500+ Head-Fier
Introduction – Read Heath Audio (or RHA for short) are soon to release their latest and greatest earphone, the T10i.  Much like the rest of RHA’s products, the T10i’s were designed to offer premium portable listening for consumers and audio enthusiasts. Their new models features an all new handmade dynamic driver (model 770.1 compared to the previous 560.1 model in the MA750i) and interchangeable custom tuning filters not found in any other mid-tier IEM except the $300 Astrotec AX-60. Such a system is typically only found in top-tier universals costing nearly five times that of the T10i putting them in the likes of the Shure SE846 and AKG K3003i with that feature alone. It would be easy, then, to think RHA have tuned the T10i’s for a typical “audiophile” sound signature, but that wouldn’t entirely be true as  you’ll discover later. The T10i’s look very promising, then, but the question is, are they any good? Read on and find out.

Disclaimer – These are demo units provided to me for the purpose of this review. I am not paid by or affiliated with RHA in any way. Big thanks to Iain Smith and the entire RHA Team for letting me be one of only three people to review your product before its release, I am deeply humbled by the opportunity. All images belong to me.

Specifications:
- Dynamic Driver (model 770.1)
- Frequency range: 16-22000Hz
- Impedance: 16 ohm
- Sensitivity: 100db
- Rated/ Max power: 1/5mW
- Weight: 41g
- Cable: Multicore OFC, iOS compatible remote, 1.35 meters/4.4 ft.
- Warranty: 3 years

 
Packaging & Accessories – In these past few years RHA have been busy working up the best solution for their higher-end IEMs (i.e. the MA750i and T10i) since both share the same assortment of high quality accessories. Inside are 10 pairs of ear tips in 3 varieties: 6 pairs “dual density” tips (S/M/L x2), 2 pairs double-flange tips (S/M), and 2 pairs of memory foam tips (universal) all held together in a solid stainless steel tray. Also included are a shirt clip, a heavy stainless steel tuning filter holder with indicators, and a soft leather carrying case with two straps inside that holds the tip tray securely in place.
 
_DSC4020.jpg_DSC4017.jpg_DSC4063.jpg
 
All of this is packaged within a relatively small box that’s covered in information about the earphone in both English and French and four other languages on the back. Opening the magnetized front flap displays the earphones, its cable, ear tips, tuning filters, and even more information underneath. As a whole, the packaging and accessories RHA have included is quite impressive. I can confidently announce that all the R&D RHA put into the T10i has definitely paid off.
 
_DSC4065.jpg_DSC4069.jpg_DSC4099.jpg
 
Build & Design – The stainless steel housings for the T10i were made using a metal injection molding (MIM) process that requires the housings be heated at 1300°C for “up to ten hours to ensure the steel is the correct shape and density”. The result is of this complex process is a housing that is stiff enough to withstand years of heavy use yet comfortable enough for long hours of wear. The design of the T10i’s, from the housings down to the 3.5mm jack, is durable and luxurious at the same time. Little details like the writing on the Y-split and 3.5mm jack are reminders of the attention the detail RHA put into the design and it ensures exceptional quality. The long, springy strain relief on the jack feels solid and bendable if a little long. The cable itself is very soft, never retains kinks and is just as well built as the earphones themselves. Overall, the firm, tank-like feel of the housings and their sleek, elegant design make the T10i’s a joy to use and admire. (You also wouldn’t bother being too careful with that 3 year warranty either).

Comfort & Fit – With their over-ear design and Westone-like body, the T10i’s are incredibly comfortable to wear. The housings are a little on the large side in terms of width but won’t become a problem for most wearers. And though they are weighty, due to stainless steel comprising the entire housing, they never become fatiguing even for long periods of use. This combined with their narrow nozzles and large selection of ear tips means they should be easy for people with small ear canals. The ear-hooks are a little difficult to use, however, as they tend to do the opposite of what was originally intended. Because they retain their shape so well they also fall out of place when sitting down or when they haven’t been adjusted exactly for your ears. This means removing or storing them away will sometimes require you to adjust them all over again, which might become a problem for some.
 
That is not to say they’re uncomfortable, because they’re not. This has been the only earphone I can comfortably wear to sleep. And despite the relatively large size and density of the housings they virtually disappear in the ear. With smooth, rounded edges they are always easy to insert and remove as well. However, the cable cinch is another issue with this particular model (i.e. the “i” model) as it only rises up to the point of the iOS remote and is just a little too low for me and doesn’t provide enough tension for a very secure hold. That said, the T10i has proven to be the most comfortable earphone I’ve used to date and is likely to afford anyone else the same ease of use.
 
Isolation & Microphonics – The T10i’s provide surprisingly good isolation despite having a large vent for the dynamic driver. Users shouldn’t expect high levels of attenuation, just enough to keep background noises where they should be - in the background. Outdoor environments never become distracting and generally remain quiet when listening to music. I did notice, however, that low frequency noises like thumps, bangs, and even cars on the street were fairly noticeable. This may be an issue for those who want absolute silence but those looking for a safe commute should have no worries.  
 
As far as cable noise in concerned, the T10i’s have as little cable noise as one could desire, that is, very little. The cable avoids sounding rough when rubbed and bouncy when moving or walking. This, along with their useful isolation adds to the desired portability RHA had in mind for the T10i’s.

Sound----------​

 
Equipment & Background – For the sound portion of this review I will be using an Audinst HUD-MX1 amp/DAC combo as my primary “reference” source, a Topping NX-1 portable amplifier, and a Sansa Fuze as a portable source. All my impressions are done indoors with an over-ear headphone for added isolation resulting in almost silent listening with no audible distractions. My library consists of FLAC and high bit-rate MP3 files. The T10i’s have also received over 200hrs of burn-in before review.
The following impressions were done using the neutral/“reference” filter. Comparisons with the bass and treble filters will be directly below.
 
