Upon opening the box one is greeted with a stunning display of a black and white IEM with a almost crystal like resin shell with hints of gold in the connections.
First thoughts were a elegant design as Paiaudio is known for it’s fashionable earphones with great sound in mind. The packaging is all black simple yet effectively draws ones eye to the product.
Specifications are as followed a Hybrid consisting of a Balanced armature and Dynamic driver each side, it features a MMCX connection that terminates to a right angle 3.5mm, a Frequency Response Range of 10-30-kHz, A Sensitivity of 125dB, Resistance is 8Ω meaning these can be driven by a MP3 player , phone or just about anything easily.
On to the product Build as was said before very pretty but also quite durable with its solid shell. The 121 provided a great amount of isolation using the included tips although the box came with two different types in three sises I used the default tips and found them comfortable for hours of use as well.
The sound proves this is not just a fashion IEM but a capable one too. I must say the bass on this was a pleasant surprise as my first track was Billie Eilish :Bad Guy the Pliisen 121 when on to play various genres of music with a nice amount of clarity. The highs are great their is no harsh spike or lack of details in the treble and the Vocals are perfectly represented centered yet slightly forward, the bass is deep yet behaves well with the rest of the frequencies.
The Pliisen 121 is a pleasantly warm detailed sounding IEM with a very attractive look and I would like to thank Alex from Paiaudio for sending out this very fun IEM to test out.
