimosa can come across as a bit energetic, though not harsh.
- Overall Vocals: Vocals are one of the most important parts of music, and the Kinera Celest QoA Mimosa does a fantastic job of making them sound rich, clear, and engaging. Whether you’re listening to deep male voices or high-pitched female vocals, there’s a sense of warmth and natural tonality that makes voices feel real and expressive. But some female vocals might sound a bit sharp to treble sensitive listeners.
- Male Vocals: Male vocals sound rich, thanks to the slightly warm lower mids. There’s a good sense of body, making deep voices feel full and present. Whether it's a classic jazz singer or a modern indie vocalist, the Mimosa captures the essence of male voices well without making them sound distant or thin.
- Female Vocals: Female vocals are one of the highlights of the Mimosa. The slightly forward upper-mids give them a presence that stands out in a mix without becoming shouty. Soprano voices, in particular, sound airy and expressive. However, in tracks where the recording itself is bright, the Mimosa’s upper-mid elevation can make some notes a bit intense. For example, i faced a little bit of sharpness while listening to Beth Hart
- Overall-treble: The treble on the Mimosa is well-extended, bringing an airy openness to the sound. The inclusion of a planar driver ensures that high frequencies remain detailed and fast, preventing any unwanted sharpness. Treble-sensitive listeners might find certain peaks a bit noticeable at times, but for most people, the treble adds clarity without excessive harshness.
- Lower-treble: The lower-treble is where details shine. Cymbals, hi-hats, and string plucks all come through with crispness and energy. The attack and decay of treble elements are quick, thanks to the planar driver, making details feel lively and well-defined. But as i mentioned previously, treble sensitive listeners may find the cymbal hits shouty in certain tracks
- Upper-treble: The upper-treble helps expand the soundstage, creating an open and atmospheric sound. There’s enough air to make instruments feel separated, and the added sparkle brings excitement to the overall sound signature. This is particularly enjoyable for genres like classical and acoustic, where the sense of space is crucial.
Instruments:
Instrument reproduction is another strong point of the Mimosa. Thanks to the hybrid driver setup, different instruments have distinct textures and tonality. Guitars sound crisp and lifelike, string instruments have good vibrancy, and electronic synthesizers are presented with energy. The layering of different elements in a mix is well done, ensuring that instruments do not blend into one another.
Soundstage & Imaging:
The Mimosa offers an above-average soundstage for an IEM. It doesn’t have the vastness of open-back headphones, but for an in-ear monitor, it provides a good sense of width and depth. There’s enough room to give music a natural and immersive feel, preventing congestion in busy tracks.
Imaging is precise, making it easy to distinguish between different elements in a mix. Whether it's the positioning of instruments in a live recording or the movement of sound effects in a cinematic track, the Mimosa handles spatial cues well. This also makes it a viable option for gaming, as directional accuracy is crucial for immersive gameplay.
Dynamics & Technicalities:
The Mimosa does a great job handling changes in volume and intensity, making everything sound natural and dynamic. It reacts quickly to different sounds, so you can hear all the little details in the music. Whether it's a high-energy electronic track or a soft acoustic song, the Mimosa keeps everything clear and enjoyable.