Bass – One word that can easily describe the T10i’s bass is POWER. The T10i utilizes a generally bass heavy, L-shaped sound signature overall and it becomes obvious upon first listen. It’s a heavy, full bass that acts as the primary driving force behind its sound and can dominate over the remaining midrange and treble. And while it never actually bleeds into the mids, it makes its presence known more than anything else. However, that is not to say the bass is low quality because it’s not. Lows are well-rounded with more mid-bass than sub-bass, impact is punchy and hard-hitting, decay is strong and reverberant, extension is limitless, and yet the T10i never sounds sloppy or excessively rich. There is a touch of boom at times but it depends entirely on genre and the bass heaviness of a song. This is likely due to the mid-bass lift that keeps lows from sounding consistent from top-to-bottom. But the impact it generates does balance well with the slow decay that follows powerful bass notes. The lows of the T10i are a crucial part of its signature since they’ll be the reason some users will be turned-off by their sheer weight and fullness while others will be drawn to them for their fun, engaging nature. (Some people might even become full-on bass-heads after they hear ‘em too). 
biggrin.gif

 
Midrange – The mids, unlike the bass, are much more relaxed and slightly recessed when compared directly next to each other. As I said before, there is no bass bleed into the midrange but the lower-mids do exhibit a thickness that follows the upper-bass quite well. Unlike some earphones that are slightly thin in this area (especially many neutral sets) the T10i’s mids are warm and smooth throughout. They don’t display any sign of harshness or edginess and stay relatively consistent and laid-back overall. Upper-mids are a little bit forward, however, which is a welcome coloration for such a warm signature. This (mild) boost in the upper-mids works hand-in-hand with the thicker lower-midrange making the T10i suitable for vocalists of all sorts. However, it should be said that female vocals are lacking in clarity (partly due to laid-back treble) and male vocals are lacking in detail (partly due to slightly chesty lower-mids). This isn’t a negative as much as it is a result of the general character of the T10i’s themselves, but it’s worth mentioning as some will appreciate (or at least accept) this coloration more than others. For what it is, the midrange is a very impressive part of the T10i’s frequency range as it is very engaging despite the bass being the main attention grabber.    
 
Treble – The T10i’s treble shares a lot with the midrange, in that it shares more of the relaxed qualities that make the mids so easygoing. While it isn’t as present as frequencies below it (especially the bass), treble is equally rewarding in its ability to swathe the listener in smoothness. But because of this, the T10i loses out in detail and extension making it slightly dull at times. Sparkle and decay are not its strong suit, either, and this is especially apparent with rock and metal genres where cymbals are in need of a little more life. The upside to this is that highs never become splashy or harsh (ditto the mids). This may be taken as a negative for treble lovers, whom I do not recommend the T10i, but it will be satisfying enough for those who typically prefer softer, less dynamic treble and those who are overly sensitive to it. Now, it’s easy to get the impression that the highs on the T10i are boring or mediocre but that isn’t the case. Instead, they’re perfectly balanced with the midrange and simply present themselves in a more delicate than manner than most IEMs, especially V-shaped IEMs. So while they certainly won’t suit a classical/orchestral music lover they should be more than satisfying for anyone else.
 
Presentation – This is definitely a strength of the T10i’s for a couple of reasons. Imaging, for a start, is very well executed and makes for easy  localization of sounds within music that never get too out of place. This is helped, in part, by the soundstage capabilities of the T10i. While not extraordinarily large, the soundstage is well rounded and consistent in both width and depth. Spatial cues are not thrown far outside the head but are kept relatively proportioned to depth and a good distance away from the listener, but again, not too far either. The result is an average sized soundstage with good imaging and decent layering to boot.
 
As I mentioned earlier, however, detail and clarity are not particularly special areas of the T10i’s presentation. When coming from clearer, more linear IEMs the T10i can sound congested and a little uncontrolled at times. This isn’t much of a surprise considering this is a bass heavy headphone but the thickness of the mids and limited extension of the treble masks detail and dulls transparency. Therefore, those looking for a revealing headphone should definitely look elsewhere, but that’s to be expected with this particular sound signature.
 
Bass & Treble Filters – This is a crucial area for the T10i’s because it’s a major selling point for the earphone and a statement for the brand. What I hear with the bass and treble filters compared to the reference filter is quite different than I first imagined - not bad, just unexpected. The frequency graph for the T10i is (conveniently) on the inside of the box and states that the filters only increase bass and treble frequencies by 3dBs each, starting below 200Hz for bass and above 1kHz for treble. My impressions proved that this is partially correct but doesn’t tell the whole story.
 
With the grey bass filter on it’s difficult to tell the difference between them and the reference filters as they sound fairly indistinguishable at first. However, when listening more intently it becomes obvious that the bass has even more weight, thickness, and fullness than before, especially in the sub-bass region where decay and extension are limitless. The reference filter, on the other hand, focuses more on mid-bass than anything else and feels punchier as a result. That’s not to say that it’s as powerful as the bass filter, however, because it’s not. Instead, the bass filter simply outputs as much bass as the T10i can hurl at you without any EQ. But at the same time it loses out in detail and control which are handled better with the reference filter.  
 
The yellow treble filter is completely different in terms of changing and adjusting the T10i’s sound. Instead of reducing detail (like the bass filter does) the treble filter adds extension, clarity, and sparkle up top as well as adding more presence overall. Cymbals become more lively, female vocals are clearer (something the bass and reference filters were lacking), and highs are more pleasant as a result. And this happens without sacrificing too much the smooth nature of the highs as well. Even down below, bass is just a touch cleaner and more controlled than the reference. This configuration is the most rewarding of all the filters as it brings out the best of the T10i’s as a whole, not just a mere 3dBs of treble presence.  
 
