(Chi-fi IEM Review) NF Audio NM2+: Excellent studio monitor earphones

The NF Audio NM2+ is the first choice for users who are looking for a practical studio monitor for DTMs at a low price. It reproduces the sound of monitor speakers quite faithfully. The audio specs are excellent and far beyond the value of…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) KZ ZEX: Lacks a sense of construction, but has high resolution. Unique dynamic warm sound that is rich and full.

The technical performance of the KZ ZEX is excellent, offering a sound comparable to the high end for an earphone that costs just under $30. However, the tuning is not to everyone's taste, pursuing the usual KZ hobby, and basically it is v…

(IEM Review) Westone Pro X30: Stage monitor with emphasis on midrange. Not for everyday music appreciation. Good for listening to explanatory videos or practicing your instrument.

(Chi-fi IEM Review) BGVP DM8: A beautiful earphone that provides a mellow midrange with high resolution

The BGVP DM8 is a Chinese earphone that can be recommended to those who want to enjoy the midrange harmoniously and mellowly. The resolution is very close to outstanding considering the price, the vocal expression is very beautiful, and cl…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) Tripowin x HBB Olina: Very good texture representation, high resolution and speaker-like forward localization. Very good earphones that completely transcend the price.

The Tripowin x HBB Olina is one of the great earphones that offers very high quality, high resolution neutral sound for a low price in the $100 range. It unquestionably fits at the top of my recommendation list.

(Chi-fi IEM Review) CCA CA10: A psychedelic sound created by a true genius. The junk feeling all over again!

If you want to taste a weird, sort of psychedelic, freaky, junk food sound, CCA CA10 is not to be missed. A brand with true talent doesn't think outside the box. From these earphones, I can hear the "sound field? Localization? Coherency? T…

(News) Yu9 Audio U-556: An innovative Etymotic clone at a reasonable price

Yu9 Audio's Etymotic clone earphones, the Yu9 Audio U-556, have been released.

(Chi-fi IEM Review) Tripowin × HBB MELE: Perfect midrange for superb texture expression. Mild and suitable for those who are sensitive to high frequencies, but lacks dynamism in expression, which is a clear drawback.

The Tripowin x HBB MELE is a gospel for audiophiles who love accurate textural representation. In a slightly narrow sound field with a slightly forward localization, the Tripowin x HBB MELE is able to capture the entire musical image in a …

(Chi-fi IEM Review) BQEYZ Autumn: High resolution and well-balanced sound. Mild high frequency range, suitable for those who are concerned about stinging; low frequency range can be adjusted with three different tuning filters.

When I think of BQEYZ, I can't help but think of the brand as being strong in piezo-multi hybrids, so the perfection of the single dynamic driver was unknown to me, and I personally doubted the quality of the BQEYZ Autumn. However, the wel…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) TRN TA2: Not bad if you like a dense, warm sound, but it's a non-mainstream sound in TRN.

The TRN TA2 has a narrow V-shaped sound that is focused in the midrange. The sound image is slightly condensed in the front, making it easy to understand the overall picture of the music, but also making it sound cramped. The mid-range is …

(Chi-fi IEM Review) KZ × HBB DQ6S: Warm neutral sound like Mele. The Mele has a better sound balance, but if you like a cleaner sound, this one is for you.

The sound signature of the KZ DQ6S is a warm neutral sound with a full midrange, and since Tripowin x HBB Mele had a similar warm neutral sound, I guess this is the sound that HBB likes.

(True Wireless Earbuds Review) SoundPEATS Air3 Pro: High resolution in the mid-range, but localization is difficult to understand and can sound muddy.

SoundPEATS Air3 Pro doesn't have the deep, heavy, lively bass that traditional SoundPEATS fans love, nor does it have the streamlined, audiophile tuning that SoundPEATS has been known for lately. I'd like to believe that this is not a chan…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) TINHiFi T3 Plus: Accurate texture expression with perfect midrange. Front localization that perfectly reproduces the speaker sound. High resolution, ultra low distortion. Excellent build quality. Everything is beyond the price.

TinHiFi T3 Plus is one of the best earphones for audiophiles who love accurate texture representation. With its natural textures, the TinHiFi T3 Plus makes the whole music sound like a monitor speaker with forward localization and especial…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) CCA CRA: This model is an improved version of the ZEX Pro. Equal resolution, heavier and more powerful bass, improved high frequency extension and peaks.

The CCA CRA is a model that inherits the basic concept of the ZEX Pro, but with a different driver configuration to provide a nearly upward compatible sound at a lower price. The overall impression is much improved, and I would personally …

(Chi-fi IEM Review) Tripowin Lea: Singing earphones with beautiful textural expression, high-resolution and transparent midrange.

Tripowin Lea is a new star in the low price range. Along with the CCA CRA in the same price range, it will be the first budget hero of 2022. It has outstanding specs for its price. In contrast to the dynamic, V-shaped CRA, the Lea excels a…

(True Wireless Earbuds Review) QCY T17: Emphasis is placed on the sound field, and the sound is extended, fresh, high-resolution, and high-definition. However, the midrange is thin.

The QCY T17 has a refined sound that is a brighter overall version of the T13 sound. If you prefer a sound that is more delicate, brighter, fresher, and has a wider soundstage, the T17 is a better choice than the T13. I don't know if it is…

(Chi-fi IEM Review) Audiosense AQ4: Although it is labeled as the successor and evolution of the famous AQ3, it sounds completely different from it.

If you are aware of the fame of the AudioSense AQ3 and intend to buy it hoping that the AudioSense AQ4 will produce such a sound, you should reconsider now. In that case, you will have to buy the DT200. And if you want to know the true app…
