I am part of a touring group based in Singapore, me and my team were send this pair of IEM in exchange for review, and I am not paid to do this nor am I associated with the company, this review is done to my very best without any bias
Build
In order to ensure a comfortable listening experience, BGVP has used third-gen DLP 3D-printing technology to craft the beautiful earpieces for DH5. The cavities are made of high-quality medical-grade resin material. The design and looks of the pair are complemented by elegant wooden face covers.
Sound
Bass (4/10)
Not the best sounding bass for a hybrid driver IEM, sound wise bass is thick and wobbly while bass attack is slow and sub bass is boomy
Midrange (2/10)
Sound wise mids are warm and very airy sounding, mids for me is particularly not my favourite as when it comes to vocals, sound wise it sounds very closed off and boxy sounding especially female vocals however with the provided vocal tips vocals do sound a little open and smooth sounding while the upper mids where more detail, however because of how airy the midrange sound it makes the mids very cloudy
Treble (5/10)
Treble I feel is where it did it's best sound of the treble is definitely present with a touch of airiness, easy to listen with no peak however treble timbre sounded a little coloured to me
Technically (4/10)
Tall sounding soundstage but does not have enough depth and width, and average imaging
sound overall
fun sounding but definitely not for audio purist overall its balance sounding with a touch of warm but still not my cup of tea

I am a part of a touring group and this pair of was sent out to me for free and I am not paid to do this nor am I associated with this company, this review is done to my very best without any biasness and at this point of writing the pricing of the IEM hasn’t been confirmed I was told that price will range from 40USD to 50USD

Build
The whole IEM itself is very well build with some weight to it you can tell they are using quality resin IEM fit very well in my ears and I also like to add on I love the fin deigns on the IEM making it very comfortable for long listening session
Sound
Sound Overall
balance sound signature with a touch of airiness everything about the sound is just so well control, frequency separation was very noticeable I could tell where the vocals and instruments were. Although I would have like the dynamic to be better but I can’t complain for a IEM below $100

Overall
I really love the cable I think that’s a plus point for me cable were soft enough to reduce microphonic for the price points I will easily give this a 4/5 for the build Quality and the content provided in the box I would highly recommend this pair of item if you have a sub $200 budget while looking for a well balanced sounding IEM and a pair of although I hope to see a cloth to wipe my fingerprints off however I don’t know. If this pair of IEM is faulty the left side of my IEM sounded laggy and can make the vocal very recessed overall it does what it says balance tip sounds balanced while bass tips bring out more bass
