Final Audio ZE3000

Final Audio's ZE3000 takes its name from its wired namesake's E3000, the brand's most widely recognised wired earphones. It's "a perfect companion for long listens without any fatigue" to Headfonics. Headfonia welcomed this wireless wonder, and Major HiFi gave it a Gold Award. ZE3000's sweet, intense vocal emphasis follows its owner where ever they may go. Overcoming the issues of distortion levels and space constraints in each earbud were carried out in typically novel Final manner. [See Product Desc. For More] f-Core for Wireless is what ZE3000's 6mm dynamic driver has been christened, its ability to act as if it was a much wider radiating surface a particular breakthrough. ZE3000 also brings f-LINK Damping System to bear, optimising the pressure in the acoustic space inside the earbuds housing to create a sound equivalent to wired earphones without the need for external vents. This makes it possible to properly control the low frequencies and reproduce vocals simultaneously, both issues that have been traditionally difficult to achieve with true wireless earbuds. The usual TWS paraphernalia accompanies ZE3000 here, with Final adding Qualcomm aptX, aptX Adaptive and IPX4 water resistance so it keeps up fully with the times on connectivity and function.

[CLEARANCE] iBasso IT07 -- SOLD! --

--- SOLD! --- iBasso Audio releasing a flagship UIEM is exciting, and certainly tuned for excitement is the brand-new IT07. This seven-driver hybrid puts top quality components at your service, as a graphene dynamic driver for bass props up six premium Knowles balanced armatures. [See Product Desc. For More] IT07 proves its worth at the bottom and at the top of the spectrum, thrilling with its bass and treble performance. There's the option to dial these in further yet, with included interchangeable acoustic filters within reach to suit multiple sources, tastes and music genres. Tasteful emphasis of the frequency extremes flank a lucid and spacious mid-range performance that flows effortlessly, its liquidity reminiscent of AM05. Emotive vocals never risk being overshadowed. Audio123 sees this as a legitimate step up from iBasso's previous IT04 in a comparison with today's popular flagship UIEMs. Headfonics has "no complaints because it does so many things very well ... Tesla driver can dig deep into the bass, the vocals sound very smooth and clear and the highs are clean and crisp with an overall balanced frequency response". MOONSTAR Reviews and Twister6 compare it favouribly with other flagships of its day, with IT07 holding its own against Meze's Rai Penta and 64 Audio's tia Trió, among the rest. An excellent stock cable terminated in balanced 2.5mm comes included, to work from the box with iBasso's DC01 USB-C DAC dongle, or one of our music players here. // RECOMMENDED: Upgrade with the IBASSO CB16 if you're part of the 4.4mm club.

Oriolus Szalayi UIEM

The comfort zone. Oriolus build Szalayi with a planar-magnetic driver to sit at the epicentre of everyone's listening tastes and budget. This tri-brid enlists a 14mm planar for mids and flanks it with one dynamic driver and balanced armature, meeting Head-Fi's sweet spot for performance. It's typical that Oriolus blended three vastly different transducer topologies so seamlessly. Szalayi's three drivers sing in unison, and its coherency leads to a mid-price pinnacle of performance. For that it made its way onto Headfonia's Recommended Buys list. Headfonics say it's "an impressive IEM for bass heads ... capable of delivering a thunderous bass response with a clean and crisp mid-range". Bass and mids are convincingly portrayed with palpable dynamics and presence, topped off by a sprinkling of treble air that is ever delicate and finessed. Szalayi's authoritative, downward-sloping performance never strays out of our sonic comfort zone. [See Product Desc. For More] What a heavyweight Oriolus have on their hands, the clever utilisation of drivers perfect for rendering their assigned frequencies with excellent realism and resolution. Szalayi's star is undoubtedly its 14mm planar-magnetic mid-range driver. With a diaphragm less than two microns thick, mid-range frequencies are rendered with vanishingly low distortion. Despite its large surface area, the low mass of Oriolus's planar unit means it's always under the control of its magnetic array. Transients are produced instantly and effortlessly, without having to worry about modal break-up. Indeed, Szalayi's thin vibrating surface needs minimal excursion to move plenty of air, reproducing tons of information, as a straight plane. This grants the simultaneous sense of presence and articulation balanced armature counterparts comparatively struggle to balance. With planar-magnetic drivers on the ascendency in multi-ways, Oriolus weighed in quickly and convincingly to define a new era in IEMs. That's because the sum of Szalayi's strengths lies in the contributions of its supporting cast. A stiff 10mm dynamic driver plumbs the lows, with the excellent excursion of audio's oldest transducer technology – perfect for producing a long, slow bass wave that descends in frequency and rumbles away in Szalayi's sub regions. Up high, a balanced armature takes over as the planar mid driver becomes directional and rolls off. Freed from having to move air beyond its means, this specialised tweeter's low distortion is the reason Oriolus's trademark clean, airy and refined treble can be implemented in the brand's latest star. Certainly, the story of Szalayi is one that produces music as it was recorded, adding few artifacts of its own and being true in its playback. There's always a demand for accuracy, and the sheer competence of Oriolus's latest child is bound to show up played through Questyle Audio's M15i, HiBy Music's R6III and iBasso Audio's Amp8 MKII for DX240. For those wanting to move beyond mere proficiency and instead be held spellbound by their music, the flagships from Oriolus await here. Otherwise, browse the rest of our IEMs here.