Despite their names (and corresponding purpose) the filter setup of the T10i’s perform slightly different than RHA may have intended but it definitely works. Put simply, the reference filter achieves a sound closer to the bass filter but with less bass bloat and more control while the treble filter is the clearest, most balanced, and the most engaging from top-to-bottom. And since it’s possible to view the internals of the filters under bright light, there is proof as to why this is the case. Inside the two reference and bass filters is a soft dampening material that is present mostly in the bass filter, a little less in the reference, and missing completely in the treble filter. This explains why the first two are so similar and the last is so different, or at least, this is my theory. But despite these details, the T10i’s do have enough flexibility to please any user who desires to adjust the behavior (not the signature) of their earphone while not sacrificing quality. This is a testament to RHA’s efforts and development and a very good first attempt at such a design.
 
Sensitivity & Source Performance –  RHA market the T10i’s as portable friendly and they’re right. Any source can power it well, be it a phone (don’t forget the remote), a dedicated amplifier, or DAP. There is little variation in sound quality between sources as well, which demonstrates their usability and general user friendliness. While the 16 Ohm impedance helps with sensitivity it doesn’t prevent hiss with noisier sources so be wary of high-output devices.
 
Value – RHA have made an earphone like nothing else in the mid-tier category with their concept and design. The T10i is a very appealing earphone with beautiful housings, custom tuning filters, and good sound quality but isn’t without it faults. The ear hooks can become frustrating at times and its bass tilted signature will limit its audience. However, it makes up for this with outstanding build quality, an incredible 3 year warranty, a comfortable and luxurious design, an imperfect but still very useful tuning system, and a smooth sound that can put you to sleep or make you jam out to anything. All of this in a well thought out, beautiful package makes the RHA T10i’s a great competitor in today’s rough market and for that they get my full recommendation.

@juliojlo did you consider the ma 750i? I have both at the moment and I'd say the 750 would suit a wide genre of music while being very good for me in EDM, rock, metal, pop, etc. :wink:
I'd pass on the t10i and probably consider t20is.

Introduction – The TTPOD T1 is a recent entry into the growing market of dual-dynamic earphones. Selling for only $35 at Penon Audio, the T1’s are the cheapest of all current dual-dynamic IEMs on the market and fall right within the budget category. With tough competition from the likes of the Havi B3 Pro-1’s, the MOE Audio SS01 (which shares a similar design), and the much more expensive Brainwavz R3 the T1’s seem a little out of place comparatively. But low cost doesn’t equal low value which is exactly the case here - they proved to be worth more than their price would suggest even next to other highly respected, high-performance headphones. But they will suit some more than others and that will depend entirely on taste. To see if they suit you, read on and find out!

Disclaimer – These are the standard T1’s, not to be confused with the pricier, “enhanced” T1-E. My pair was purchased at discount in exchange for this review. I am not affiliated with TTPOD or Penon Audio and will be as unbiased as possible in this review. All images are mine.

_DSC3858.jpg_DSC3860.jpg
 
Packaging & Accessories: The T1’s come packaged within a sturdy brown box with a silver logo on the front and specifications on the back, which were off center for some reason. Once the box is open you’ll find an opaque TTPOD cover that prepares you for the earphones inside. Beyond it lays each earpiece and two pairs of white ear tips which are presented above a Chinese logo. Opening the box was quite pleasant as you must get through multiple layers to remove all the contents of the box. Included is an all Chinese warranty card and user manual, a soft grey carrying pouch, a shirt clip, and 9 pairs of ear tips all of varying sizes and materials. The standard white silicone tips come in three sizes at two different lengths making for 6 pairs while the red, blue, and yellow tips utilize a stiffer, seemingly hybrid design. Kudos to TTPOD for making such a simplistic well thought out package.

Build & Design: It becomes obvious upon first inspection that the design of the T1 is highly reminiscent of the Sennheiser IE800, except for the obvious size difference. That said, the T1’s are made from solid, lightweight plastic and feel very sturdy in the hand. The transparent colors available for the T1’s make it easy to view the drivers and wiring inside each housing which is most apparent in a clear/translucent pair like mine. Inside, each driver sits divided against the nozzle where both frequency bands meet. The silver cable compliments the clear housings and is rugged and well relieved at every end. However, it can be a little unwieldy in use and while in rarely retains kinks it twists anytime it’s unraveled. Overall, the T1 is a very stylish earphone with excellent build quality to boot.
 
_DSC3931.jpg_DSC3923.jpg
 
Comfort & Fit: Due to their large housings and short nozzles the T1’s can cause some discomfort in the ear. The size of your ear will affect comfort more than anything as smaller ears will result in a shallow fit and moderate soreness while larger ears will have the exact opposite effect.  The main source of discomfort is caused by the small hump on the housing facing the antitragus in the outer-ear. This particular area can be upset when pressure is applied for long periods of time, but again, will only affect those wish small ears if anyone at all, so not a huge knock on comfort. The only negative is that they cannot be worn over-ear unless the left & right channels are switched.
 
Isolation & Microphonics: Since they are meant to born cable-down the T1 can become a little noisy when in motion. The included cinch prevents the cable from bouncing around but it doesn’t prevent rubbing noises that distract at times. The noisiest part of the cable, in fact, is the cinch itself which is most obvious when sliding it up & down. Isolation, on the other hand, is about average, only blocking out some ambient noise. Outdoor environments will not disappear when wearing the T1’s but should be safe for commuting and make it very easy to communicate when worn. This should come as no surprise considering their shallow insertion depth and hollow housings. Overall the T1’s provide satisfactory (and safe) noise isolation and acceptable microphonics for everyday use.  
 
