Beautiful and expensive: 7Hz Aurora hybrid headphones review


✔ Beautiful and expensive: 7Hz Aurora hybrid headphones review
🔥 7Hz Aurora on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sct4h1sxqurnv4u?erid=2SDnje7Kf2Z

The only hybrid combination in the relatively high end of the headphone segment that you and I have yet to experience is a bundle of a really big speaker, a planar driver, and some balanced armatures. But that's exactly the experience we're actually offered by the new 7Hz Aurora, which we'll of course compare to the ThieAudio Hype 4, Tangzu Nezha and I\O Audio Volare. As always, great headphones, but with their own subtleties and nuances.

Speed and Balance: Tangzu Xuan Nv dynamic Headphone Review


✔ Speed and Balance: Tangzu Xuan Nv dynamic Headphone Review
🔥 Tangzu Xuan Nv on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1scpah5qvwuu0n6u?erid=2SDnjeE8Kih

In addition to the relatively expensive headphones we've been talking about over the past month, there are some pretty good budget solutions in the world of audio. Among them I would like to mention Tangzu Xuan Nv, designed in the style of ordinary butterflies. They are based on two drivers, where both are speakers, have fully transparent hypoallergenic housings and, in my opinion, almost the best ear cushions on the market. A curious model, and quite cheap as well.

And lastly, in this price segment I left the magnificent hybrid headphones I\O Audio Volare, inside which works a speaker, 4 armature radiators and, attention, as many as 4 electrostatic drivers. All of them are connected to the crossover, densely packed inside, and on the side of the sound guide are equipped with two replaceable acoustic filters. Both the headphones and the packaging look stunning, and the number of included ear cushions is amazing. Great headphones, and we'll talk about them today.

🔥 ThieAudio Hype 4 on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sci25zpmm64u4kv?erid=2SDnjbtPkAD

ThieAudio Hype 2 headphones, as I actually predicted, managed to become almost a benchmark of good sound in its segment. It was logical to move on and here I have in my hands the next step of quality - Hype 4, based on two isobarically arranged 10 mm drivers and four armature drivers from Sonion company, two for each band. What can I say, a new height has naturally been reached, and I'll tell you more about it in this review.

🔥 Akliam PD5 on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sc3eoiauorfi36y?erid=2SDnjcPfexh

Speaking about the directions of budget sound, I mentioned in passing that really high-quality solutions combine both technicality and beautiful melody. Well, as an example I named the hero of our today's review - Akliam PD5, which, indeed, can be attributed to the segment of good adult sound for a moderate price. However, you wouldn't expect anything else from AK4493SEQ, especially since two Ricores are responsible for the amplification part, and USB is powered by the same ComTrue. This is an excellent DAC, so let's talk about it separately.

As many of you guess, the budget segment of DACs, no matter mobile or stationary, is conventionally divided into two equal parts: musical and technical. The musical one is KiwiEars Allegro, and the technical one is the new FosiAudio DS2 on two Cirrus Logic converters. Of course, they have different power, design and consumption, but otherwise they are very similar. In general, on the example of these two such different and at the same time absolutely identical devices I propose to understand the issue of sound directivity.

Well, since we've covered Golden Ages in detail, it's worth talking about their younger version: Moondrop Space Travel. Unfortunately, there is no noise reduction, there is not a planar but a 13 mm speaker inside, slightly less codecs and battery life, but in principle everything is the same: VDSF tuning, application support and exactly 55 ms as signal delay.

Today I want to talk about possibly a new hit from Moondrop: wireless TWS headphones based not on a speaker or even a hybrid bundle, but on a large magneto-planar radiator. At the same time, the novelty supports LDAC and LC3 codecs, has active noise reduction, VDSF tuning, huge volume reserve, low latency and up to 6 hours of work on a single charge. It's called Golden Ages: 1979.

I know you just love and have been waiting for quite some time now for a review of the KZ Symphony hybrid planar headphones, where a small speaker is responsible for the bass and a gorgeous in-house-made planar driver is responsible for everything else. Yes, I'm not saying this without sarcasm, but let's get to the bottom of it.

🔥 EPZ 520 on AliExpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1sbob5bh3va5s27r?erid=2SDnjeXwpNu

Well another plus or minus $200 headphones that I feel I need to talk about are, not to say that they're very well known, although they're not particularly new, the EPZ 520. They are built on 5 armature drivers, have a fully transparent housing and a unique tuning of the AFC. The most controversial model, in my opinion, but some may still like it.

