    Review by 'briantbrain' on item '7Hz Sonus'

    Since these IEMs have reached the "burnt" maturity level in Indonesia and I just got a chance to try them, let's turn on the stove and oil, then soak them again until they are no longer burnt but dissolved into powder mixed with oil. Here we go... 7Hz Sonus. ==DISCLAIMER== All my impressions...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'HIDIZS S8 PRO ROBIN'

    Firstly, thanks to Hidizs for sending the Hidizs S8 Pro Robin unit for an honest review. If it's bad, I'll say it's bad, and if it's good, I'll say it's good. From the initial release, I was quite interested in this dongle DAC because it looks cooler than my other Hidizs dongle DAC, the S9 Pro...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'Simgot EA500 LM'

    Some time ago, I reviewed the Simgot EM6L, and thankfully, many people asked, "What's the difference between the Simgot EA500LM and EM6L since the price difference is minimal?" Without further ado, here's what you need to know. Straight to the Point... Simgot EA500LM ==DISCLAIMER== All my...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'Kinera Celest PhoenixCall Multi-Driver Tribrid IEMs'

    Beauty Requires Investment At first, I was reluctant to review it since it hasn’t gained much traction in Indonesia. But after seeing the IEM, it looked stunning, and the driver configuration intrigued me with the inclusion of a micro planar driver. Does that mean it's a smaller planar driver...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'Tinhifi C2'

    One Step Closer to the Surface of the Rabbit Hole I think I remember when this IEM first came out around late 2022 and started to hype up in early 2023, it had quite a bit of enthusiasm from the Indonesian community. This review is a bit late, but well, because I was given the opportunity and I...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'EPZ Q5'

    After previously reviewing its sibling, the EPZ Q1 Pro released in 2024, it turns out that EPZ also released the Q5 in late 2023. I thought the Q1 Pro would be an improvement over the Q5, but why is the Q5 slightly more expensive? And graphically, there doesn't seem to be a noticeable...

    ==DISCLAIMER== All my impressions and reviews are subjective and follow the belief of "I only deceive my savings; my reviews are always honest." Agree? Okay. Disagree? Okay. I review because I want to and because I enjoy it, not because I need to haha. "But you're saying this probably because...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'KEFINE DELCI'

    First released with their Planar IEM, the Kefine Klanar, which can be considered quite successful as it's well-liked by many, Kefine launches its latest IEM, but this time with a Single Dynamic Driver configuration. Haven't had the chance to test the Kefine Klanar, so I went straight to testing...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'Sennheiser IE 900'

    "The IEM Endgame for me" is a statement I used to believe in until I reached the point where even after defeating the Final Boss, another Final Boss emerges when our game (hobby) gets an update patch (the release of the latest IEM). So, I titled this review "Chapter 1" because this IEM has...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'ARTTI R1'

    Thank you to Mr. Harmoko Lie for lending these IEMs to me for an honest review, listening with my own ears, language, and typing. I've seen these IEMs a few times, and from the faceplate and materials used, it seems decent for its price range (around 1.2 million rupiah). Until someone was...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'Simgot EM6-L'

    After reviewing the EW200 as one of the budget IEMs, which turned out to have a Single DD that is tuned very well for its price range, I became curious about other Simgot IEMs, what are they like? Moved by seeing its Frequency Graph which is V-Shape with Sub-Bass slightly more elevated than its...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'HiSenior Mega5EST'

    Now let's discuss the HiSenior IEM, which apparently many people like abroad but not so much in Indonesia. Not without reason, but let's just talk about it: Mega5EST. Let's dive in! ==DISCLAIMER== All my impressions and reviews are subjective and follow the belief of "I only deceive my...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'LETSHUOER DZ4'

    Letshuoer in Indonesia seems to have gained popularity since the S12 Pro. The reason is clear, an IEM Planar that falls under the "Indonesian student budget" category and tonally favored by many audiophiles, namely V-Shape. I remember auditioning it and indeed the Mid part sounded far from...

    Review by 'briantbrain' on item 'KINERA VERDANDI'

    Impulsive buying seems to describe my purchase of this IEM perfectly. How so? While spending a week in the hospital, instead of focusing on rest, I couldn't help but notice how stunning this IEM looked. Without much thought, I impulsively checked out for $1199, haha. Turns out, my impulsive...
