OkHello everyone here is my short review / impressions on the Kotori Vampire ❤️ .
It's safe to say it's my absolute favourite single BA iem , perfect combination of great sound , comfort , isolation & easy to drive.

Vampire the 1 BA wonder by Kotori.

1 Knowles Full Range Balance Armature Driver
3D-Printed Custom Engineering Hard-Tough Resin Shell, Skin-Safe Lacquer Coating
Super light weight 2.7 GM per side
1* Silicone Tips & Case (S M L)
1* CARBON 3 IEM Cable
1* Metal Carrying Case

One must have this in the iem collection , there are only handful of single BA iems & only few from them perform up to the mark , Vampire is one of it.. without any doubt.

The Case is great I loved it metallic mat lovely finishing with V logo , hard on out & soft on inside, easily openable but has a firm grip & is kind of air tight.
The cable it's light weight, aesthetics are great , very soft & manageable, no microphonics 👌🏻 braiding is superb , SPC is great choice..
The tips & the tip case is great , they are comfortable & give a superior isolation ( most of isolation is because the iem design is probably ventless) .
The IEM Ergonomics ,
What a fit , it's so light weight & the small ear shell is great , Kotori's quest to create a convenient daily driver has created a masterpiece .
Without the ba veil for long listening wow perfect , the design on shell is really the best & exceptionally beautiful ❤️ absolutely love it , once worn I can really forget that I have anything in my ear & enjoy music such is the combination of the iem + tip + cable.
The Sound 1 BA how in this world did Kotori managed to make a 1 ba that sounds so good , done a phenomenal job , this Vampire doesn't sound like a 1 ba , it sounds great & far more better that what I had imagined, Timbre is perfect & I love it , vocals sound nice rounded with organic touch , bass this 1 ba is moving air & giving a feeling of bass which is equally good as a good DD + perfectly fast & thumpy ,
Highs are there but not on your face, just the way i like it ..
Sound stage & imaging is great,
Let me share that I tried it with balanced cable using Aune M1P DAP & Hiby RS2 DAP.
I am lucky, in India I am the first person who got to listen & try this wonder .
I thank Kotori Audio & Ray Tan for sending us their iems to AG for tour ..

New Head-Fier
Liqueur Kicks In
Pros: Great seal & isolation, value for money.
Cons: None at the price point

Liqueur eartips come in two varieties – orange and black. Both are similarly shaped but the black ones have thicker walls. Which means the Black Liqueurs provide a stronger seal and better noise isolation, they come in 4 Sizes ,
The USP of these tips is the unique shiny & sticky surface which helps in getting a great seal without being uncomfortable as they are quite supple , isolation is perfect.
Bore is open & spacious which helps in having a good sound stage with good perception of imaging .
In a market filled with endless options for Ear tips the innovative PENON liqueur tips offer a better value at price point that cannot be matched by competitors .
Penon Audiophiles Reviews We Team members from the Audio Geek "Brother_Hood of Audiophiles" thank Mr Chi Kong Hui for making this Liqueur Tips they are by far the best tips I have come accross.
These get 💯 safe recommendation, whether you are a tip roller or not .
