An audio review & news blog. The volume should not exceed 80 dB is recommended. I usually adhere to the safe-listening style by WHO. Please note that my aural impressions and interpretations of measurements are also made from a safe-listening style.

The model we're going to talk about is Shozy Rouge. Shozy is a Chinese manufacturer of high-quality in-ear monitors (IEMs) and is known for its extensive product line. Most recently, the Shozy Form 1.4 has been well received by audiophiles.

Unboxing

Shozy also delayed sales of the regular packaging for Form 1.4, so packaging may change for later production runs. The packaging I got is very simple and the accessories are minimal, but the quality of the carrying case is good and not cheap. However, it is true that the unpacking experience is bare bones.

 

The build quality of the body is good and the jewel-like ear shells are very classy.

All in all, the sound signature is pretty close to flat and could be described as a gentle U shape. Midrange focus is good.

hifigo.com

 

The low frequencies are weighted and expansive, rather gentle and elastic. Bass drums and low frequency strings tend to sound swollen and swollen, so they float well and support the midrange well. Hot air is reasonably well controlled and not excellent in layering, but it doesn't bleed into the midrange, and the contours of the low frequency sounds are relatively clear. It's not a great low frequency prospect, but it's not too muddy and has plenty of live presence. However, it can sound a bit noisy in some places, and some people will think it sounds like a sand bath.

 

The midrange connects well with the low end, sounding thick, sweet and full, while the upper midrange and high midrange are quiet and tighter sounding due to the quietness of the upper midrange. The vocals are plump and warm, with plenty of sweetness and rich body. The vocals are rational, and the instrumental sounds are stable and rich, with a solid, rich sound. It seems to work well with pop music.

 

The mid-highs are quiet and tight, and vocal focus is good. The highs are tight, with violin and woodwinds sounding slim and extended, and the hi-hat is calm and less glare, quiet and transparent, but sounds stringy and fibrous.

 

As a whole, it is finished in a warm sound, and realizes a slim sound that emphasizes quietness and tightness. The sound design is slim and long, and the vocals have a sweetness and no consonant peaks, but you can enjoy the singing voice that is vertically long and with a high level of breath. It is a sound field with a high sense of density in the low frequency range, but with a sense of depth, it is inclined a little in the back and has an appropriate width.

The music used in the recording signature is from the game maker Nippon Falcom, which I love.

Final verdict

Comprehensive evaluation: ★★★★★

If you love sweet vocal expression, you're sure to love these earbuds. There's an inviting space for sweet vocals to sing languidly over the warm bass support. The packaging is simple, but the build quality of the unit is good and the accessories are adequate.