By tradition, today we are probably among the first to get acquainted with a new product from LetShuoer - the Cadenza 4 model. Yes, the one with dynamic bass and three armature drivers from Sonion and Knowles, responsible for the mids and highs. The headphones were tuned, to put it bluntly, at the level of flagship solutions from famous brands, added weight, volume and depth to the sound, achieved decent homogeneity and naturalness, and, of course, did not do without noble analog coloration and integral such a macro-oriented character. What to say, they have again turned out just super curious model.

Only Dunu specialists could make a single 10.7 mm driver so cool. And as always they have just the richest set, a system of interchangeable filters, just a scattering of various affecting the AFC attachments and a juicy, very emotional and at the same time completely monitor sound.

Where the bass is handled by two isobarically placed 10mm drivers, and the mids and highs are handled by three signature armature drivers from Sonion and Knowles.

To be honest, I wasn't familiar with IntuAura headphones and their View lineup before, but after claims that the driver was selected by the same person who does it for Sennheiser and Bang & Olufsen, and the proprietary resonator has already proven itself in other models of the brand - I got curious, so to speak. Yes, these are classic dynamic headphones on a 10 mm driver, but they are located in the segment of about 200 dollars, with all the consequences that follow. Today we are talking about IntuAura Luster.

I've mentioned the Simgot EA500 LM model, specifically the LM version, in probably more than a dozen different reviews. Western audiophiles say that this is probably the best implementation of a dynamic driver in its segment. And you know what, I completely agree with them. EA500 LM is an absolute leader among headphones under 100 dollars. What's more, I'm sure they can easily compete with many solutions under 200 and even a couple of 400. So this is exactly the case when they say: the absolute TOP for your money.

After the review of the ColorFly CDA-M2 DAC came out, it became my every day device, so to speak. That's why I didn't expect to come across its almost full analog from a completely different, much less known manufacturer. Moreover, it was twice as cheap. Inside EPZ TP50 there are two CS43198 flagship converters, two Ricore RT6863s are responsible for the amplifying part, and for USB, only the chip from ComTrue company, which I mentioned in a positive way. That is, the hardware here is of the highest level, as far as it is possible in such a form-factor. And how not to mention the presence of a screen, two gain levels, SPDIF on the 3.5 m jack, click suppression function and the audiophile NOS filter. It's just an amazing device, and we'll talk about it today.

🔥 Aful SnowyNight on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s7pz8alt7cx3hx2?erid=2SDnjcZmq7e

Another DAC that I just have to tell you about is a solution from Aful called SnowyNight. And yes, it is far from being the most musical solution, but technically it breaks all records, so to speak. For starters, the model supports PCM not up to 384, but up to 768 kHz, has two levels of gain, support for game consoles, aka UAC 1.0, it has USB on a chip from ComTrue, and as a converter there are two flagship CS43198, well, and the output power here is up to 300 mW at 32 ohm load. So this is a kind of analog of the well-known E1DA 9038D6K from Ivan Khlyupin. It is a good device, but like D6K, let's say, peculiar. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Probably all bloggers connected with the subject have already told about EPZ DACs. Their devices really turned out to be excellent. However, the manufacturer decided not to rest on its laurels, but to take up the continuation of such a promising series. So the TP20 Pro model was born, where the output impedance was finally corrected and the sound was significantly improved. Which is now really a whole head above what we had in TP20 and even in TP30. It is this solution that we are going to talk about today.

They became famous first of all for the fact that when the whole industry massively switched to all sorts of V-shaped targeting curves, they persistently and methodically drew almost perfectly flat AFC. Since then, of course, a lot of water has passed, but that's why it's interesting to see what they do today. Especially in such a low segment.

It is interesting first of all for its full-range planar driver, to which they added a 10mm bone conduction driver for bass richness, and one custom balanced armature for extension and refinement at the top. All this was put into some absolutely amazing case, and the set was completed with the same quality copper cable of 48 silver-plated cores.

However, today we will talk about not quite an ordinary model: on the one hand, May is a classic wired headphones with an interchangeable cable, but on the other hand - the cable that we put in the kit has not analog, but digital Type C jack. That is, it already has a DAC and, according to the manufacturer's assurance, a rather flexible DSP-module built into it. And consequently, we are not limited at all in terms of tuning the AFC, nor in the ways of connecting them to various external devices. And I'm not even talking about the hybrid scheme of drivers made of a sapphire-covered 10 mm driver and a full-fledged 6 mm planar. Interesting? - I'm sure it is!

