Today I bring you the MagicOne, Aful's dramatic release that got many tongues going. This IEM is a science novel put into practice, aiming for a new breakthrough by maxing out a single BA driver's potencial into a full frequency range, whilst shocking the world in the meanwhile. I don't find it a warm design, rather a neutral tune with some light boosts on bass, upper mids and treble, almost resembling a soft W-shape (in between U and W shape). I find it versatile across music genres but it has its quirks, especially regarding the IEM insertion...

I'm getting it immediately out of my chest - what an enlightening experience, I'm both overwhelmed as well as amazingly surprised by this set.

Today we will literally dive, ocean deep, into the new planar rendition from Hidizs, the MP145, awaited by many at their doorstep, which I'm sure will be well accepted by the kickstarter backers. This unit is part of a review tour promoted by Hidizs, of which I thank and honor the opportunity. I'm coming from an inexperienced perspective when it comes to planar IEMs, having only tried the PR2 and SPD (square planar driver) designs. Consequently, this take of mine might be of help for people who are glooming over upgrading into the latest driver...

Coming back from a short hiatus that I truly believe I needed, having spent days listening to music rather than IEMs, I found myself grabbing the Wyvern Pro more frequently than I had anticipated, so I believe I have a considerable amount of time with these, hence this "late review". I was blessed by Kinera/Celest with this unit for reviewing and constructive criticism purposes, of which I honor and thank. The Wyvern Pro is Celest's (Kinera's sister company) new budget roster addition, a full-on IEM and accessories combo that is bringing a lot of...

Greetings fellow audiophily affictionados, today we will be taking a deeper look and listen into EPZ's new single 10mm dynamic driver with a dual cavity and dual magnetic circuit design - the Q5! This unit was a gift from the well known and community recognized reviewer, Akros (António Teixeira), a fellow countryman of mine who has taken the extra step to support and motivate me, a beginner audiophile. I will take this chance to challenge you to a similar attitude, introducing a fellow friend or audiophily beginner to a IEM set you own and can...

CVJ KES - An Ultra-budget Quality Statement The KES is CVJ's new ultra budget single DD IEM set, that comes prioritizing driver quality over accessories, as it should be, and ends up successfully stamping the quality seal. CVJ has been opening their horizons listening to client feedback, immediately bringing them positive results and inspiring a new brand era. This unit was kindly sent my way for an honest and transparent review, of which I thank and honor the trust. Onwards to what matters: Sub-Bass Above average in amounts, which adds to the...

Greetings fellow audio enthusiasts, Today I'll be reviewing CVJ's new ultra budget IEM with tuning switches, the TXS. It carries a single Dynamic-Driver under its hood to deliver 3 variations of a U-shape sound signature. In this review I'll take a different approach in reviewing an IEM. This is due to the nature of the tuning switches that offer 3 mildly different tunings, for 3 different suggested uses: Cell Phone Mode (media and calls), Gaming Mode and HiFi Mode. This unit was sent over to me by CVJ for an honest review, of whom I thank for the...

I am hereby summarizing my opinions on the R6 Pro II, taken from very illuminative impressions. Please keep in mind that I am a beginner reviewer (thanks once again for the opportunity) and I had never heard a DAP before. The closest I have had to it was my Cowon J3 player, a decade ago. To make this easier, I have compared this one directly to my daily use dongle, the Jcally AP10, which is mostly neutral packing a dual CS43131 and has the following power capabilities: 1.8V/3.8V on the 4.4 bal output, and 0.9V/1.8V on the 3.5mm output; being low and...

Coming late to the party, I have taken my time to both give this set some burn-in as well as to mature my ideas after taking a break from them. At first I didn't enjoy them, to later come to conclusions on why I think they have been so valued and have actually grown on me. Kinera's sub-brand Celest has been working up the ranks with a budget mindset, whilst taking bold risks that so far have done them well. Gumiho is their first iteration on Planar technology, using their own 10mm Square Planar Driver (SPD) design, pairing it with a BA driver...

A Modern Take on Laid-back Listening - Tangzu Wan'er S.G. Review 2022 wasn't complete before TangZu shook the audio market with a new 20$ budget competitor, presenting us with the Wan'er S.G. A lot of jokes regarding its name have come by and got stale, but what has stood heroically untouched was its great performance. This single dynamic driver IEM has lifted up the bar considerably, not only in terms of price to performance ratio, aesthetics, as well as the unboxing experience, which is somewhat unique and unexpected at this price range. I...
