BGVP DMG

I've always been happy satisfied with the sound I get from my BGVP DMG, but I just made a discovery that makes them great. Looking at other BGVP iems ( just bought the DM7) on Aliexpress i came across an offer for a modified filter that claimed to tame the bass in the gold filter. I bought it and out does what it claims, great actually, it made the iem a lot more enjoyable. I used like that on and off for a while (I like to switch iems) but then I had an extra balanced cable laying around so decided to tried on to heat how they would sound, plugged them in you my DAC... and Oh My God! I could not believe the sound that came out the DMGs. Not kidding... Better than my other iems that go up to $600. Much Better than the DM7. (I still use the DM7 while commuting because of a better seal on the train) The modification consist of a tiny hole that tames the bass and opens the stage, but when you combine it with a balanced DAC... You'll be in for a big surprise. I guarantee it will keep you from spending lots of money for a while. Try it... You'll like what you hear.

The packaging for DMG is actually not bad at all. You get a GOOD selection of tips, a cable, filters, and well, I couldn't find any way to complain about the package. For 130 USD you have a good selection of tips, good cable, and even filters.












About the build quality, DMG is pretty much excellent. Full metallic build, it is a tank. The brushed finish on the outside does not scratch easily.

The cable is flexible, and may feel a bit flimsy, but I could not manage to damage the MMCX connectors regardless what I've been doing with DMG, and since I mentioned this, DMG works really well for outdoor activities, it is really comfortable. There is no driver flex, and there are 2 Dynamic Drivers, and 4 BA drivers per each ear, so I'm quite impressed they manage to make DMG so ergonomic. There are far more expensive IEMs out there that are nowhere near as comfortable as DMG is, even some having way less drivers if judging by raw number.



I could go as far as to say that from the list I'm reviewing today, BGVP did probably the best job about comfort. Shozy in general has larger shells and you can't wear them unless you have at least medium-sized ears. TENHZ P4 is also large, and has some void, feels odd while wearing it. Tin T3 is comfy, but still not quite as comfy as BGVP. TRN is comfortable, but not as much as BGVP, and TWNPRO is as comfortable as KZ IEMs are, and they are average in comfort. This still stands true, even for today's BGVP models, all of them are just comfortable.

In terms of sound, DMG is pretty much dream-state. It doesn't quite reach the level of FiiO's FH7 IEMs, and it is not tuned similar to it either. You should keep in mind that the filters included in the package do almost nothing about the sound of DMG, they are more aesthetic and functional to block wax, rather than proper tuning filters, like what you find with IMR R2 Aten, IMR R1 Zenith, or other highly customisable IEMs.



This being said, there is a place for Chifi in my heart, and BGVP DMG is one of the best there are if you're looking for fun signatures. It is a highly V-Shaped signature, and to me, it is perfect for metal, rock, pop, electronic, EDM, Industrial, anything engaging. They are not great if you want a balanced, Bassy or if you're afraid of treble, DMG is not for you.

This being said, Shouer Tape is also one of those V-Shaped IEMS, and is also sold by Linsoul, and I liked it, but as I mention in my review of Shouer Tape, if you don't like strong treble, it won't be a good match for you. The sound can be described as dynamic, punchy, clear, clean, and warm, thick-ish, and strong.

The bass is strong, rich, and reaches really deep. In fact, the only downside to it is the speed, which is average, and also the fact that the detail matches the price range, which is about 100 USD. But the richness of the bass, and the naturalness of it, if you weren't looking for a quick IEM in particular, makes BGVP DMG a really good choice.



The midrange is recessed, especially in the lower midrange, where male voices lack some substance, and feel a bit thin, despite the thickness of the bass, but the upper midrange is rich and punchy again. DMG clearly favors female voices and will make female voices sound sweeter and cleaner.

The treble is on the bright and sparkly edge, it can be a touch sibilant, but overall, BGVP managed to keep good control of the treble. Some of the filters, especially the gold one, will make the treble more laid-back, and take an edge off, but well, then DMG becomes just a very bassy IEM, and the contrast the treble gives to the bass disappears. If anything, I'm really happy that DMG has a large and open stage, and with a pretty closed design, I think that you get a huge stage, for the price, and it manages to be larger than IT01, or Final E4000 IEMs. This being said, instrument separation, and dynamics are also top notch.

Although DMG is really easy to drive, and a smartphone will make really easy work of it, out of a FiiO M3K, it will sound great, out of a Shanling M0, it will sound even better, and out of an iBasso DX120, it will be truly impressive. I suggest using at least a midrange source to get the most out of it.