Sound
Bass:
- Sub-bass: The sub bass goes low and provides a pleasant rumble without being too boomy and taking over the rest of the sound. It's well bodied, has satisfying rumble and well defined that makes electronic and cinematic music sound engaging.
- Mid-bass: The mid bass is fast, tight, punchy with good amount attack and decay delay, providing weight to kick drums and bass guitars without being on your face or muddying. Rock, metal, and EDM benefit particularly from this tuning. It's firm but never gets out of control.
- Lower-mids: Lower mids are full and warm, rendering male vocals and instruments such as pianos and cellos rich and earthy.
- Upper-mids: Upper mids add some additional emphasis, so female vocals and lead instruments stand out without ever sounding harsh. Strings, horns, and percussive elements sound quite lively adding to the IEM's engaging character. Everything is nicely placed vocals and instruments are present but never overwhelming.
- Male Vocals: Male vocals are full-bodied, yet full of life, with a slight hint of warmth that makes them full in the mix. Baritone and tenor voices carry with them a timbre that works well in vocals-focused genres, such as jazz and folk.
- Female Vocals: The female vocals sparkle bright with clarity but retain a smooth and airy feel. There is no harshness to speak of, and hence, the BQ10 are suitable for extended listening sessions comprising vocal-forward tracks.
- Lower-treble: Lower treble smoothly imparts cymbals, hi-hats, and violins a nice crispness without being too sharp. You can feel the hits of the hi-hats because of its well extension.
- Upper-treble: Provides openness and sparkle that is in line with the generally perceived airiness of the signature. Micro-detailing from an acoustic recording or live performance does emerge organically, and there's a sense of space around them. However, the clarity can be sharp to sensitive ears. Treble sensitivity may expose you to edginess in some tracks, which I have experienced as a treble sensitive listener while undergoing extended listening sessions.
Separation between instruments is good, allowing many layers of the track to breathe well. Plucks on guitars, snare rolls, and their synthesizer details sound well-textured enough to allow immersion into any genre to sail well.
Soundstage & Imaging:
The soundstage on the BQ10 is wide & spacious, giving a good sense of openness that makes the music feel more immersive.
Imaging is nice, provides a 3D like sensation and that's why one can easily distinguish where instruments or sounds are from. Instruments or sounds, this also makes them good for gaming.
Dynamics & Technicalities:
These IEMs can manage small and large volume changes well. There are nuanced subtleties delivered naturally, and if a song has a large dynamic change, the BQ10 plays it in an energetic and lively manner. The resolution is excellent value for money, the sound clarity and texture is good for the price

Introduction
The Agasound AgaOne is a budget DD IEM, priced under $40, aimed for listeners who strive for a high-fidelity experience without breaking a bank. With their magnetic single DD configuration, extensive tuning, and top-notch build quality, the AgaOne does indeed promise an engaging and at the same time exacting listen.
Specifications:
- Driver Configuration: Balanced Dual Magnetic Single DD
- Impedance: 19Ω 10% @1kHz
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 40kHz
- Sensitivity: 126 dB
- Connector Type: 2-pin 0.78mm
- Cable Termination: 3.5mm single-ended
- Shell Material: CNC-machined aluminum alloy
Package Contents:
- The Agasound AgaOne IEMs themselves
- Detachable high-purity silver-plated OFC cable
- Three Pairs of Wide Bore Ear Tips [S, M, L]
- Three Pairs of Narrow Bore Ear Tips [S, M, L]
- Three Pairs of Silicone Sponge Ear Tips [S, M, L]
- User manual and warranty card
Build & Design
The AgaOne from Agasound is exquisitely built, replete with durability and elegance on CNC-machined aluminum alloy shells. A matte finish does help reduce fingerprints and smudges, and a light build makes it comfortable even after hours of listening. The subtle engravings add touches of sophistication without appearing too ostentatious.
First, the 2-pin connectors are recessed for extra protection, and the nozzles have a very well-designed lip to keep the eartips in place. All this attention to construction detail instills confidence in the fact that this product is built to last.
Fit & Comfort
Thanks to the ergonomic design and lightweight construction, AgaOne fits really well. Slightly angled nozzles and compact shell design translate to a very snug, comfortable seal on most ear shapes. Due to how many eartips were included with it, finding just the right fit was pretty easily managed for great comfort and good isolation even on longer sessions.
Accessories (Cable & Eartips)
Apart from the aesthetic look, the silver-plated OFC cable is highly functional, boasting extremely low resistance and very minimal microphonics. The durability was increased by a braided design, while it features a reinforced gold plated 3.5mm jack. As for the ear tips, they’re quite good. This wide variety of eartips enables users to experiment with tip-rolling for the best sound and fit.
Tip rolling: In my testing, I found the optimal sound from stock Narrow Bore Ear Tips & Divinus Velvet Ear Tips
Note: I had to lend one pair of narrow bore tips to one of my Sonic Mantra members for testing purposes. As a result, there are only 8 pairs of eartips in the picture!
Power Consumption
The Agasound AgaOne IEMs should be able to be somewhat power-efficient due to their relatively modest 19Ω impedance and extremely high 126 dB sensitivity. That would be in specification speak, at the very least. This could imply that the AgaOne should also function flawlessly with less powerful sources for loud and dynamic sound.
Testing Gears:
- DAC Dongle: BQYEZ Lin (CX31993)
- DAC Dongle: NiceHCK TC3 (ALC5686)
- DAC Dongle: Jcally JM45 (ES9318)

