  • Punch Audio Martilo – A Basshead I Can Listen to All Day

    Punch Audio Martilo – A Basshead I Can Listen to All Day

    I was excited when Linsoul reached out to see if I would be interested in trying out the Martilo. While I don’t always want a basshead set, I do have the Scarlet Mini, which gets brought out quite often when I want that sound—but it can be a bit much sometimes. What did Punch Audio…

  • Étude – Kiwi Ears Gets Physical

    Étude – Kiwi Ears Gets Physical

    Kiwi Ears have had a raft of releases recently, the latest one I have here is their Étude, which has a Beryllium DD + 3BA + Vibration Transducer. I’ve tried some bone conductor IEM’s in the past so have a decent idea what to expect, the biggest difference here is the price. The Étude comes…

  • Wood You Believe It? Twistura’s DD Stands Tall

    Wood You Believe It? Twistura’s DD Stands Tall

    When I was asked if I’d like to review this one, I jumped at the opportunity. I love single DD’s and the cohesive sound they bring so couldn’t wait to try this one out. The Twistura WoodNote uses a wood diaphragm (10mm), in a dual chamber config. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a wood…

    JUZEAR x Z Reviews Defiant – Groove Mode: Engaged

    The Defiant comes in cheaper than my usual price point, however for its inclusions and sound you’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s more expensive than it is. Let’s get into it! Build & Accessories:The Defiant arrived in a really nice box. The packaging includes the IEMs (surprise), a modular cable with both 3.5mm and…

    250 sets in… and the Kiwi Ears Septet still surprised and delighted me

    What an intriguing set! I’ve had open TWS before, but I don’t think I’ve had an open IEM, at least nothing memorable. In my headphone stable I have many, many open sets so was looking forward to how this would translate, and if some of the upsides (and downsides) of open sets would come with…

  • Another day, another IEM

    Another day, another IEM

    The AüR Audio Neon Pro arrived yesterday, looking very nice here with the Effect Audio Eros S 1st anniversary edition cable: Initial impressions are great! They have a bass switch, which increases (or decreases depending on how you look at it) the bass by 3db. I’ve tried them in both, think I prefer off, but…