Sennheiser IE600

600 means so much more than a number to Sennheiser. After the HD600 proved so much of a generational product, naming the IE600 shows exactly the expectations Sennheiser have for their next genre-defining IEM. StereoNET gave it an Applause Award and didn't expect Sennheiser's middle-child to mount such a shot at the top. Headfonics found it the "most credible-sounding monitor I have tested from Sennheiser in a while". "Ad perfectum compromissum" is what Headfonia say "IE600 really is, the perfect blend between the reference IE900 and the super-fun IE300". Sure enough, IE600 is the name on every audiophile's lips. The iconic number permeates all levels of Head-Fi, and it's impossible not to be excited by another watershed release that will become so much more than a great transducer to gravitate around. [See Product Desc. For More] We know we've reached another height of research and development – Sennheiser's buzzwords – when this single dynamic driver wonder swept to multiple awards at launch. T3 and LBTechreviews both score IE600 full marks. the Ear cites it's a great example of a premium wired earbud's supremacy. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Sennheiser have tuned IE600 with the best form of neutrality, the kind that every discerning – even mildly – music lover can come to enjoy. Universally. Because there is always something to love from a transducer that can simultaneously render accurate bass, and properly judged vocals. Being able to deliver detail without compromise, yet not needing to die by being able to hear everything as its only asset. IE600 gets so much right without even trying, a veritable sweet spot everyone loves. The real significance of the 600 moniker, on show. Darko.Audio podcast · Sennheiser IE 900, IE 600 & IE 200: the what & the why Pairs of by-now standard 7mm TrueResponse drivers built in Wedemark, Germany, form IE600's beating heart. An acoustic back volume to the dynamic driver's rear, and dual resonator chambers to the front, give this the basis to perform. Sennheiser unlock IE600's tuning potential from the drawing board, 7mm diameter small enough to climb in frequency without cone or modal break-up, while supplying it with enough air volume to move and manifest a long, slow bass wave with full authority. Moving up, IE600 wouldn't be a Sennheiser if it was without soundstage. So its dual resonator chambers D2CA manage airflow to your ear such that voices and instruments in a realistic headspace get delivered with solid images to your ear. Close your eyes, listen with your ears, and you're there at the venue. Delicately assembled in Ireland, these Sennheisers are built tough.