----------Sound----------
 
Equipment & Background – For the sound portion of this review I will be using an Audinst HUD-MX1 amp/DAC combo as my primary “reference” source, a Topping NX-1 portable amplifier, and a Sansa Fuze as a portable source. All my impressions are done indoors with an over-ear headphone for added isolation resulting in almost silent listening with no audible distractions. My library consists of FLAC and high bit-rate MP3 files. The T1’s were also burned-in over 100hrs before review.
 
Bass: The T1’s have a mid-forward and somewhat bright sound signature with moderately energetic bass. Lows are not very powerful, lacking weight with bassy music but still very neural with adequate impact. Since they’re not warm or enhanced this prevents bleed into the midrange but also keeps the upper-bass shy, making male vocals a little thin. Extension is good but still limited with noticeable roll-off into sub-bass regions. The result of all this means bass is fast, well textured, and moderately punchy when necessary with excellent control. There is also no mid-bass hump typical with most earphones on the market. This may or may not please heavier music lovers especially those who listen to metal, EDM, rap, hip-hop, etc. The T1’s simply provide more detail than raw power and never grab your attention like the mids or highs.
Bass is definitely not the focus of the T1’s sound but it is well balanced and high quality enough for most listeners, just not for bass-heads.

 
Midrange: Following the bass, the mids are forward and upfront. Midrange presence is the primary focus of the T1’s sound with treble not far behind. The result is a very clear, vocal enhanced sound that displays incredible clarity throughout. This is mostly due to an upper-mid lift (and lack of lower-mid warmth) that allows for excellent vocal intelligibility while sometimes causing the T1 to sound artificial and thin for male vocals (brought on by lack of upper-bass as well) and a little bright for female vocals. The upper-mid lift and boosted clarity also leads to a somewhat harsh sound that can become fatiguing over long periods of time or at loud volumes. But this is not to say the midrange is bad, to the contrary it’s the exact opposite. The T1’s midrange is much higher quality than $35 would get you - especially as mid forward sets are hard to come by. The T1’s are best suited for mid-focused/acoustic genres, which is not easy to say at this price range.
 
Treble: Much like the midrange, treble is enhanced reflecting some of the same characteristics found with the added clarity in the upper-mids. Treble is, thus, high in clarity and good in detail but, again, mostly due to enhancement. Highs maintain a generally non-sibilant nature but are a little splashy at times especially with percussive instruments such as crash cymbals. Treble doesn’t extended very high with some roll-off into the upper-treble but is still airy enough to avoid sounding congested or closed-in. Highs are too grainy to every be called smooth and can become a little shrill at times (and harsh with brighter recordings too). Despite having good sparkle the T1’s don’t display the most accurate tonal characteristics with harshness setting in whenever treble is demanded too much. And while timbre isn’t perfect the T1’s are generally more accurate than darker sets that are too recessed and lifeless up top to call natural. So while treble is very present and engaging it does suffer slightly with brighter music but should easily appeal to treble lovers.
 
Presentation: The T1’s soundstage “dimensions” are best described as having very good width, good height, and decent depth. Despite the lack of depth, layering is surprisingly good making it easy to differentiate between close and distant instruments in a recording. Music will never sound too far away, however, due to the forward, “in-your-face” nature of the mids and treble. This gives the impression of sitting close to performers on stage and puts you in the front row with music being generally being closer to you than far away. However, there is still a decent amount of space surrounding instruments and fairly wide projection of spatial cues. The T1’s are not the most detailed, despite their excellent clarity, leaving micro-details behind a little. Overall, the T1’s forward signature blends well with its intimate presentation and would complement a warmer, more laid-back headphone very well.
 
Power, Sensitivity, and Source Performance: Being such a high sensitivity and low impedance earphone the T1 is drivable by any source be it a portable DAP, tablet, phone, or dedicated amplifier. The T1’s don’t improve dramatically with amplification either. However, as I discovered they are sensitive to hiss so choosing an appropriate source can become a little tricky. While potential hiss won’t be too loud or distracting, I’d suggest using a low-output device and not a separate amplifier unless it has been designed for high-sensitivity IEMs. Otherwise, the T1’s are very usable and easy to drive.    
 
Value: With so many V-shaped sets being so common the TTPOD T1 presents excellent value and a unique presentation for the price. Excellent packaging, plentiful accessories, great build, stylish design, fantastic color selection and high quality sound makes the T1 very special and an excellent value proposition, even if their signature doesn’t suit everyone. Most buyers will be hard pressed to find a quality mid-forward earphone at only $35. I recommend them to anyone searching for a non-traditional earphone or anyone who wishes to discover if a mid-forward signature is for them. If not, they’re still worth trying out!

P.S. If you want the perfect complement to the TTPOD T1, I’d recommend meeting its “fun” sibling, the TTPOD T1-E.

500+ Head-Fier
Introduction – As the top-of-the-line earphone of the young company Brainwavz, the R3 has a quite a lot on its shoulders. Utilizing a relatively new dual-dynamic driver configuration, uncommon with most headphones on the market, Brainwavz has chosen this design for its very best headphone. Bold as it is, this design has been successful in many budget-based sets such as the Havi B3 Pro-1 and TTPOD’s T1 series. The R3’s, then, promise a lot considering they cost twice and even three times as much as the aforementioned earphones. So do they deliver for the price? The answer is yes… and no. But this is best explained throughout my review so if you’re interested, simply read on and find out why.

Packaging & Accessories: The R3’s have slightly unconventional packaging that presents the headphones and its cable through clear plastic windows on either side of the box. Inside you’ll find a plethora of tips (9 pairs in total) which include 6 pairs of single-flange silicone tips (3 pairs gray, 3 pairs black), a single pair of bi-flange and triple-flange tips, and a pair of Comply T500 tips. Also included is a ¼ inch adapter, a hard zip-case, and a 1-year warranty card (box says 2 years, don’t know which to believe). Brainwavz has been very generous with their accessories and deserve credit for being thoughtful with their ear tips.

