Resounding Bass

The Kiwi Ears Quartet was designed around our new isobaric double dynamic driver subwoofer. The innovative driver design utilizes two 10mm titanium diaphragms drivers, each independently driven by dual magnetic circuits. The pair of drivers were passively aligned to be phase synced and prevent soundwave cancellation. This new subwoofer design emits extremely well extended sub-bass kicks that are tighter, faster, and deeper than any other previous woofer designs. The Quartet is Kiwi Ear’s answer for all those who want a fun in-ear monitor that will provide all the quality bass one could need.

 

 

Harmonious Balance

Although the Quartet is a bass-centric IEM, we still aimed to provide a natural tonal balance. This goal was centered around the need to provide a textured and powerful bass, but without any muddying or dulling in the mids or treble. The dynamic drivers were crossed over using a passive low-pass network at 350Hz to allow plenty of rich and thick bass, while the mids from 350-1kHz were tuned to be completely flat.

 

This allows an accurate tonality in the mids like that of neutral studio monitors, while giving a hint of warmth in the lower mids. This means the Quartet will sound thunderous in the bass, but still clean and flat in the mids, preventing unwanted bloating found in most earphones. 

 

 

Custom Balanced Armature Drivers

The Quartet features a custom mid-high frequency balanced armature and a custom ultra-high tweeter balanced armature drivers. These drivers were modified to fit the balance of the new dynamic drivers by a tuned venting system to provide more airflow. Following Kiwi Ears’ tradition, the balanced armatures are passively tuned to fit our in-house target curvature for the mids and trebles. This means the mid-treble provides crisp and clean tone to vocals and instruments, without sounding either dull or nasally. The highs are detailed with plenty of sparkle for professional performance usage, but are natural and free of shrillness or fatigue. 

 

 

The Quartet can be thought of as neutral studio monitors, but with sub-bass and bass emphasis beginning at 350Hz. This provides a little bit more of body, texture, and richness in the lower mids, but neutral mids and upper mids. The Quartet is perfect for performance drummers and bass guitarists who require powerful and impactful lows. Music enthusiasts who want quality bass but a natural tonality will also benefit from the Quartet’s tuning balance.

The pair found a place in my people’s collection despite the 100$ category being so competitive. Following the name and fame of the DUNU Kima, DUNU is back again with a redesigned variant for the excellent set, introducing the all-new DUNU Kima Classic. Despite having the same shell design and driver configuration, the DUNU Kima Classic brings a new flavor with readjusted tuning profile. The pair has a different tuning to that of the OG Kima, it has a punchier, livelier tuning that suits Pop music well enough!!

The Next Generation of Hi-Fi

Experience the perfect fusion of sound quality and versatility with the Raptgo BRIDGE in-ear tribrid Hi-Fi earphones. Combining cutting-edge technology and innovative design, these earphones are tailored to satisfy the needs of audiophiles and casual listeners alike.

 

 

Triple Driver Type configuration

Like its name, the Bridge brings together three different types of drivers by using two balanced armature (BA), two dynamic (DD), and one piezoelectric (PZT) drivers. With a total of five drivers per side, the Bridge delivers a completely full and coherent sound that is energetic, detailed, and natural. Two custom high-frequency balanced armature drivers deliver pristine and clear trebles that articulates every nuance of micro details. This is supported by a 6mm air-conduction dynamic coil driver that adds additional fullness and body to the upper-mids and trebles, allowing better coherence between the driver types. A 10mm custom dynamic driver powers an impactful bass and rich low-mids that are textured to add comprehensive depth and body to instruments. Finally, a 10mm double-sided 12-layer PZT full-range driver brings about an airy atmosphere and holographic soundstage that effectively enhances the perceived resolution and audio quality. All of these drivers are painstakingly brought together using a four-way crossover network that accurately layers instruments.

 

 

SSCE Patent Technology

The problem with many PZT drivers is their low output, resulting in ineffective contribution of the driver to the overall sound. Using Raptgo’s proprietary SSCE (Sound Superposition Compensation Effect) technology, the air conduction driver is powered in succession with the PZT driver for a more effective bone conduction. This provides a superior PZT driver effect that can truly be experienced for the first time.

 

 

Tuning Switches

The Raptgo BRIDGE is equipped with 2 tuning switches, allowing you to adjust the sound profile to your preference. Switch 1 adjusts high-frequency levels, while Switch 2 controls high and low gain modes across the entire frequency range.

 

 

Interchangeable Metal Filters

The Raptgo BRIDGE comes with three sets of interchangeable metal filters, providing different sound profiles. The black filter offers a standard mode, the gold filter enhances high frequencies, and the silver filter delivers a balanced mode. Using a combination of metal filters and the tuning switches, you can define the perfect sound for your preference. The Bridge is the one stop solution for all of your sound preferences.

 

 

Multifunctional Earphone Storage Box

The BRIDGE earphones come with a newly designed multifunctional storage box for storing earphones, cables, silicone sleeves, and metal tuning filters. The box also features dedicated slots for third-party adapters and cables. This design keeps your earphones safe, and also allows you to take all of your accessories with you wherever you go.

