You know I gotta hand it to NiceHCK. My goodness both these sound right. The NK10 is absolute bling. I just literally popped them in my ears as I am typing.
Someone been crafting their game. I have to hand it to the OEM that makes these things. I would like to give credit to NiceHCK as their name is written all over these earphones but I am very certain it is another company that makes these things for them. These are the same group that made the HK6 and my DZ12.
These do share some similarities to the DZ12 more than the HK6. They sound very cohesive. Very dimensional. Very balanced. Wide and deep. NiceHCK house forward mids with clean extended treble. Deep punchy rumbly sub bass. Very comfy in the ears. Lovely dark translucent blue color. It is extremely early impression but I want to say these sound even deeper than the DZ12. DZ12 might have a slightly wider stage but these definitely have the depth over them. These sound fantastic out of the box. More to come.
As close to the sonics as these things are to my DZ12. Considering these are about half the price. These are extreme value for a higher end all BA iem. I will take my time with this one but I am definitely digging on their sonics. They do sound more like a flagship effort than a stop gap. I am sure they will come out with more in the future but I want to say these are pushing some serious SQ for the bux.
What was even just as surprising of their sound is the EP35 single dynamic earphones you guys see in the pic above. I was lazy and posted both earphones in one pic. These are being sold for $28 on NiceHCK web site. Was told these use the same dynamic driver that is in the Onkyo E700M
They kinda look like em too. These things go for $120 on amazon. Don't know if I would put the SQ value at the price point just yet but they certainly don't sound like no damn $28 earphone. Lol. I was so expecting a big bass earphone only to be greeted with a clean enthusiast U neutralish tuning. Airy and detailed with better extension in the bass and treble than I have heard anything at this price. They do sound touch thin sounding but they definitely impressed out of the box. Will have to burn them in to get the truth out of them. I will do a full write up on both these earphones for NiceHCK but
Going back to the NK10. They come with a very nice 8 Core SPC single ended brown colored cable. You bet I have a 2 pin all silver balanced cable on it's way to me as I type just for these earphones. These are definitely worthy out of the box. I look forward to getting to know both these earphones.