Build & Design: Brainwavz has gone very out-of-the-box with the design of the R3. They’ve used a tubular housing for the drivers and a 90° angle nozzle that sticks straight out of the center. This means each driver faces each other within a divided enclosure and each band of frequencies meet inside the nozzle creating a uniform sound. Internal details aside, the aluminum housings feel extremely rugged throughout. However, cable quality is questionable. The 4-inch black portion of the cable is higher quality than the remaining grey section and is the only part that doesn’t suffer from kinks or memory. But since most of the cable does, it’s a wonder why Brainwavz didn’t just make the entire cable consistent (or thinner for that matter). But this is nitpicking because the R3’s seem very durable. The real problems come when wearing the R3’s.

Comfort & Fit: I have small ears, which means I also have problems with earphones, even the most comfortable. Brainwavz sought to remedy this dilemma for those like me but haven’t entirely succeeded. The R3’s are utilize an over-ear design but the housings are heavy and the nozzles are large. This causes them to fall out of place and need adjustment often. Strain reliefs are a bit stiff below the housings (fine on the Y-split & 3.5mm jack) and combined with their vertical position the cable very tricky to place behind the ear, as they were intended. But the worst part is the cable that is simply too thick and heavy for an IEM. The sheer weight and size of the cable can make it cumbersome and difficult to wear under clothing (also due to its rubbery texture). When worn with the right ear tips the R3’s are relatively comfortable but suffer from their awkward design and cable. With this in mind, the R3’s will suit some but definitely not others, so be cautious if your ears have given you trouble in the past.          
 
Microphonics: For such a large cable, microphonics were not as bad as I expected. Cable noise is well controlled when worn over-ear but is fairly distracting cable-down. The included cinch does a good job of keeping cable noise down in either configuration too. 
 
Isolation: There is a surprising level of noise attenuation when wearing the R3’s. They isolate very well outdoors and reduce environmental noise enough for non-distractive (but safe) listening. I consider this a strength of the R3’s overall.
 ​
----------Sound----------
 
Equipment & Background – For the sound portion of this review I will be using an Audinst HUD-MX1 amp/DAC combo as my primary “reference” source, a Topping NX-1 portable amplifier, and a Sansa Fuze as a portable source. All my impressions are done indoors with an over-ear headphone for added isolation resulting in almost silent listening with no audible distractions. My library consists of FLAC and high bit-rate MP3 files. The R3’s were also burned-in over 100hrs before review.
 
Bass: With a mid-forward sound signature the bass on the R3’s are not boosted or enhanced like many V-shaped sets on the market. Instead, lows are much mellower and have a pleasant musical warmth throughout. And while they don’t extend too far down there is enough sub-bass for an engaging listen. Bass is tight, controlled, and well-rounded and never once feels loose or bloated. However, it should be noted that the lows on the R3 are fairly soft in nature which means they won’t deliver the same visceral impact compared to sets with large mid-bass humps. That said, bass is always engaging and very punchy when required. Smoothness is another quality of the bass that becomes noticeable with fast, heavy music genres (those of which are not entirely suited for the R3). But those who prefer a mid-forward signature will appreciate the manner with which the R3’s handle bass notes. They are never distracting and don’t steal the attention of the listener; they provide enough energy to strike an excellent balance with the midrange and treble. Bass reproduction is one of the biggest strengths of the R3’s (in my opinion) due to their laid-back presence.
 
Mids: Moving upwards, the midrange holds a good few surprises. As mentioned before, the R3’s are mid forward overall. But this does not make them fatiguing or offensive to listen to as many other users have experienced with many other mid forward sets. Instead, the R3’s mids are not aggressive or rich, just forward enough to focus its sound on one particular part of the frequency spectrum. The primary advantage here are mids that are both clear and smooth. The balance between the two is obvious but the mids generally lean towards smoothness more than anything else. Vocalists demonstrate this best as they lack detail in parts of both the lower and upper-midrange; Both male and female vocalist suffer the effects of this coloration which was likely created by frequency dips in both regions. In terms of quality, the midrange is neither lifelike nor is it the most natural. Despite this there is no lack of finesse to the mids, just slightly lacking in accuracy. It will easily satisfy all but the extreme detail lover with its creamy, effortless nature but it won’t please anybody in sheer quality alone.     
 
Treble: The last piece of the (frequency) puzzle lies in the R3’s treble. Highs are, yet again, very smooth but also more revealing and detailed than any frequencies below it. While not bright, there is an unexpected level of clarity up top considering the soft, genial character of the bass and midrange. Details come through with percussive instruments with natural timbre and good sparkle but without harshness. This lack of harshness prevents any sibilance from occurring even with the most aggressive vocalists and the worst recordings. Extension is considerably impressive as well, with frequencies extending up to 15kHz and gently rolling-off afterwards. And although consistency is lacking in areas, the treble is still up to par with more expensive earphones in its price range. For what it does best (i.e. bass) and what its focus is (i.e. mids), the top end of the R3’s are surprisingly good; They can suit the needs of almost any listener and any genre.
 
Presentation: The R3’s present their sound in a way that’s both engaging and involving. Soundstage is a little predictable for a mid-centric IEM as it has a tendency to place vocals and most of the midrange very close to the listener. This gives the effect of having music performed directly in front of you, but not in a way that it becomes tiring over time. The result is a soundstage with only average depth overall. Height is improved over depth but width is where the R3’s begin to open up. Wide spatial cues are thrown out far on either side of the head while still maintaining easy localization. The result is an intimate presentation that is more spacious than their sound signature would suggest. Bass is centered, vocals are intimate, treble is airy, and music is simply a joy to experience. Most will find their unique presentation and signature very pleasant no matter what genre of music preferred.
 
