They are so sweet, so lovely
Very very particular tuning, here we are not looking
for perfection but for the pleasure.
They don't go unnoticed.
They forgive old recordings so well.
Perfect for this music (but not only):

My god, the reverb of the second and third thunder in the 2nd movement of Summer
Yep. Eras have little to do with recording quality. So many rock albums have sounded like total garbage since the loudness wars infected studios in the early 90s, while Sir George Martin's Beatles' albums are impeccably recorded, mixed and mastered. And his son Giles' remasters of the Fab Four's catalog are even better, if that's possible.
You're killing me with that handwriting...
Planned to finish reviewing the ACE but ended up listening and compulsively wrote down impressions of the EA1000 instead. Most of its aspects are alright and the DD being used here is quite good, but that stage is what this set interesting. It’s like there is another set of speakers outside the ear canals slightly echo the midrange notes. It’s subtle, kinda like the subtle effect of the vibrating plates (aka “bone conduction driver”) in MEST III.
Isolation is quite poor though. In louder environments, the lower mid is masked so I need to turn up the volume, and the shoutiness was unbearable with female vocal tracks.
Bass is kinda dry, but clean, hits deep, and quite textured.
I’ll keep burning in this set (aka listening every day)
I have a couple of these same cablesNo emoji can express just how sad but true that is.
In other news, EPZ Q5 is still such a well tempered single DD at its welcoming price.
So basically like Simgot?The most compact BQEYZ set yet?
These are my initial impressions of BQEYZ CLOUD. BQEYZ is quite well-known for their innovative approach to the point that they are quite experimental in that regard and this new model is one of them. This one has a hybrid driver system consisting of dynamic driver and flexible auxiliary diaphragm unit which is BQEYZ's take on passive radiator and these components were housed in a metal alloy shell casing. The size of the shells is probably the most compact one among the BQEYZ sets that I've tested so far and this one will have no issues to folks with smaller lugholes.
As for tonality, this set is somehow divagating towards neutralish-bright tuning on how this tuning is more focused on the upper-mids up to the entirety of the treble region. Bright, sparkly and airy, as I describe it clearly as it will better on females vocals, strings, woodwinds and some chordophone percussives. But in my opinion, treble-sensitive folk might stay cautious on these particular types of tuning to their sensitivity of their hearing level limits.
For technical capabilities, BQEYZ products are known to have these strongest assets and the good thing is that the CLOUD has its DNA in these aspects. Excellent stereo imaging with layering and separation, a quite spacious sound field and pretty highly resolving in terms of micro-dynamics.
Check out my full review later.
AMEN! The Simgot EA500LM playing through the Sony A45 on high gain with NO amp playing Between the Buried And Me - Colors is a aural pleasure at the outskirts of budget.The studio behind this recording is incredible. (It goes without saying that the musicians are excellent)
One of the best rendition of four season violin concerti that I have ever listened.
@PhonoPhi not that I’m “industry insider” or anything but I do have the pleasure to talk to a few reps here and there. Most are not that insidiousthey are usually as geeky and passionate as you and I, if not more.
But yeah, I always wonder where the crossover between cheap and expensive gear is, especially if the cheap(er) gear has the same drivers and technology. But someone earlier today raised a good point: it’s sometimes cheaper to reverse engineer the R&D of others.
Anyhow, there is no shortage of good stuff at any price.

If the high res version means they improved the timbre and resolution at the top end with the Trio, which is where I feel is the weakness, as it's average, then maybe it's a potential buy? But everything else must remain the same?!I took one for the team and picked up the High-Resolution version. Debating on if I grab the balanced one for science.
My iFi Zen stack will take good care of that bass responseSome one has been reading too many @Redcarmoose review?
It seems that the hi-res vader is the same but less bass response