Project M departs from DITA's previous designs with a redesigned, ergonomic form that strikes a balance between familiarity and distinctiveness, embodying a new era for the brand. Equipped with DITA's revolutionary PM1+ Dynamic Driver and a balanced armature driver, the Project M showcases the prowess of the PM1+ Driver – a 9.8mm dynamic driver exclusively crafted for this model. Serving as the sonic heart of the Project M, the PM1+ Driver imparts the earphones with a signature characterised by texture, clarity, speed, and punchy bass, delivering a full-range sound experience. [See Product Desc. For More] To further enhance the audio landscape, the Project M integrates a single Knowles balanced armature Driver alongside the PM1+ Driver, both housed within a meticulously optimised stainless-steel chamber. Project M does not run contrary to DITA's belief in the use of single-dynamic drivers. This mini-marvel's dynamic driver still operates full-range, with its balanced armature counterpart only picking up where it's been assigned, contributing further in the high-frequencies. The sound produced by the Project M emanates through a custom-molded transfer tube terminating in an aluminum nozzle, maintaining DITA's tradition of tailoring cables for each earphone. Its MOCCA cable, featuring conductors by Cardas from the USA, consists of 16 strands twisted to DITA's specifications and jacketed in a flexible PVC outer layer.

Sennheiser IE200

EDC has a new name – Sennheiser's IE200. Taking IE600 and IE900's DNA to new heights of affordable excellence is Sennheiser's long-awaited entry-level earphone release, with performance exceeding its humble origins. It confidently takes StereoNET's Applause Award. And Headfonics praises IE200 for "this very competitive price point ... get a slice of their higher-end models". Pairs of by-now standard 7mm TrueResponse drivers form IE200's beating heart. And contemporary, exciting, bass and treble response disguises just how friendly its tuning is, for Sennheiser enabled owners to tune their pairs. Whether you're listening on your commute or monitoring with IE200, Sennheiser built in adjustable tuning profiles – by shifting eartip presentations one can enjoy bass reproduction of varying intensity in the same IEM! [See Product Desc. For More] Sennheiser are on a mission to expose the masses to great, balanced sound. Despite being the most affordable entry of the line-up, these German giants unlock IE200's potential from the drawing board. A polymer TrueResponse 7mm driver small and damped enough to climb in frequency without cone or modal break-up, while supplying it with enough air volume to move and manifest a long, slow bass wave with full authority, shows up as standard to give IE200 the basis to perform. Sennheiser apply cost-effective acoustic fleece in IE200's nozzle for much the same purpose as their dual and tri-chamber absorbers found in the IE600 and IE900. Expertly calculated damping material dials in treble performance for diffuse-field equalisation, great soundstage and fatigue-free highs without frequency peaks or troughs that cause masking. And IE200 hides its most unique tuning feature up its sleeve, for owners can position eartips at pre-determined lengths of the nozzle to expose an auxiliary bass vent Sennheiser snuck into the nozzle. Fully-attached eartips sees IE200 default to type with tastefully emphasised bass and treble responses. But sliding them out exposes a vent that tunes down bass quantity, still maintaining the great low-frequency foundation Sennheiser birthed IE200 with – yet giving mid and high frequency detail even more room to shine. Darko.Audio podcast · Sennheiser IE 900, IE 600 & IE 200: the what & the why For those missing their Bluetooth wire-less, worry not – Sennheiser's high quality 3.5mm cable braided for strength and IE200's ergonomic excellence just enhances comfort.