 

 

High Sensitivity and Wide Frequency Range

With a sensitivity of 105dB SPL/mW in standard mode and 109dB SPL/mW in high-gain mode, the BRIDGE earphones deliver powerful sound across a frequency range of 20Hz-40KHz. The ability to adjust your gain makes it perfect for any output source, regardless of its power ratings.

 

 

Comfortable Fit

The Bridge’s design was conceived to allow users to wear them comfortably for even long listening sessions. The lightweight and durable shell is shaped to fit snugly in the ear, while its angled nozzle was designed to comfortably seal within the ear canal. The semi-open back shell design enhances a life-like soundstage, while minimizing uncomfortable air-pressure buildup.

XSL X-One: Chinese earphones claiming low-cost final A8000

XSL X-One

XSL X-One

 

The product we will be featuring this time is the XSL X-One, a clone-type Chinese earphone of the final A8000 made by XSL, an emerging brand of Chinese earphones.

 

Reproduces the sound of the final A8000 quite faithfully.

The X-ONE is tuned based on the popular final Audio A8000 in Japan, and the brand claims that its sound quality reproduction reaches more than 85% of that of the original A8000. If the price of only $50 is comparable to most of the sound of the $1000 final A8000, it may indeed be a flagship-class earphone, as they claim.

 

 

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Driver type: Single dynamic driver
  • Frequency Response: 8-48kHz
  • Sensitivity: 108dB
  • Impedance: 32 ohm

In terms of specifications, these earphones have fairly standard specifications. It is not considered to be an earphone that is difficult to sound on a smartphone. It is claimed that the frequency range extends to 48kHz, equivalent to high-resolution, but we do not know what it actually is because the measurements published by the manufacturer itself are for the audible range of 20-20kHz to begin with. At the very least, they probably have not obtained a "Hi-Res" certification.

 

XSL X-One

 

外観の美しさ

The housing appears to be made of CNC aluminum. The faceplate is divided into five asymmetrical inclined planes and seems to be sculpted with a three-dimensional three-dimensional sense. This is probably inspired by the original A8000, but since the lower models of the A series, such as the original A3000 and A4000, have a resin housing, the metal housing may at least be superior in terms of durability.

 

XSL states that the aluminum alloy was chosen not only for its aesthetic appearance and durability, but also for its stable acoustic performance.

 

It doesn't look cheap, even when seen in person in the video review and other reviews discussed below. It is sandblasted and appears to have a rather high-quality appearance.

 

XSL X-One

XSL X-One

DLC Driver

The driver, the core of the sound, uses a 10mm diameter DLC (diamond-like carbon) diaphragm.

 

Hi Fri, famous for his disassembled reviews on Head-fi, posted disassembled photos, suggesting that the driver is in the same class as the $599 "MiM Audio Dark Magician," which was once a hot topic.

www.ear-phone-review.com

 

www.head-fi.org

 

Dark Magician has a CNT diaphragm and X-One has a DLC diaphragm, which may seem different at first glance, but DLC diaphragms are often referred to as CNT diaphragms with a DLC coating, so perhaps it is not contradictory to say they are of identical quality.

 

The MiM Audio Dark Magician is a minor but controversial model that has generated a lot of speculation among some Chinese earphone enthusiasts due to its similar appearance to the FAudio, and reviews that it is quite superior in terms of sound quality.

 

While I don't think the Dark Magician will take the crown from the Tanchjim Oxygen, which I have always loved and considered the finest dynamic-driver earphones, I think it can share the single dynamic-driver crown as a close equal. I think Dark Magician can share the crown of single dynamic driver as a near equal, though not quite taking the crown.

XSL X-One Review

My favorite Mr. Akros has posted an early review.

 

 

The X-One has a normal signature, however from neutral you can tell that the bass is quite pronounced. Some would consider it a bit darker and warmer sounding.

 

www.youtube.com



That seems like a reasonable opinion to me. I would have to actually measure it, but the midrange area seems to be relatively clean and well-defined.

 

Conclusion

The XSL lineup also includes a model called XSL X-Zero, which seems to be influenced by the Tripowin Olina and Mele designs. My guess is that it is almost identical to the XINHS XINHS-02.

 

XSL is obviously being contracted by the same kind of OEM contractor as the more successful top-tier overseas brands such as Tripowin, and seems to be drawing on the tuning data and other know-how gained from working with these brands.

 

The low-priced earphone industry in China is not only improving in quality, but the know-how of successful models is being immediately applied to other brands, and even unknown emerging brands seem to be able to offer superior products.

 

Aside from the overall quality of the package, the build quality of the XSL X-One seems to be as good as that of earphones priced at $100 or more, and the sound quality seems reasonable compared to previous Chinese earphones.

 

Above all, in the past, when Chinese earphones referenced foreign models, it was common for them to make and sell inferior copies of counterfeit products. Recently, however, there has been a shift toward offering products like X-One, which offer the same sound and quality as products from more expensive developed countries, but at a lower price. This seems to be a change that cannot be ignored. In other words, the confidence that Chinese brands can already compete with brands from developed countries may be reflected in this change in sales methods.