The price tag, however, at the start they were not small, but it is understandable, inside there are two 8 mm drivers and as many as 4 balanced drivers 31736, and all this is competently docked in the crossover and brought in a kind of physical equalizer, which can slightly raise the bass or middle. But the most excitement on these headphones began only now, when the price tag fell almost in half. For plus or minus 30 dollars - it is, of course, an absolute hit.

Earlier they made headphones for all sorts of more or less large Chinese brands - today they decided to become an independent unit. And the name, as the official website of the company assures, is just an abbreviation of their core values. Now I propose to get acquainted with their most basic solution - Ziigaat Nuo. This is a classic dynamic model with a 10 mm driver with LCP diaphragm and very high sensitivity.

✔ Youngest in the lineup: iKKO OH300 dynamic headphones review
🔥 Buy iKKO OH300: https://bit.ly/49080bi

The iKKO OH300 budget headphones are already full of all sorts of rumors, including quite contradictory ones. In a nutshell, it is a classic dynamic model with a clever tuning system, faceplates, almost like the older version, and its trademark, almost unlike anything else, approach to sound.

Wyvern Pro headphones from Kinera's subsidiary company, I was personally attracted to them, of course, by their price and detachable microphone design. Well, and the very name "Wyvern", of course, arouses some interest. In general, today we will deal with the ultra-budget novelty from Celest brand.

Tronsmart T7 Lite review: small speaker for home or office


✔ Tronsmart T7 Lite review: small speaker for home or office
🔥 Tronsmart T7 Lite on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3vA8MgO

In addition to large and powerful speakers, Tronsmart has come out with a couple more straightforwardly ultra-compact solutions. The same T7 Lite, which, in fact, we are going to get acquainted with today, easily fits into the side pocket of my fall jacket and absolutely any city bag. In terms of weight too, something about half a kilogram. But the sound here for a total of 24 watts, solid protection against water, up to 24 hours of autonomous work, again, light-music and a slot for MicroSD memory cards.

🔥 Little Bear B4-X on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3HhzWvl

The hero of our today's review is the Little Bear B4-X dual-mono (i.e. balanced) tube amplifier. The pros are of course the tube with its warm, rich and just super emotional sound, but the cons - that's what we have to deal with today.

Colorfly CDA-M2 review: the very same mobile DAC with SPDIF support


✔ Colorfly CDA-M2 review: the very same mobile DAC with SPDIF support
🔥 Colorfly CDA-M2 on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/47ppMDy

Literally right after the unambiguously hit M1P, I would like to tell about the company's senior novelty - Colorfly CDA-M2. This DAC is based on two flagship Cirrus Logic CS43198 chips, has an OLED display, impressive output power, two gain positions, the very same JitterKill, two outputs and, what is not obvious at all, digital SPDIF on a 3.5mm jack. Externally it looks very similar to the already familiar Shanling UA4, but the device was prepared in a completely different way.

Colorfly CDA-M1P review: another diamond among mobile DACs


✔ Colorfly CDA-M1P review: another diamond among mobile DACs
🔥 Colorfly CDA-M1P on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3HawnHb

I've been familiar with Colorfly brand products for a long time and it's always been just a super respected company among audiophiles. They literally revolutionized the world with their C4 player. Today their fame has faded, but their experience has remained, and on the wave of fresh current, we were presented with two new mobile DACs: CDA-M1P and CDA-M2. Today I propose to review only the first version, especially since it is built not on the banal Cirrus Logic, which are already legion, but on the good old Asahi Kasei. There is enough power, DSD512 support, gain switching and two outputs with some very tricky JitterKill technology, which, by the way, came to us from the company's flagship devices.

TempoTec Sonata BHD DAC review: solid quality for a reasonable price


✔ TempoTec Sonata BHD DAC review: solid quality for a reasonable price
🔥 TempoTec Sonata BHD on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3TP15x1

After the release of its flagship DAC, TempoTec, apparently, decided not to rest on their laurels and, having simplified it a bit, presented a reimagined version of the very, classic Sonata BHD. And in order not to confuse all of us, they made a special comparison table. In general, the BHD is almost like the older solution, except that there is one oscillator here versus three in the Pro-version, and for some reason they cut off MQA support, if anyone is still interested in it. Otherwise, it's no less fat and rich: two Cirrus Logic CS43131 chips, output power up to 280 mW at 32 ohm load, a separate button for switching gain and two outputs: a 4.4 mm pentacon and a classic 3.5 mm jack.