Ear Tips & Insertion Sensitivity: The R3’s can be a little picky with ear tips as their nozzle is a slightly larger than average. Even the included tips require a little force to fit onto the nozzle. But this doesn’t inhibit tip-rolling with the R3’s as they are quite flexible. Sound can be adjusted to have either a thicker, warmer sound or a more neutral one depending on the tip fitted: Single flanges will achieve the former while the included double-flanges will achieve the latter. And since insertion is neither shallow nor deep some tips will stay in place and others will not. As mentioned in the Comfort & Fit section, this will depend on your ears more than anything else.  
 
Power, Sensitivity, and Source Performance: The R3’s are a very drivable earphone that respond well with most sources. Low output devices should have no trouble driving them although they may require a little more volume to acquire listenable levels. A more powerful source, such as a dedicated amplifier, will yield better results in terms of volume and quality.
 
Value: For $129 the Brainwavz R3 is a peculiar earphone that combines an unusual design with a consumer friendly sound. The R3 balances a mid-forward signature with a wide presentation but loses out in areas of detail and accuracy. But its main weakness is its design and fit. Their tubular housings are difficult to wear for long periods without adjustment and that’s if they’re comfortable to begin with. The cable’s large profile also causes issues as it prevents the R3’s from fitting inside a pant pocket, making them a little inconvenient to transport. Overall however, the R3 is still relatively good value if you can get past its flaws. And if you enjoy a smooth, musical sound you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise.

Nice review ..well done

500+ Head-Fier
Introduction – So a few weeks into my search and discovery of budget-based earphones has led me here - to the Xiaomi Piston 2.1. The Pistons are the result of the popular Chinese smartphone manufacture’s efforts to produce an inexpensive high performance earphone that competes well with higher-end audio gear. At only $25 the Pistons fall within the “budget” category for most people but whether they perform well enough to justify their price is another question. And for those wondering if they do… the short answer is yes, they do, and they do it well. I’ll explain throughout my review what makes the Pistons such a good value proposition and a great starting point for amateur enthusiasts.   
 
Disclaimer – The Pistons used in this review are mine and were purchased from Amazon.com. My pair is authentic but all buyers must be warned to avoid Pistons costing below $20 as they are likely to be fakes. All photos were taken by me. Important Notice: The green "review detail" graphs to the left are inaccurate for some unknown reason. Here is an ACCURATE representation of these five details: Audio Quality (9/10), Comfort (7/10), Design (9/10), Isolation (6/10), and Value (10/10).
 
Specifications: 
- Beryllium alloy Dynamic driver (single, vented/ported)
- Impedance: 16 Ohms
- Sensitivity: 93dB
- Frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz
- Rated Input Power: 5mW
- Cable: Enamel copper line, 1.2 meters/3.9 ft.
- Android/iOS compatible remote
- Colors: Brown & Silver

Packaging & Accessories: The Pistons are packaged beautifully in a brown square case that presents the earphones, the cable, and 3.5mm jack through a shiny translucent cover. Opening the case is like opening a tiny box of Belgian truffles – a light chocolaty aroma is the first thing you notice, which is a nice touch. The earphones are wrapped around a soft rubber case with additional ear tips just below. Each tip sits within a small plastic spike with a size indicator between them and an aluminum shirt clip resting directly on top. The included accessories are quite minimal but can be forgiven considering the price and presentation.

Build & Design: With large metal housings the Pistons feel solid in the hand and are much lighter than expected, despite their size. The chocolate brown and light gold color scheme complement each other well and the “CD grain” texture on the aluminum remote, jack, and housings is smooth to the touch. The cable is rubber above the remote/Y-split and entirely fabric below it. This design helps prevent kinks and makes the Pistons feel a little more durable overall. Strain reliefs on the housings are very flexible but are fairly short below the Y-split and 3.5mm jack. But due to their thin, flexible cables the Pistons can easily be wrapped and tossed into a small pocket or case for maximum portability. Users should operate with caution as the Pistons have been known to break after extensive/rough use. On appearance alone, however, it’s no wonder why the Pistons received the iF Product Design Award when you consider Xiaomi’s thoughtful design and packaging – it’s well deserved.

Comfort & Fit: This is a tricky area for the Pistons as their large profile will cause trouble for some. Housings are wide and the nozzle is short so an easy fit is not always easy to get. However, only little adjustment is required to achieve a secure seal. The edges on both sides of the housings are fairly rough and could be problematic for those with smaller ears. The only issue I encountered was never feeling a pressure change in my ear when the Pistons were inserted, unlike most other earphones. This is most likely caused by the large port behind the housing but it doesn’t affect fit, just isolation (see below). And while they do utilize a cable-down design, they can easily be worn over-ear due to their soft strain reliefs – either configuration should yield good results.  
Microphonics: Cable noise is distracting when worn cable-down but easily acceptable when worn over-ear. The rubber on the left and right sides are the only noisy part of the entire cable. There is no noise from the from below the Y-split/remote thanks to its fabric exterior. That said, there is no cable cinch to remedy the noise where it occurs.
 
Isolation: This is probably the only real shortcoming of the Pistons. Isolation is mediocre and won’t silence most noisy environments. As I mentioned earlier, the larger-than-normal port keeps the Pistons from having a closed design making them “open-back” in a sense. But if this one compromise is part of the reason they perform so well, than it is justified. Just keep reading...

----------Sound----------
 
Equipment & Background – For the sound portion of this review I will be using an Audinst HUD-MX1 amp/DAC combo as my primary “reference” source, a Topping NX-1 portable amplifier, and a Sansa Fuze as a portable source. All my monitoring is done indoors with an over-ear headphone for added isolation resulting in almost silent listening with no audible distractions. My library consists of high bit-rate MP3s and FLAC files. The Pistons were burned-in over 100hrs before review.
 