At the end of the day, DMG is a very solid choice, although a bit hard to find, you should try your best to find it when you can, it is an awesome IEM in comfort, construction and sound, if you liked V-Shaped IEMs.

>> I received the BGVP DMG from Linsoul Audio in return for an honest review. This doesn't influence this review in any way, it just reflects my own opinion!

Intro
It took a long time, but now I was finally able to deal sufficiently with the BGVP DMG, which was showered with premature praise.

Such praise can be a curse and a blessing, as it usually arouses expectations that have to be fulfilled first. One often takes a more critical approach to the whole thing and thus assumes that a good in-ear also makes mistakes which are not so much to one's liking with other, previously unknown in-ears. Of course you will also get an in-ear that is simply overhyped. Not so with the DMG, which like the Kanas Pro quickly conquered my heart.



Handling
First of all, it's amazing how BGVP has managed to accommodate 6 drivers (2*DD & 4*BA) in this comparatively compact housing. The wearing comfort and ergonomic fit offered here is already great cinema! 12 Points for BGVP
In addition we get a full metal housing, which is perfectly processed, i.e. without gap dimensions or quirks and has an independent design.

Included in delivery are a pair of foam tips, 3 different types of silicone tips in 3 sizes, two additional, exchangeable filters (the reference filter is already pre-assembled), a cable clip and a silver-plated, robust and very smooth cable (MMCX).

The isolation is excelent, but at high volume some of the sound penetrates to the outside.



Sound
Since the BGVP DMG can be equipped with different filters, the main part of my review revolves around the sound with the reference filters, which are always the same as the case color. In addition, there is a bass filter (gold) and a treble filter (silver). However, my hearing doesn't seem to be sensitive enough to detect large differences between the individual filters.

Hallelujah, the bass can not only "shoot", which of course is also one of his skills, but also dissolve it accurately, highlight single bass notes and reveal fine details. He is able to control the high and low bass frequencies without any problems and thus covers the whole range sustainably. However, he feels most comfortable in the midbass, where he develops a good punch that might frighten some bass sensitive people. I really enjoy it, because it doesn't only rumble like I said, or not at all, but always stays clean despite the impact.

The bass is powerful, but I don't think that it gives the mids an unnatural colouring, or pushes them too hard. The mids are very lively and clear. They lack neither body nor assertiveness, despite the obvious V-signature. This is far more balanced than one would expect, so that you do not have to worry about missing something or getting a distorted sound. The mids sound full, and dissolve very well. Female voices are somewhat better than male ones, which also benefit from the full body and the bass influence. I can't make out any gross unnaturalness in the midrange at all.

The treble is just as much a matter of taste as the bass with the DMG. They are extremely detailed. Definition, speed and airiness are typical for good BAs, which the DMG definitely has under the hood. The highs are also most influenced by the respective filters.
In general, the highs radiate a lot of brilliance and energy and give the DMG that certain something. Sibilants and peaks can rarely occur, but you quickly get used to the bright sound and quickly immerse yourself in the music due to the good resolution and three-dimensionality. Personally, I rarely or never have any problems with the high frequencies of the DMG, but surely it will be different for some.

Separation and stage are excellent with the DMG. A lot happens here on different layers and you quickly get lost in individual details or instrumental passages. Definitely the sound is also outside the head and so provides an airy and exciting listening experience.

Silver filter: The bass appears a bit tighter and the BAs get more attention, which makes the DMG sound clearer. However, this is very subjective and really not a big audible difference.

Gold filter: It gets a little clearer here. The bass remains unchanged from the reference filter, but the sound is warmer because the treble is somewhat dampened, but still remains clear and detailed. Here you can easily prevent unwanted peaks, but also lose some brilliance.

Basically, I'll stick to the fact that the filters don't have too much influence on the sound, because the signature remains the same.



Outro
With the DMG, BGVP has brought out an audiophile all-rounder that is also very affordable for what it does. It is nobly crafted, has a superb wearing comfort and a defined, clear, albeit bass accentuated sound. The sound penetration to the outside provides something for point deduction in handling. The bass meets all my requirements and also the treble despite the slight emphasis on the sibilants. In the mids there are slight deductions in the B-note, because male voices could be a bit more powerful. The DMG joins the CCA C16 and the TIN AUDIO T2 in the overall ranking and is thus in best company! Clear recommendation to buy!
