Thanks @hifigo for Aful p8 audition tour in India.
"AFUL Performer 8 "
SETUP :::
My review setup includes the Shanling M7 DAP, Topping NX7 amp, Stock cable, AZLA Sedna light ear tips, and Tidal & Apple music as sources.
TRACKS :::
The tracks used while reviewing it are as follows,
1) GO- Burak Yeter
2) Six Feet Under - The weeknd
3) Karma - Summer Walker
4) Bones - Imagine dragon
5) Kesariya - arijit singh
6) Jolene - Dolly Parton and Miley cyrus
7) Troubled souls - Jack Savoretti
8) My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
BUILD and FIT :::
Build quality is excellent. The P8 comes in a 3D-printed resin shell standard for multiple driver IEMs. The IEMs themselves are very light and are small/medium in size. They are very ergonomic and are among the best-fitting IEMs I have tried.
SOUND :::
The Performer 8 stands out with its natural and warm tonality. It can effortlessly drive any device I connect it to, even managing to drive from my Oneplus 8 pro without a hitch. Personally, I find tuning of Performer 8 boasts a noticeable warmth, striking a well-balanced sound signature that proves versatile across different genres. It successfully avoids the harsh treble extension.
BASS :::
I would describe the lower frequencies as well-balanced, with neither overpowering the other. The sub-bass offers impressive depth and extension, while the mid-bass is tight and delivers a satisfying punch.
MIDS :::
The mids are pleasing and warm sounding. The vocals sound natural, rich, and immersive.
TREBLE :::
The treble on the P8 is well-extended with a good amount of air and sparkle. It's pleasant and smooth, perhaps with a slight brightness, but no sibilance to my ears.
SOUNDSTAGE :::
The stage is average. It is not particularly wide, but there is some depth.
CONCLUSION :::
The AFUL Performer 8 is an excellent IEM, and it gets my recommendation for anyone looking for a very well-tuned IEM that is easy to pick up and listen to. And while it isn't a technical monster by any means, the well-balanced, lush tuning of the P8 handled every song I threw at it in stride with great detail retrieval.
