Review of BQEYZ Weather Series Cloud
Hello, beautiful people! Сompany BQEYZ (Best Quality Earphone for You) has always stood out for its unique musical signature and pleasant sound, which has won the hearts of many audio fans.
Today, I will be talking about the new release from BQEYZ — BQEYZ Weather Series Cloud. The first news about this product appeared in April, and the official release happened in May. These IEMs are a continuation of BQEYZ’s Weather Series.
So, let’s talk about the new model. In April, BQEYZ announced a model called "Cloud", symbolizing lightness and airiness due to its unique diaphragm. Later, it was revealed that these IEMs are equipped with two drivers: a dynamic driver with an LCP diaphragm and a passive radiator to maintain sound balance. They also feature a smartly designed ventilation system, which enhances the airy and light sound quality.
These are the first BQEYZ headphones I've had on review, but they definitely won my heart, and next I'll tell you why
I would like to thank BQEYZ store and especially Elle for providing the opportunity to test and review this product.

My acquaintance with the new product began with the packaging and unboxing experience. The package is designed in blue tones with a cloud-like design. The front side shows the IEMs model, while the back lists the specifications.
Upon unboxing, I found small and beautiful shells, a branded case containing eartips and a cable, and a small box with the user manual and a certificate with the production date. My IEMs are black with a blue trim, but you can also order them in a cyan color version.
Cloud are made from an aluminum alloy, consisting of two parts assembled into one shell. The surface is coated with a thin layer of matte black paint, with a neat blue trim around the edges. Each shell weighs about 5.5 grams.
The design of the IEMs is minimalistic and refined. On the faceplate, two smooth lines represent the flexibility and lightness of their sound.
On the inner side, there is a nozzle placed at an ideal angle. It’s quite wide but not too long, which slightly reduces sound isolation. Above the nozzle, there’s a compensation vent as well as R/L indicators.
The end of the nozzle has a small edge to prevent the eartips from slipping off, and there’s a metal mesh inside for added protection.
On the side is a 2-pin 0.78mm plug and an extended compensation hole for a more airy sound.
During the time that I have been using the IEMs, I have not had any issues with the build quality. All the parts are carefully made and I have not had any complaints about the build.
BQEYZ have ensured a comfortable fit by making the shells small and streamlined. Thanks to their compact shape and light weight, they are comfortable for long listening sessions. They also fit both small and large ears without causing discomfort in any ear canal.
Once I put them on, I hardly felt them in my ears, and the slight coolness of the aluminum creates a pleasant sensation on my skin.
The sound isolation of these IEM is not the best due to the shallow fit. I can clearly hear surrounding noises, which is a bit distracting and interferes with listening.
Let’s talk about the included cable. The cable is of good quality, long enough, flexible, and has a memory effect. It is made from 2-core braided silver-plated coaxial copper. The cable is in silver tones and coated with a PVC material, providing protection against damage.
On one end, there is a 3.5mm plug, but you can also choose a version with 2.5mm or 4.4mm plugs if needed.
In the middle, there’s a smooth aluminum splitter with the company’s branding, and on the other side, there are aggressively shaped ear hooks with a 0.78mm 2-pin connector.
This cable can also be purchased separately for $30 at the BQEYZ store.
What really surprised me was the presentation of the ear tips. They are mounted on a metal plate, which makes them look significantly more premium.
Let’s talk about the ear tips in more detail.
BQEYZ offers three types of ear tips:
- 3 pairs (S / M / L) of gray silicone eartips with standard bore, which provide a pleasant and warm sound.
- 3 pairs (S / M / L) of transparent white eartips with wider borefor a richer and more expansive sound with a focus on vocals.
- 2 pairs (S / M) of standard foam eartips for atmospheric sound with excellent isolation and a comfortable fit.
I personally used these IEMs with TRI Clarion and SpinFit eartips for improved sound quality.
In terms of drivability, there are no problems.
I tested Cloud with both Android and Apple smartphones, as well as my iPad tablet, computer, and laptop.
I also connected them to the Qudelix 5K, and the sound was consistent across all devices.
So, this set will perform similarly whether you're using a phone or a DA
The first thing i noticed when i plugged in Cloud is that they deliver vocals beautifully and are focused on the midrange. But let’s dive deeper into the sound quality
(I tested IEMs with TRI Clarion and SpinFit tips, connected via 3.5mm)
Let’s start with the bass. Insufficient.
As far as I understand, the tuning of these IEMs doesn’t focus on delivering a rich and powerful bass, and I tried to feel it... Let me explain.
Sub-bass: I’ve listened to a lot of rock, EDM, and other bass-heavy tracks, but only felt a barely noticeable low-frequency rumble. I wouldn’t say it’s enough to enhance or fill out the bass.