Madoo Type 512

MADOO is a Japanese earphone brand born in 2020. MADOO is a new independent brand of earphones based on a research project by an engineer who studied at Acoustune, a Japanese brand of hi-fi earphones mainly using a single dynamic driver, to create earphones that can compete with their own products, using a different driver configuration. The development of hi-fi earphones began in Japan in 1981 and will celebrate its 40thanniversary in 2021. The concept of MADOO is to create a product that will be able tocompete in the next 10 years, something that has never been done before in the 40 years of earphone history.The first model was developed over a period of about one year, looking at various speaker units and their drive systems, both analogue and digital.High-rigidity housingThe rigidity of the housing is essential to maximize the potential of the driver unit. Thehousing was designed by engineers who have extensive knowledge of metalworking,having worked on cutting tools for Swiss and Japanese luxury watches and German cars.The housing is produced by machining a SUS block using high-precision CNC machining. The housing surface is sandblasted for hardness and the shell is thick enough for most earphones.MIAA" housing architecture and precision controlled schematic designFor maximum reliability and performance, we have developed a unique housingarchitecture called MIAA: MADOO In-ear Acoustic Architecture. All our products aredeveloped based on this architecture. We named the component that holds the drivers together the Driver Box. This driver box is manufactured using a 3D printing process and has a complex function called schematic design.Many multi-driver earphones have a sound tube made of vinyl tubing. However, vinyl tubes suffer from a number of problems, such as the softness of the material itself, the loss of sound due to crushing caused by curvature, and the lack of reproducibility due to inconsistent manufacturing. To solve these problems we have developed a housingarchitecture called "MIAA" and the driver box.Each driver is firmly fixed in place and the sound is guided by an acoustically engineered sound tube. The sound tube is designed using a schematic design and is acoustically optimized with a range of hole diameters, lengths, filters and bores. This makes it possible to deliver great sound. In addition, the 3D printed parts are very precise, controlled to the 0.01mm level. This ensures that the quality of the 3D printed parts is strictly controlled,reducing manufacturing variations and allowing the user to enjoy the sound quality forwhich they were designed.Micro Square PM drivers and customized BA driversThe Micro Square Planar Magnetic is in principle a planar dynamic technology driver. Inside a highly engineered metal box, a planar coil is bonded to a diaphragm made from a highly rigid composite of lightweight metal alloy and super engineering plastics in a membrane shape, driven by a powerful magnet.The diaphragm is driven by a powerful magnet. The direct drive of the coil gives the driver a dynamic tone, while the use of a highly rigid composite diaphragm produces a tight, clear sound. For this project, we used three customized drivers, one for the low frequencies, one for the mid-low frequencies and one for the high frequencies. In order to get the best out of the Micro PM drivers, we used a second-order crossover network with high-capacity capacitors and customized Dual BAs. This gives the sound the right amount of wetness to enhance the Micro PM'S timbre.Sapphire crystal cover to control exhaust pressureSapphire crystal is used to control the pressure at the back, while ensuring a rigidity that cannot be achieved with glass or plastic materials. Manufactured in Japan by Adamant Namiki Precision, a company that produces components for luxury watches and high-end audio accessories, the three planar drivers deliver their full potential and deliver clear bass.

Empire Ears Odin UIEM

Empire Ears launched Odin as the cumulation of all their dreams. With development beginning in 2017, this 11-driver tri-brid pushed every boundary to firmly establish itself as the best IEM Dean and Jack Vang know how to build. Darko Audio says Odin "is really the very summit of what’s possible with portable audio”. READ ALSO Odin & Hero ultimate Empire Ears successors to Zeus Tuned with a linear frequency response in mind to complement the bass-driven Legend EVO, the Odin flanks five balanced armatures with dual W9+ dynamic drivers and four electrostatic drivers for the most complete, lucid sound ever heard. [See Product Desc. For More] Sheer audio resolution, particularly through the mid-range, was subsequently achieved. Even more remarkable is that that was not done at the expense of musicality or cohesiveness; the sweetness to the voices and instruments that populate the mid-ranges of your music has to be heard to be believed. Cayin Audio's N7, iBasso Audio's DX320, and HiBy Music's discrete amplifier music players propel the frequency gamut along with force, as the DAPs of choice to drive Odin's 3ohm load. No stone was left unturned in Odin's design. From PW Audio 1960 cable inclusion to thorough acoustic and crossover engineering, this Viking god is arguably Head-Fi's most complete flagship IEM. Spectacular sound awaits below bespoke, individually unique 'Bifrost' faceplates. Praise has been pouring in: Headfonia immediately elected Odin to its shortlist of best UIEM of 2020, while Twister6 hails this monolith as "the mashup of [Empire Ears] greatest hits". The Headphone List recommends it unabatedly "to those who crave a grand, towering sound ... the Odin will prove as much a technical masterclass as it is a riveting listen". Headfonics declare Odin "a technical beast bar none with masterful levels of control from the dual subwoofer configuration right up to that nuanced treble tuning".

Empire Ears Triton UIEM

It's the bone conduction takeover at Empire Ears with Triton! The third generation of Dean and Jack Vang's Dual Conduction Architecture (DCA) distils the lessons learnt from Empire Ears' own W10. The tri-brid Triton introduces a new level of cost – and sonic – effectiveness after Legend EVO and Raven. Far from being the bass cannon everyone taught it might be, Triton in fact puts in a good word for entertaining neutrality. Here, it sports a pair of new Sonion bone conduction units – that are already carving a reputation for themselves for uncoloured transparency – alongside one custom Empire Ears mids balanced armature and a trademark W9+ bass dynamic driver. Operated efficiently, the latter pair operate conventionally as pressure-based transducers, with Triton's bone conductors literally making their presence felt. These bone conductors are the driving force behind DCA, enhancing both Triton's auditory and tactile elements of music. This fusion works with an expertly designed SynX crossover to ensure that every note resonates with unparalleled precision assigning drivers to the right frequencies. And, thorough tweaks like Anti-Resonance Compound (ARC) and tri-port ventilation are the Empire Ears signature on Triton, truly standing it apart from anything else on the market. [See Product Desc. For More] The benefits of bone conduction are discernible, particularly the way Empire Ears operates them full-range. Music gains a new found solidity as the bone conductors reach one's inner hearing structure through vibration. Music is propelled at you, but the lack of distortion – a benefit of not needing to tax Triton's pressure-based drivers for SPL to generate intangible listener engagement and immersion – is clear. Certainly, without needing to punch too hard by way of artificially overemphasising micro and macro dynamics, combines with Triton's lack of transducer distortion to reduce listener fatigue. Notes are portrayed sweetly and effortlessly. And by not trying too hard, Triton actually fills in the blanks in your music more effectively, conveying emotion. Triton's earth-shaking performance indeed amplifies the performance of the premium dynamic driver and balanced armature Empire Ears chose. ARC aids in the resonance, amplification, and dispersion of sound waves, synergising with other elements to achieve a distinctive sound signature and optimise Triton's acoustic performance. To optimise sound quality, Empire Ears meticulously engineered the enclosure's ventilation system. Precise adjustments to vent size and placement were crucial, as even minor changes significantly impacted audio performance. By carefully calibrating the vented drivers to their ideal volume, Triton's full sonic potential was unlocked. With bone conductors performing for many other conventional pressure-based drivers, the SPL demands on the other cast members was lessened. Triton's Weapon 9+ dynamic woofer for low-frequencies can stick to its assigned range without needing to overcompensate. And Triton's balanced armature particularly benefits as the reduced need to produce SPL leads to less distortion and an edge-less body to their detail. Triton is a show of Empire Ears maturity and is possible also because of the state of maturity the Head-Fi ecosystem is at. DAC/amp and music player sources show up in abundance to drive Triton's very difficult 3ohm load. It starts as simply as Questyle Audio's M15i, with this flagship current-mode DAC/amp ever happier as a voltage source the more it detects a dead short. And the potent output devices of HiBy Music's Class A entry R4, FD5 and R6III are more than up to the task despite their budget status. And then there are the discrete DAC music players which output plenty of juice. Cayin's DSD N7 with its 5 ampere output devices, and HiBy's PWM R8II plus R2R RS8 with inductor power supplies and large, paralleled transistors, promise natural tone, gravitas, soundstage and imaging for audio fireworks. Because Triton is the party that brings all of Head-Fi together; and also every Empire Ears technology – synX crossovers, DCA, ARC, tri-port exhaust vents – under one roof.

Empire Ears Raven UIEM

This was the perfect self-compliment. Empire Ears saw all they had done with their first flagship quad-brid earphone, and saw it was good. They named it Raven. Symbolising wisdom, knowledge, power and magic in Norse mythology. That's apt about this 12-driver bone conduction, dynamic driver, balanced armature and electrostatic quad-brid. Raven serves Odin in Norse mythology – even being emblazoned with the "eye of Odin" symbol on its stainless steel faceplate – but in truth the TOTL Empire Ears now answers to no one but itself. Symbolically one of the most intelligent beings in the animal kingdom Raven proves that it's not about the parts that are used, but rather how they're used that counts. Raven is one brainiac bird whose articulation exceeds all else in Head-Fi. A raconteur, Raven is an expert at communicating everything in your music. Emotion, micro-detail, articulation, the silence between notes, cavernous space, immersion – all define its effortless presentation too, supported by a tuning tastefully propped up in the low-end for a way at doing justice with all genres of music. [See Product Desc. For More] Arguably the most novel bone conduction implementation ever, Empire Ears gift Raven one of Head-Fi's most futuristic transducers ever, alongside other tried and tested technologies for incredible results beyond 2023. Weapon X (W10) makes its appearance again here. After finding great success on its debut with Legend Evo, this Empire Ears bone conduction driver complements the air conduction of its supporting cast, giving you sound you can feel as much as you hear. W10 employs a Japanese-made pure copper voice coil optimised for accuracy in frequency and transient response, with extreme attention paid to its linearity, ultra low distortion and efficient heat dissipation. Empire Ears managed to harness even more of the awesome power of W10 in Raven with a Harmonic Resonance Core (HRC) built below its 316L stainless steel faceplate. The purpose-built HRC reverberates to W10's beat, culminating within an internal polymer basin that holds the plate. This arrangement, boosted by the metal plate, elevates the effect of bone conduction. W10's vibrations manifest tangibly, enriching the bass and treble with unprecedented depth, extension, and clarity, and thereby unifying the Raven's entire performance. It aids in the resonance, amplification, and dispersion of sound waves, synergising with other elements to achieve a distinctive sound signature and optimise Raven's acoustic performance. W10's earth-shaking performance indeed amplifies the performance of the premium dynamic driver, balanced armature and electrostatic components Empire Ears chose for Raven. With one bone conductor performing for so many drivers, the SPL demands on the other cast members was lessened – Raven's effortless presentation is empowered by the minimal distortion of drivers being over-taxed. Dual Weapon 9+ dynamic woofers for low-frequencies can stick to their assigned range without needing to overcompensate as they get propped up by W10. And Raven's balanced armatures and electostatics particularly benefit as the reduced need to produce SPL leads to less distortion and an edge-less body to their detail. Raven is a show of Empire Ears maturity and is possible also because of the state of maturity the Head-Fi ecosystem is at. DAC/amp and music player sources show up in abundance to drive Raven's very difficult 2ohm load. It starts as simply as Questyle Audio's M15i, with this flagship current-mode DAC/amp ever happier as a voltage source the more it detects a dead short. And the potent output devices of HiBy Music's Class A entry R6III and R6 Pro II are more than up to the task despite their budget status. And then there are the discrete DAC music players which output plenty of juice. Cayin's DSD N7 with its 5 ampere output devices, and HiBy's PWM R8II plus R2R RS8 with inductor power supplies and large, paralleled transistors, promise natural tone, gravitas, soundstage and imaging for audio fireworks. Because Raven is the party that brings all of Head-Fi together; and also every Empire Ears technology – synX crossovers, EIVEC II electrostats, ARC anti-resonance compound, tri-port exhaust vents – under one roof.

Sennheiser IE900

Sennheiser is synonymous with history and a tradition of excellence. Now, with IE900, the association's with new ideas and fresh inspiration. It's on Audiophile-Heaven's Hall of Fame. Demo with Cayin Audio's RU6, iBasso Audio's DX240 and Questyle Audio's QP2R as instant, synergistic, matches. This historic Head-Fi juggernaut stands poised to be a leading light for the next generation, producing the best kind of reference-tuned U-shape. IE900's treble sparkles and breathes, given foundation by a very pure sense of sub-bass authority, with a soundstage that escapes far beyond the confines of the shells. [See Product Desc. For More] Darko.Audio podcast · Sennheiser IE 900, IE 600 & IE 200: the what & the why Defined by its groundbreaking, original work on headphones, Sennheiser miniaturises its progress for a flagship IEM. There's nothing small about this flagship as a technical feat, though. Its baseline begins with a 7mm dynamic driver termed TrueResponse® XWB (Extra Wide Bandwidth). It's all about the ends of the earth, and the frequency extremes, that defines IE900's ambitions. It's remarkable how the legendary Sennheiser soundstage shows up and casts itself into the expanse, far beyond the confines of minute shells CNC-carved in Germany from a single block of aluminium. IE900's single driver does the work of many, with a pure and fast bass reminiscent of the kind produced by the best balanced armatures. XWB doesn't do it alone; it receives some help from a special Sennheiser back-shell cavity. Supplying enough air volume to produce low notes, IE900 balances the perfect amount of quantity and quality. Quality is the word that comes to mind perceiving this flagship's highs. Experience with helmholtz resonators in the HD800S allowed Sennhesier to target unwanted resonances and grain. Clean treble is the word, as detail in your music soars effortlessly up and into the ether. IE900 drew praise from Headfonia for living up to the expectations of a big release from a big company – it was named the publication's Best UIEM of 2021. With included 2.5mm and 4.4mm balanced cables, it's an IEM that both the audiophile and mainstream market can appreciate, justified by What Hi-Fi?'s 5 ⭐ award. It's Alpha Approved on Alpha Audio NET. StereoNET give IE900 an Applause Award for an "incredibly detailed, airy, lean, clinical music listening experience" – it made the same publication's Products of the Year shortlist 2021 later. This is performance you can achieve by browsing the music players that would give you glorious musical satisfaction together here. Begin with Cayin Audio's R2R RU6 and tube N3Pro, iBasso Audio's DX240 or Questyle Audio's QP2R, as instant, synergistic, matches.

Melodic Artification Alter Ego

Open-back with a switch, but neither are features just for the sake of it. Alter Ego is Melodic Artification's big announcement that they're hitting the flagship IEM market with a point. A point to their implementations. A point to exist. Twister6 quickly latched onto the hype. Switches like those on the tri-brid Alter Ego serve the listener, and not the spec sheet. Two different personalities present themselves in Melodic Artification's flagship when flicked. One presents music accurately and resolutely, transient information all reproduced. Alter Ego's other setting immediately – and obviously – boosts sub and mid-bass as well as lower mids to grant warm immersion and an emotive presentation. Across both signatures, listeners are planted into a mid-range with a sweet, perfectly black background. Spatial detail is abundant but always natural. Distortion is evidently low; artifacts never get in the way of your listening. [See Product Desc. For More] Both switch positions engage a different crossover in Alter Ego entirely and present music in equally full quality and its total glory. No resonances or trapped backwaves from Alter Ego's dynamic driver are given the chance to build up given its open-back construction. In fact, Alter Ego's switch is another showcase of Melodic Artifaction's calibre. It's not easy to reproduce two different signatures with such quality in a single IEM, with a single set of drivers. The quality of its dynamic driver cannot be questioned, when asked to reproduce extra SPL with the flick of a switch. Alter Ego's bass unit responds without distortion, suggesting a perfectly damped diaphragm that allows it to climb in frequency and produce more pistonic motion. Its seamless transition between personalities of equal quality also suggests a design excellence in aspects rarely discussed – crossover design. Indeed, roll-off slopes and order of crossover are calibrated such that drivers, particularly Alter Ego's mid-range balanced armatures, are never pushed out of their comfort zone. The seamless driver transitions between frequency ranges suggests low-order crossovers that preserve phase response. Yet when asked to produce more SPL, Alter Ego never falters, able to take whatever you ask from it in stride. It's a degree of sweat and effort from Melodic Artifaction's design team so that Alter Ego never breaks sweat, sounding completely effortless. Indeed, it's a degree of mastery only matched by the extent of going on to machine its titanium shell. Alter Ego benefits yet from experiments with eartips and cables. Its forgiving detail is always an advantage for listening with more exacting sources, and music players like HiBy Music's R4 plus R8II, iBasso Audio's D16 and DX260 as well as Cayin Audio's N7 make perfect steeds. Stay tuned to welcome one of 2024's most exciting flagship IEMs today, highlighting the sheer variety the earphone segment is counting on as the key to its success today.