Bass: Utilizing a somewhat bass heavy sound signature the Pistons exhibit more mid-bass and sub-bass presence than in upper-bass regions. This generates a very “fun” sound without suffering any bleed into the lower midrange. Lows are impactful and carry a lot of heft which is in part due to their excellent sub-bass extension. And while not overdone on tracks with soft or mellow bass, the Pistons can become boomy with bass heavy music such as rap, drum ’n bass, and so on. That said, bass never becomes sloppy or loose, it simply lacks control and finesse at times. Attack and decay could be more accurate especially considering the long reverb of bass notes (this could be considered a positive for bass-heads however). Overall, bass is the most authoritative part of the Piston’s signature but isn’t entirely the focus of the sound as everything that follows takes it up a notch in quality.
 
Mids: Following the bass, the midrange takes a big step back in terms of presence but is incredibly clear and well defined throughout. And since its mids are not especially forward they could be considered slightly recessed. But this entirely depends on preference as they’re neither distant nor forward. However, clarity is by far the biggest strength of the midrange which can be demonstrated with female vocalists where they exhibit an almost lifelike quality. On the other hand, male vocalists can sound a little thin due to the lack of extra warmth in the lower midrange and upper-bass. But this is no way a negative unless you enjoy very thick/rich male vocals. The advantage of a slightly leaner midrange means that note thickness is never overdone and helps maintain a natural timbre for acoustic instruments, which the Pistons do quite well. And while not the most revealing of mids, detail and transparency is extremely good considering the price.
 
Treble: At the top end, treble has a bit more presence than the mids but isn’t bright by any means. Treble does exhibit some unevenness at times but is never distracting or fatiguing. Instead, they strike a balance between smooth and sparkly without losing out in crispness or clarity. Details are retrieved nicely without any sign of harshness making for a non-sibilant sound overall. And with its mild lift in the treble region the Pistons display excellent timbre reproduction and great accuracy with cymbals/percussion. Extension reaches into the upper-treble and is very consistent until it rolls-off beyond frequencies of about 16kHz. Overall, the Pistons have mildly energetic treble that are never dominant or excessive and keeps up in quality next to the midrange. There is a particularly refreshing manner with which the Pistons handles treble and it is noticeable upon first listen; I think most listeners will be pleasantly surprised.
 
Presentation: In terms of soundstage the Pistons present a very wide stereo image with very good depth and decent height. This particular presentation is why the mids and highs shine - There is detail and space surrounding instruments throughout the midrange and airy highs throughout the treble resulting in a somewhat “out-of-the-head” experience. And while not the deepest presentation, layering is excellent when reproducing vast distances between sounds with complex recordings. Imaging, too, is never confused or off-center even with the Pistons’ expansive soundstage. The result is an open, spacious sound that is only mildly held back by the sheer amount of bass that kicks in with certain genres of music. This is an area where the Pistons truly demonstrate their worth by simply taking whatever goes into them and combining an engaging sound signature that pairs beautifully within its audiophile-like delivery.  
 
Ear-tips & Insertions sensitivity: I found that the Pistons are not too fiddly to insert and keep in place. However, they are limited in terms of tip selection due to their wide nozzles. Tips with small or even medium sized sound bores will not fit unless they’re forced, but I don’t recommend that. This shouldn’t be an issue for most users but those who prefer to adjust their sound through tip-rolling will be disappointed.
 
Power, Sensitivity, & Source performance: Despite their 93dB rating, the Pistons have to be one of the most sensitive earphones I have ever used. They are easily driven by any portable device (which should also pair well with the included remote) and can be driven to extremely loud volumes without any additional power. Quality isn’t lost without an amplifier which allows them to perform their best with almost any device as well. The only downside is that there is a noticeable hiss with anything other than very low-output sources.
 
Value: At only 25$ the Xiaomi Piston 2.1 is exceptional value for what it is. As a budget value earphone it exceeds every expectation its low price would suggest. It’s energetic and lively where it needs to be yet smooth and laid-back at the same time. It also borrows some of the best sound characteristics of earphones costing well beyond 3 times its price. Its build, package, and design are beautifully executed too. And if you don’t mind its lack of accessories or its mediocre isolation, it is without a doubt one of the best packages you’ll ever come across. So whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned reviewer give them a shot. You have nothing to lose - except maybe a couple bucks.

500+ Head-Fier
Introduction – In this review I’ll be looking at the SteelSeries Flux, an IEM from a gaming accessory manufacture and a rarity in the Head-Fi community. Since SteelSeries have never received any notable attention for their audio products they haven’t had more than a few of their headphones reviewed online. This scarcity of reviews is due to a number of things. First is the nature of gaming headphones, which are typically suited for movies and gaming (clearly) and are therefore bass heavy, excessively colored and utilize a sound signature that doesn’t generally appeal to audio enthusiasts and, thus, are rarely reviewed here. This, as logic would follow, means companies like SteelSeries tend not to market to “audiophiles” with their audio products and instead market directly to their primary audience: gamers. The result of their efforts means a very small (if any) following has been made with hi-fi enthusiasts. Add to that their relatively short experience with IEMs and you can easily predict that their base model (i.e. the Flux) will be a disappointment. However, when I recently discovered that the Flux performed well beyond its price point I couldn’t help but try it for myself and see if they were any good. And as you’ll discover later, they are.
biggrin.gif

 
Disclaimer - These are not demo units and have not been borrowed. They were purchased with my own money out of my own interest and curiosity for the purpose of this review.
 
Specs:
- 6mm Dynamic drivers
- Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20,000Hz
- Impedance: 19 Ohms    

 
Packaging & Accessories: SteesSeries has kept their accessories light with the Flux and only included 3 pairs of black single flange ear-tips (s, m, l) and a soft black carrying pouch - minimalistic but adequate.
 
