500+ Head-Fier
For Simgot Supermix 4 (1DD + 1BA + 1 Planar + 1 PZT) in Universal Fit
Pros: ● Probably the most affordable “quadbrid” driver set around.
● Excellent build quality on its composite shells.
● It offers a very comfortable wear and good sealing for better passive noise isolation.
● Fully-packed with quality accessories
● Good quality stock cable.
● A quite familiar tuning, the U-shaped Harman-ish style of sound profile.
● Clean and rumbly bass response.
● Transparent, clear and has an ample warmth while maintaning a tidy midrange presentation.
● Some instruments and vocals have natural timbre with good clarity and detail on them.
● Surprisingly smooth, evened and airy treble response.
● Wide soundstage projection with an atmospheric stereo imaging presentation.
● Well-layered soundscape with excellent separation of instrument's sections and vocal placement.
● Micro-detail retrieval is impressive as it is able to extract details and nuances.
Cons: ● Not for bass heads as it doesn't have vigour and tactility.
● Limited choices of ear tips to choose from.
● Recessed midrange as it sound on the leaner side of midrange texture.
● Probably not for treble heads due to lack of brightness and sparkle.
● Some instances of tinny and metallic sound on some tracks.

500+ Head-Fier
For 7Hz Aero in Universal Fit
Pros: ● The shell design is rather interesting as it has teardrop contours in a very compact size.
● Its design choice is surprisingly pretty ergonomic and it offers an excellent fit.
● A well-done coloured sounding set as it has a warmish-balanced tuning.
● An analogue sound lover's delight on how the sonic qualities of this set conveys.
● Well-balanced bass response with ample punch and rumbling sub bass response.
● Warm and well-textured midrange with an almost natural sound on vocals and instruments on their tonal colour.
● Smooth and inoffensive treble response.
● An above-average to wide sound/speaker stage projection.
Cons: ● Non-detachable cable
● Spartan inclusions
● Needs more power output to sound more dynamic and fuller.
● Not for neutral heads and analytical types of listeners.

500+ Head-Fier
For TWISTURA D-Major in Universal Fit
Pros: ● Quite a competitive for its asking price
● Its overall build quality is quite sturdy and solid.
● The unique design of its shells are quite eye-pleasing for its sophisticated look.
● Pretty well-accessorised for an entry-level set.
● Inclusion of a headphone amp dongle.
● Can be amplified with decent multimedia devices like smartphones and tablets
● Detachable nozzle system for more choices of tuning preferences.
● Clean bass response
● Transparent, clear and detailed midrange
● Good for tracking on sopranos, strings and woodwind instruments.
● Bright, gleaming and satisfying airy treble presentation, highly recommended to treble heads.
● It has a capable technical aspect for a single DD set.
● Highly resolving in terms of resolution capability.
Cons: ● Can't have a proper fitting from its peculiar design as I need proper ear tips to pair with it.
● Its surfaces are prone to scratches, nicks and fingerprints.
● Black ring and blue ring nozzles settings aren't for treble sensitive folks.
● Absolutely not for bass heads due to its lack of authority and texture on the mid bass.
● Occurrences of sibilance and to some extent, harshness especially on blue ring and black ring nozzle settings.

I felt somewhat similarly about the treble until I switched to aftermarket tips with a deep seal which in my own theory pushes the “””coupler””” resonant peak into that mid treble to balance out the dip that gate has. I think this set is definitely worth a shot with tip rolling as long as you already like the bass-to-upper mids presentation which I think you said you liked.

New Head-Fier
For NF audio RA05 in Universal Fit
Pros: A well-implemented, minimalist, EDC-focused IEM!

Mid-centric sound signature! (subjective)

Tight, fast bass response!

Forward, airy mids! (subjective)

Non-fatiguing upper frequencies.

Decent technical performance for an EDC IEM!

Very good fit, comfort and isolation! (literally)

Very good build quality.

USB-C with an integrated DAC is always a good treat for a modern EDC set!

Responsive in-line buttons and clear mic quality!

Very good quality of accessories!
Cons: Bass may lack for those people who prefer an extra bass quantity.

Mids may sound “too forward” to some ears.

A hard case would’ve been preferred for this IEM since this set has a non-removable cable (nitpick, subjective)

NF Audio should make a version of this IEM with a removable cable, for those people who still prefer things in 3.5mm connection (not really a con/nitpick, but moreof a suggestion)

Previously known as SemperMalum
For SJY Horizon in Over-Ear
Pros: Neutral and clean sound signature yet with impactful bass
Mids are detailed and sound natural
Highs are smooth (may not be as airy as people would hope) but tuned well without being fatiguing
Technicalities are amazing - wide soundstage, detailed and natural
Comfortable (with some time) to reduce clamp force
The Earpads are Magnetic! Makes swapping or removing easy and extremely satisfying
Cons: Requires a LOT of power to drive
Dynamics (Macro) are only average (as expected of a planar headphone)
Earcups still swivel (like the Umi)
Fit & Finish - slight micro abrasions in the plastic
EXTREMELY open - there's a lot of sound leakage
TL;DR: Neutral and clean yet fun flagship performance planar headphones

@Luckyleo - there's a lot to like as SJY continues to refine his line up.

My understanding is that the next sets that he's working on are dynamic drivers that will be more budget friendly.

For Simgot EM10 in Universal Fit
Pros: + Good unboxing experience
+ Easy fitting and nice shell
+ Great punchy bass with a good amount of sub-bass
+ Centered vocals, not too forward, perfect vocal body, natural
+ No sibilance, no shouty
+ Fun treble power, not over and not lacking
+ Good treble extension
+ Amazing driver coherency
+ Good layer imaging

Cons: - Poor ear tips quality for the price
- Shell material doesn’t represent its price
- Too much bass for some people
- A bit weird BA timbre in the midrange
- Intimate or small soundstage for its price bracket, lack of air
- Lack of treble sparkle

Pros: Being not entirely made of metal makes it lighter than other dongles.
Removable cable
Gain button
Unbalanced and balanced output (3.5mm and 4.4mm) at an affordable price
280mW maximum power (suitable for demanding IEMs and over-ear headphones)
Noise floor lower than average and practically imperceptible to the ear
Plug & Play on Windows and Android
Cons: The plastic finishes on the front and back easily get dirty with fingerprints
Colored signature and somewhat far from being neutral
Nitpick: a bit warmer than other dongles
Lacks software for smartphone users
Few volume steps for my taste (16 steps)
TempoTec Sonata BHD: the little one of the Sonata’s family

Lower mids are disconnected and overshadowed by the lower frequencies
Upper mids and highs can be harsh with notable sibilance and metallic noise caused by the balanced armature

Excellent review, straight to the point! Do you think the 9-ohm impedance might have contributed to the bass sounding boomy?

Hi @atechreviews I am already using sources with < 1 ohm output impedance to review this unit, and it is still boomy in the sub-bass even on such low OI sources.

With high OI sources, the bass is very very coloured and boosted.