- Smartphone: Samsung Galaxy A12 (3.5mm)
- Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3520 (3.5mm & the above mentioned sources through UGREEN US276 A to C Converter)
Sound
Bass:
Soundstage & Imaging: This sound field opens up to an immersive listen, which is very expansive in width. Imaging is pinpoint accurate; placing instruments and vocals within the mix is rather easy. The depth and layering are quite good, adding to the sense of realism here.
Dynamics: The AgaOne performs very well in dynamic range, handling subtle nuances just as easily as it would powerful crescendos, fit for everything from classical to rock.
Technicalities: Average considering the price. The detail retrieval was decent. I had to concentrate on the track to pick up the microdetails as the presentation was bare minimum.
FAQ
Is it good for gaming?
Yes, it is, because of the precise imaging the AgaOne can accurately deliver the in-game details (e.g. footsteps, sound of bullet trajectory etc.)
Who should buy this?
The AgaOne would go to listeners who are interested in a well-rounded and detailed IEM without breaking a bank. It is highly suitable for listeners that emphasize clarity and precision more over exaggerated bass.
Who should not buy this?
This makes the tuning of the AgaOne less satisfying for bassheads or listeners who enjoy a warm, lush sound signature. It's not tuned for listeners that like an overly bass-heavy or very forgiving sound.
Conclusion
It makes good on many of those promises. The AgaOne sounds remarkably clear, detailed, and capable as a technically skilled IEM - not for the hard-core bass listener or those looking for a warm tonal balance - but it presents accuracy combined with the qualities that make a listen both lively and interesting. Indeed, very good build and careful design make it yet another very commendable in-ear that is well up to the much more costly options regarding overall listening experience delivery.Attachments

The Draco is made of light metal and has an open-back, but with a rather characteristic back vent that is covered by a plastic grill. This lends to the sleekness of its appearance. The faceplate is flat and has very subtly rounded edges, further adding to this aesthetic. The stock cable is so so. Could be better considering the price.
Fit and Comfort
The Draco's ergonomic form and light weight ensure extended listening comfort. The stock tips aren't good either. They can't provide neither good sound nor good seal Tip rolling is recommended for good sound a secure and comfortable seal. I used EP00 & EP01 tips by ePro. They fitted and sealed well in my ears as well as providing good sound.

Overview: The TRI Draco IEM presents a balanced sound signature that appeals to a wide range of listeners. The overall presentation is smooth and non-fatiguing with emphasis on retrieval of detail and natural timbre.
Bass: Well-controlled and tight bass response, with sufficient punch and speed that never overpowers the midrange. While probably not quite enough to satisfy true bassheads. It provides an adequate foundation for most genres of music. The sub-bass extension is moderate, lending some depth to the low end without clouding clarity.
Midrange: The midrange is the star of the TRI Draco and delivers a luscious & detailed sound. Vocals are presented naturally with great resolution and a nice balance between body and texture. Male and female vocals are reproduced well; light subtleties and emotional expression come through clearly.
Treble: The treble is transparently detailed and extended. It tends to sparkle very well without being too bright or fatiguing. It is not the most forgiving of treble presentations, but it's clear and precise for the soundstage.
Soundstage and Imaging: The TRI Draco boasts a wide and immersive soundstage that exceeds the head on all sides. Imaging is very accurate. Instruments and vocals take their rightful place within the soundstage. Therefore, a three-dimensional listen that is engaging and true-to-life is achieved with this device.
Final Thoughts
The TRI Draco IEM is a well-engineered product that yields a well-balanced and detailed sound signature for the price. This is a pretty versatile pair of earphones that will handle a big genre of music with ease. It's very well-suited for both audiophiles and plain music lovers except bassheads.Last edited:
