Ikko OH1S are the newest release by the same makers of OH10 – one of the just two $200-IEMs stuck onto Audioreview’s Wall of Excellence, and my personal absolute preferred V-shaped IEM south of 3 times its price. This new OH1S model is presented as an evolution of its previous siblings in terms of technology,…

Tanchjim Darling – A Rightful Upgrade
Today we talk about Tanchjim Darling, Tanchjim’s recently released flagship model which I auditioned with a lot of curiousity considering my appreciation for their direct predecessors Oxygen. Tested at $420. At-a-glance Card PROs CONs Natural acoustic timbre. Not an all rounder – recommended for acoustic genres. Neutral-bright tonality. Competent source required. Great imaging and separation….
Tanchjim Oxygen – Just like a glove
Took me a while after first auditioning them, but after some time I came accross a good deal and I acquired my own pair of Tanchjim Oxygen. And nothing… their sound fits my preferences just like a glove. At-a-glance Card PROs CONs Clean acoustic timbre and very appealing neutral-bright tonality. Acoustic-sided presentation, not the best…
BLON BL01 – Give Me A Good Source And I’ll Shine
BL01 offers is by and large phenomenal sound quality for its price. Its main down sides are a hit/miss fit, and the need for a high quality source.
TRN T300 – TWS with a nice tone
TRN T300 is a very nice pair of TWS earbuds. Their sonic performance is very good. On the flip side they are not the best for calls.
BLON BL05S – Very nice
Their superb technicalities and a very good treble section make BLON BL05S a definite rec. Be ready to upgrade cable and tips though.
Kbear BELIEVE – Pretentious
Creating a lot of expectations on a new product is a dual-edged blade, we all know that. The second edge cuts sharply this time. Kbear Believe are not bad at all, just not up to the hype that was pumped about them.
final A3000 – Another Great Quality Lesson
A3000 is a superb natural-clear proposition in the market of classical / jazz / unplugged specialized drivers. Final is once again showing off their embarassing mastery in delivering stunning quality at budget prices.
Ikko OH10: Masterfully Jazzy
All my priorities for cool jazz are covered: significant bilateral extention; elevated, fast, textured, detailed bass; airy, sparkly trebles. Ikko OH10 ticks all the boxes, and does it masterfully too.
Hisenior T2U
Hisenior specialises in professional and custom IEMs, and as such it’s quite off my “usual” investigation paths. That’s why I came accross an entry-level Universal fit model of theirs only thanks to a direct friend’s input. Invited by a (publicly available) 50% off its nominal MRSP I took the odds of a blind buy and…