Mid-bass: I would describe the bass in Cloud as airy, it decays quickly and disperses. Overall, you can feel the hits; they are dynamic and energetic, but not deep enough to fully enjoy the sound of bass guitars, drums, drum machines, MIDI controllers, etc.
A small warning: this set is not suitable for bassheads. If you are a fan of powerful lows, you will definitely have to boost the bass region with EQ.
Mids. Goosebumps!
Yes, that’s exactly what I felt when I first started using these IEMs. This is where BQEYZ really shined and perfected the tuning, and I have a lot to say.
Lower mids:
I definitely like this frequency range. The sound sits neither in the front nor the back but within the composition, giving it more fullness. I love how the lower guitar frequencies sound, they are musical and blend well into the overall composition. The saxophone and clarinet in jazz parts are especially energetic and complementary.
Midrange. WOOOW!
This is what these IEMs were made for. Let's start with the instruments. The timbre of guitar strings is incredibly natural, and piano keys are varied and melodic with good texture.
But what really delivers incredible emotion is the male and female vocals.
Male vocals are transparent, silky, and natural. The timbre is delivered as it should be, slightly coming to the forefront. In lyrical tracks by Frank Ocean, John Lennon, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson, male vocals add depth and variety to the song with a rich texture.
The female vocals are refined, soft, and pleasant to listen to, energetic and full of warmth.
Upper mids:
The upper mids don’t irritate. Instrument attacks are restrained, and the upper frequencies in female vocals are controlled. I’d say the high-frequency instrument range complements the body of the timbre and fits in nicely without letting the sound fade out too quickly.
Treble. Clean and bright.
The treble here is simply superb. The timbre of violins and cellos is soft and rich, without a metallic tint. The upper vocal range particularly stood out in tracks by a-ha and Frank Sinatra, where the high-frequency vocal vibrations evoke unforgettable emotions. Female high-frequency vocals also impressed me, without an annoying sibilance.
Separation and soundstage:
Cloud are not analytical, and the separation, in my opinion, is not the most impressive. The IEMs create a rather wide, but not tall soundstage, which leads to a lack of instrument layering. As I mentioned earlier, the vocals tend to move slightly forward, while the instruments stay behind, complementing them. There are no problems with imaging accuracy, you can easily identify where each instrument or vocal is coming from.
BQEYZ
Gaming impression:
BQEYZ claims that their IEMs are great for gaming. I tested them in FPS shooters, and I have something to say.
In shooters, this kit delivers sound with high positional accuracy. You can easily detect where footsteps or shots are coming from, thanks to accurate imaging and a wide soundstage. The lack of bass doesn’t affect the gameplay, if anything, it removes distracting rumble and noise. So, I can definitely recommend Cloud for gamers.
BQEYZ Cloud vs Simgot EA500LM:
The first comparison I want to make is with the excellent Simgot EA500LM.
In terms of design, there’s not much difference: both are small, metallic, and fit comfortably in the ears.
As for the sound, Simgot provides very detailed and precise sound, while Cloud offers a more fun and soft sound, which would appeal to most listeners.
If we dive into the details, the Simgot reproduces the bass better, with more detail and analytical precision, while the Cloud provides smoother mids and highs and are better suited for gaming sessions.
In the end, both pairs are excellent products with their own unique advantages.
vs Kinera Celest Relentless:
Let's start with the design. Cloud are made of metal, they are smaller and fit better in the ears, while Relentless are made of resin, bigger, and provide better sound isolation.
In terms of sound signature, these are two completely different samples.
Relentless are equipped with one dynamic driver and six balanced armatures, and their sound has the typical armature character in the mids and highs. However, the bass in these IEMs is reproduced excellently. On the other hand, Cloud offers a more balanced, soft, and warm sound with much better mid and high frequencies.
For whom are these earphones
I would recommend these IEMs if you enjoy lyrical songs with a focus on vocals. If you like listening to live performances, pop, hip-hop, instrumental, orchestral music, or jazz. They handle these genres beautifully and deliver powerful, rich vocal compositions, offering an unforgettable listening experience.
However, this set doesn't perform well with metal and rock, so i wouldn’t recommend them for these genres. Also, Cloud may not be the best fit for trance, house, and EDM music.
BQEYZ has managed to impress by creating Cloud, that are truly airy and light, with the best mids in their price range.
This new release from BQEYZ has impressed me, and Cloud is definitely joining my collection of top IEMs. They deliver an unforgettable experience with their mids, especially in vocal tracks. Their richness and musical timbre will surprise even the most seasoned audiophile.
They are also perfect for gamers, where precision and speed are crucial for achieving the best results.
In summary, Cloud are truly worth it, and I appreciate their unique sound presentation. I recommend everyone to give them a try - you won't be disappointed.
Thank you for reading my review!
