Hifiheadphones are pleased to announce that we will soon have stock of the new Aurisonics Bravo series of 3D printed in-ear monitor headphones - the Eva, Kicker, Forte and Harmony. Each model has their own sound signature - the series has something for every taste.
 
The full Aurisonics Bravo range will be on show at the next CanJam event held in London on 29-30 August 2015 at the Hotel Russell.

We've been giving the samples we received of these IEMs a good listen since they arrived and have been rather impressed by the way they sound.  The new Aurisonics range makes complete sense and sound is nicely balanced throughout.  Fans of the massively bass heavy ASG 2.5 will be disappointed, but those after something more refined are in for a treat.  Aurisonics seem to have put all their learning from the ASG range into the Bravo series and the result is IEMs that are polished and mature.  According to Aurisonics they want to get recognised in the musicians IEM market for stage use and with this series it seems very possible.
 
As John mentioned Aurisonics are exhibiting at Canjam London.  It appears Canjam will be the European launch for the Bravo series.

I read the descriptions and all, but how do these compare to the ASG 2.5?  Is it a less premium line to that or is it replacing it?

 

[Koolpep]

I received the Forte today to review and while I am not allowed to say much about them, I already made a firm order for these once they become available. I am truly impressed..

 

[vnmslsrbms]

Really?  I already saw a pair on the used forums in Hong Kong.  The top model Harmony too.  I believe these are on sale in Asia already.  I was tempted but decided against it.  Too many IEMs recently.

I might be able to audition the Harmony this afternoon - and compare it to the Forte, but so far, I am very impressed. I like them better than the ASG 2.5 actually.

Any impressions with the Eva? Seems like it's not getting any love at all. 

 
Also, how the new connector? Is it really a better version of MMCX as Dale claims?

 

[Luckbad]

The new connector is sweet. It allows rotation, making fitting the over-ear portion of the hanger much easier than it's been for me in the past.

Folks,
 
are the Kickers worth the extra $180 over HiSoundAudio WOODUO 2 ?
 
Advice would be much appreciated !!

 

[Luckbad]

Much higher quality overall on the Kicker. Slightly better kick, smoother and more pleasant sound. I've had two pairs of Wooduo 2's and one developed driver rattling while the other had significant driver flex out of the box.
 
The Kicker is my favorite earphone I've heard at $250.

Did you buy a pair of kickers to compare?

 

[Luckbad]

Yep. I don't have a Wooduo 2 anymore but do have the Kicker.

 

[JamesLange]

Have you tried any Velodyne headphones or Atrio M7's?

 

[Luckbad]

Yes to Atrio, no to Velodyne.

The Atrio sounded pretty good but build quality was questionable.

I've wanted to hear the Velodyne but haven't seen an authorized reseller with them for under $60.

Dear Luckbad,
 
I want to ask your opinion,
Sony XB90EX versus ASG-2.5 with android eq set to bass boost, cayin c5 set to high gain and high bass,
which one wins (I mean for bass lover).
 
Thanks,
Joe
