Intuaura Impressions and Discussion Thread

[kesobie]

Intuaura (short for Intuition Aura) is a brand established in 2021 by Mr. Tang.

Intuaura initially only sold domestically until 2024, when they began selling their products internationally.

They specialize in single DD IEMs and using DSP for some of their IEMs

Here are all the products (as of 10/02/24)
Intuaura Reference 2019
Intuaura Luna Plume
Intuaura View Splendor II
Intuaura Purple
Intuaura Lakeview

Will continue to update this given more information

I got the opportunity to test and review their products during the Shenzhen International Audio show. Specifically, the Intuaura Reference 2019, Luna Plume and View Splendor II. Let me share my short impressions on each of them here:

1. Reference 2019

- $100
- Harman-tuned DSP IEM
- Single DD
- Very Harman sounding with a big subbass focused sound, lean mids and a lot of upper midrange energy
- Slight metallic timbre

2. Luna Plume

- Single DD
- $150
- Impeccable timbre
- Very smooth and relaxed tuning
- Not very technically capable

3. View Splendor II

- Single DD
- Comes with Phantasm DSP
- $259
- VERY technically capable single DD
- V-Shaped on Analogue, Balanced on DSP
- Good variation from DSP and analogue

Here's my unboxing video

My review of Splendor II: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/intuaura-splendor-ii-iem.27160/review/34296/

It’s pretty nice. Not the most neutral tuned, but the driver sounds quite resolving.

Awesome! I was really intrigued with how the Splendor II sounded. It's not the most "revolutionary" single DD tech out there, but the inclusion of the DSP was very welcome as it turned it into a more balanced sounding set compared to the analogue. Have you tried their other IEMs?

Have you tried their other IEMs?

Nah, I haven’t. I think all of their IEMs are single DD?

Quick comparison with the Simgot EA1000's?

Quick comparison with the Simgot EA1000's?

EA1000 has a different level of refinement compared to the Splendor II, but the Splendor II is more fun and versatile in terms of genre thanks to its more v-shaped tuning. On the DSP, the EA1000 has better defined dynamics and transients but the tuning of the Splendor II is once again more balanced and versatile.