Symphonium Crimson

So hot, it's Crimson hot. Symphonium Audio's latest flagship earphone is also their greatest, distilling everything they've learned from Meteor to Helios into one gem of performance and fit. How Symphonium could cram all that detail and performance into something as pint-sized as Crimson is a wonder to behold. After all, parts are inexpensive, whereas labour, innovation, original R&D, resourcefulness in making the most of what's available, love and passion for engineering, aren't. By optimising the acoustic architecture around 4 balanced armature drivers – tweaking crossovers, bore lengths, and chassis layout – Crimson emerges as the Symphonium of our dreams. [See Product Desc. For More] Indeed, its flat mid-range to treble transition comes courtesy of greater pinna gain, exhibiting a frequency response you can trust, incredible detail, and hyper-realistic live dynamics. Best of all, Crimson's fit is a dream come true. As a successor, and immediate upgrade, to Helios, Crimson answers all of its predecessor's critics. A flat frequency response transition from 1Khz up to 4Khz enhances the perception of more accurate, present mids. Despite Symphonium's increased pinna compensation and the eschewing of a more diffuse, distant soundstage, Crimson suffers no shortage of spatial technicalities. It renders images with solid, tangible outlines on a vast and black background. It's amazing how so much soundstage was crammed into such a small shell – the other improvement Symphonium are likely to be greeted with much cheer for. With a critical re-arrangement of components within Crimson's cavity not only for sonic gains through Phase Harmony Attenuation Technology (PHAT), but also wearability, the best-fitting Symphonium yet can be worn by virtually all ears. What's left is pure performance distilled from miniature high-grade T6 heat-treated AL6061 aluminium alloy shells, housing Symphonium's trademark flat impedance technology that ensures Crimson's performance remains consistent with inconsistent voltage sources. Still, it bears to juice the low impedances of Crimson well for best performance. To that end, Questyle Audio's CMA18P DAC/amp is a mainstay, while HiBy Music's partnership with Symphonium has been explored at length with any of the latter's discrete output stage music players.

HOW TO PICK GOOD EARPHONES AND EARBUDS IN SINGAPORE?

Earphones are one of the most important everyday gadgets or accessories that can directly impact your music-listening experience, as well as your quality of life. Having a suboptimal pair of earphones while on your daily commute, such as earphones that do not seal properly, have distortions, or poor noise reduction capabilities will make your commute in the morning less pleasant due to the noise on Singapore’s public transport. A lesser known fact is that using suboptimal earphones often leads to volume being cranked up in order to “hear” or “get immersed into” the music better. However, what it does is simply damaging the stereocilia in the ears, providing permanent hearing loss to some frequencies, which is irreversible.

What about trying to recreate the immersive experience of a concert hall, stadium or an intimate studio? These earphones exist and can even be customised to fit your ears perfectly.

At Zeppelin & Co., we understand that when you are looking for a new pair of earphones in Singapore, you want to be sure of getting the best quality. Which is why we go through great lengths visiting manufacturers all over the world, ensuring that we curate the highest-quality earphones from leading brands in the industry, so you can be rest assured that your purchase is a sound investment. We have earphones for all preferences, from in-ear models to over-the-ear headphones, as well as Bluetooth earphones for those who prefer the freedom of movement that this type of wireless technology provides. They are crafted and manufactured in various places, such as Korea, Japan, Poland, the USA, and many more.

Furthermore, when deciding on which earphones to buy, it's essential to think about what you will be using them for and how they fit.

WHAT WILL YOU BE USING THEM FOR?

Do you enjoy a run, working out in a gym, or other exercise activities? When choosing earphones, one of the first questions to ask is in what scenario will you be using them. Making a choice that suits your lifestyle is crucial to getting the right type of earphone. Working out with earphones would mean they have to be secure enough, so they don’t fall off while you are on your run. If you mostly use your earphones while commuting around Singapore, your options expand significantly from wired, noise-cancelling earphones to Bluetooth earphones, allowing you to immerse in your music, and completely shut away from the hustle and bustle on the bus or train.

CUSTOMISED OR UNIVERSAL FIT EARPHONES?

Custom fit earphones mean they are built to your ears based on a mould and will not fit anyone else. Musicians on stage usually have a custom fit to block out the other sounds distracting their performance. Universal fit is the one you see in stores all over Singapore and beyond. You can share universal fit with anyone, and these are the earphones we usually know of. Choose a customised fit for stage use, or if you have problems fitting the universal one. You can also choose to customise them just for the looks. Submit your own design, or pick from the brand’s lookbook.

Get in touch with us today or visit our audio store and pick a good pair of earphones for yourself, where our friendly and knowledgeable crew will help open a whole new world of portable audio for you.
