Pros: Solid Power in a Dongle Dac
Looks Amazing
Has 3.5, 4.4, and 2.5 connections

No lighting cable, or included usb C to usb C
Fingerprint magnet.
This is a strong product that I’m happy to test and review. I like Bluetooth Dongle Dacs and I’m glad to review this one. This was a sample sent out by Hifigo. It’s a good product but not...

Pros: Exceptional Price-to-Performance Ratio
Very mature tuning - not a typical ChiFI

Sweet mid-range, superb vocals

Nice packaging, good set of accessories
Cons: None
A few weeks ago, I invited @Ace Bee for auditioning few iems I had with me. I was unaware of the existence of OD200 until that time. I also had not stumbled upon any posts...

500+ Head-Fier
For EPZ K1 in Universal Fit
Pros: △ Resin shell chassis are well-constructed and beautifully crafted.
△ Excellent fitting.
△ Minimalist carbon fibre-like aesthetics (I'm a fan of hypercars so its given)
△ Decent quality stock cable and it has a mic with basic buttons for calls and playing music.
△ Versatile sound signature for almost all types of music genre.
△ Two new types of ear tips to choose from for our preferred isolation and comfort.
△ Slamming and incisive bass response.
△ Clear and mildly warmth midrange
△ Quite flexible on vocal type whether its a male or female.
△ Good for tracking on string and woodwind instruments.
△ Bright treble quality for clarity and detail.
△ It has decent technical capabilities for a hybrid driver entry-level set.
Cons: ▽ A bit recessed midrange presentation.
▽ Wishing for better cable.
▽ Some instances of a little bit shrill and metallic sound.
▽ Not a neutral sounding set that I can recommend to other fellow neutral heads.
▽ Forewarning to treble-sensitive folk, might be a bit intense for your hearing sensitivity.

Interesting and nicely structured review. I personally would have no issue recommending the OD200 to trebleheads with the black nozzle mounted and I find imaging really good. As always, our ears are important elements within the audio chain and individual preferences are what they are :relieved:

New Head-Fier
For Simgot EM6-L in Universal Fit
Pros: Simgot’s most “well-thought” Harman-sounding IEM yet!

All-rounder, mild U/V-shaped sounding IEM (subjective).

Just like the EW200, this IEM managed to balance tonal and technical performance relatively evenly.

Very cohesive sound for a multi-driver IEM.

Elevated, versatile, well-balanced bass rendition in terms of punch and rumble.

Open, lively, mildly smooth yet detailed mids.

Well-extended yet non-fatiguing upper frequencies.

Excellent, incisive technical performance that goes toe-to-toe with sub-200 USD IEMs.

Very good fit, comfort, and isolation. Very lightweight yet sturdy!

Visually-pleasing build quality and aesthetics! (highly subjective)

Fairly easy to drive compared to the EW200 and scales/sounds better with an external DAC.
Cons: Technical performance is definitely excellent for its asking price, but it isn’t miles and leaps ahead compared to the Simgot EW200 and EA500.

Faceplates are definitely scratch and smudge-prone.

QDC-type connection may be a downside to some (highly subjective).

A cleaning cloth and an extra set of eartips would be a good treat for everybody in this price point (definitely a nitpick)

Pros: With simple EQ they improve dramatically
Light weight

Great value for money
Cons: Tip rolling is a must
Some drum hits lack impact

I bought these personally for $30 on Aliexpress during the 11/11 sale, so no financial interest if/where you buy them or not. Testing was done with the SMSL DL200 using stock cable and Sonicfoam...

You really choose this over Sundara? Its mind blowing.

I'm a gamer also and the Sundara soundstage is really wide, but flat as a pancake for front to back depth. Also they clamp so tight it's like a vice on larger heads. Technically they're nice, but I use the He5xx daily for comfort and neutral profile. These are the fun planar sound for $39 on sale, and light as a kite to wear, so they win for me for a couple of reasons. They leak quite a bit so I wouldn't travel with them though.

New Head-Fier
For MUSE HiFi M4 Portable Bluetooth in Portable Amps
Pros: 1. A great dac which sound great in BT and Wired mode

2. Good price point

3. Has all the 3 terminations

4. Looks really beautiful with that transparent cover

5. Sounds really clean with a touch of warmness

6. Supports all popular BT codecs including APTX

7. Has a dedicated mute button, which is really handy!
Cons: 1. Lack of usb c-c cable inside the box

2. The wired mode for me only worked with the included A-C cable

3. No included case or shirt clip inside the box

4. A passthrough charging for the source device while listening via wired mode would have been nice ( This could be seen as a nitpick for many, but this would probably elevate the dac even more for me personally)