Build & Design: SteelSeries have made use of shiny black plastic for the main portion of the housings and soft, bouncy rubber for the cable that begins at the straight 3.5mm jack and continues onto the rest of the housings. A single button in-line mic is placed on the left cable about 9 inches above the Y-splitter which is near the mouth and easily accessible. Build quality is relatively good for a $50 headphone but could do with a less finicky cable. That said, the cable doesn’t get tangled easily and inspires confidence when used aggressively. The style of wear is cable-down but can easily be worn over-ear if the user so desires.
 
Isolation: Due to their small and narrow profile the Flux fit deep into the ear and isolate very well. Overall, isolation is good for both noisy indoor and outdoor environments.
 
Microphonics: It is imperative that I separate this category because the Flux suffers from loud cable noise. It isn’t a mild noise that can be ignored; it’s a noise that distracts when listening at any volume. Wind noise, rubbing/surface noise, and/or bouncing noise can become very bothersome when walking or moving but can be remedied when worn over-ear. However, the lack of a cable cinch keeps the cable from falling out of place. The only quiet (and recommended) way to use the Flux is when sitting or lying down.
 
Fit & Comfort: One word to describe the ergonomics: excellent. My ears have had trouble with every IEM I’ve ever used except the Flux. Their slender, short profile and small nozzle keeps them from causing any discomfort or strain (even with my awkward ears). The deep fit also means the housings stay in place and only occasionally need adjustment.
 
----------Sound----------
 ​
Equipment & Background – For the sound portion of this review I will be using an Audinst HUD-MX1 amp/DAC combo as my primary “reference” source, a Topping NX-1 portable amplifier, and a Sansa Fuze as a portable source. All my listening is done indoors with an over-ear headphone for added isolation resulting in almost silent listening with no audible distractions. My library consists of high bit-rate MP3s and FLAC files. The Flux also received 100hrs of burn-in before review.
 
Bass: The signature of the Flux is slightly V-shaped with enhanced lows that add a decent level of warmth to the sound. Unlike most headphones which tend to have stronger mid-bass humps, the sub-bass is boosted slightly above the rest of the lower frequencies adding extension, depth, and a good rumble to the low-end rare with most IEMs today. Bass is strong overall with excellent weight, impact, and top-to-bottom fullness many high quality headphones seem to lack. The full-bodied and extended lows of the Flux make for a fun listen that never bloats or intrudes on the midrange. And although the lows pack a punch they are not what you’d call bass-heavy as they maintain control, speed, and power without ever becoming distracting. This particular balance of quality and quantity should appeal to music lovers, movie watchers, and gamers alike. 
 
Mids: With boosted lows and moderately forward treble the midrange does not share equal presence as the frequencies above or below it making them mildly recessed. That said, the mids are clear and have fairly neutral note thickness, clarity, and openness. The lower midrange has a warm tonal quality that follows from the bass region while the upper midrange is more natural and detailed. This allows for impressive vocal intelligibility for female singers (which are more realistic) while male vocals are ever so slightly chesty. Overall, the midrange is smooth without lacking in presence or definition and balances well with the rest of the frequency spectrum.
 
Treble: At the very top, highs are clean, well extended, and exhibit a pleasant forwardness that completes the V-shaped signature of the Flux. Treble is relatively free of harshness and show no signs of sibilance while allowing for airy vocals, good dynamics, and clarity throughout. Following the detailed upper-midrange, lower-treble is equally clear and detailed making for a smooth transition from mids to highs. Percussive instruments are also reproduced with surprisingly natural timbre and decay. All this is made possible without sounding the least bit unforgiving with bad recordings or low-quality files, which is nice to find in a headphone with added treble presence.
 
Presentation: While the Flux isn’t the most spacious of earphones it is capable of  separating instruments within a given space keeping the sound open and nicely layered. Soundstage is much like an isosceles triangle, being that depth is its biggest strength while width is marginally behind. With exceptional depth, very good width, and decent height the presentation balances well with the energetic signature of the Flux – not too expansive or out-of-the head to sound distant and not forward enough to be fatiguing. Imaging is another area that impresses due to easy instrument localization and a clearly defined soundstage. 
 
Ear-tip & Insertion Sensitivity: Since a large portion of ear tips can be used with the Flux (other than just the stock tips) it is easy to find a pair that works. I found most tips to work well except ones with very short or narrow nozzles as they tend to reduce clarity and generally compresses soundstage. Insertion is also important to adjust otherwise a noticeable channel imbalance will be heard.
 
Power, Amplification, & Source performance: While SteelSeries have not released the rated sensitivity of the Flux it’s easy to conclude that they don’t need a lot of volume to perform. And since they exhibit so little hiss with noisy sources I’m led to believe they are average in sensitivity and simply easy to drive due to their 19 Ohm impedance. Whatever the case, the Flux performs well with all sources and only shows minimal improvements with additional amplification.
 
Value: It is not expected of most manufactures to make a headphone that appeals to both a mass market and to hi-fi enthusiasts, especially a gaming company. But SteelSeries has managed to produce an incredible little IEM that utilizes a very flexible, high quality sound for music, movies, and games making it a true “multimedia” headphone. With its fun and recognizable V-shaped sound signature the Flux’s deliver a blend of engaging characteristics with exceptional performance that rival sets twice its price. Those who use Android or i Devices will also have the additional benefit of a remote for added convenience. And while I can point to two caveats (the noisy cable and minimal accessory count) I highly recommend the Flux for its ease of use, comfort, isolation, design, and accessible sound. All in all, SteelSeries have surprised me with the Flux by not making it a generic “gaming headphone” or an otherwise bad value proposition. Instead, they’ve gotten off to a great start in the hi-fi market with their admirable baby headphone.

I think the cables on these are really pathetic. They're so rubbery that they get caught on basically anything. It's almost always a bad time for me when I take this out on the go, which is quite a shame as they sound nice.
