Kiwi Ears Forteza review: hybrid headphones with built-in woofer


✔ Kiwi Ears Forteza review: hybrid headphones with built-in woofer
🔥 Kiwi Ears Forteza on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s84u6ud7jhkn3jo?erid=2SDnjcaF3W8

I have been personally familiar with Kiwi Ears solutions for a long time and deeply respect their bold and quite rational approach. Today I propose to review another of their, in my opinion, a little crazy experiments - Kiwi Ears Forteza headphones. They are inexpensive, and consist of two drivers, where one is dedicated exclusively to the woofer function, and one balanced armature. As usual, let's give them a sober assessment, and also be sure to compare them with other equally interesting models.

Perfect tuning: a review of Ziigaat Nuo dynamic headphones


✔ Perfect tuning: a review of Ziigaat Nuo dynamic headphones
🔥 Buy Ziigaat Nuo: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s813ckkxebm58oi?erid=2SDnjcWrDE8

It may be a revelation to some of you, but not all brands have their own production. So most headphones are produced by unknown OEM factories, and then they just glue logos on them and pack them in various beautiful boxes. So, Ziigaat is one of them. 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.

🔥 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2 on Aliexpress: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s7vmw8lj1iqhko2?erid=2SDnjetzWSC

Widely known in his circles English-speaking blogger Crinacle for a year now pleases us with participation in the creation of all sorts of ultra-budget headphones. The good old Zero speaker was chosen as a base, and the collaboration itself took place with the also quite successful brand - 7Herz. The setup, as always, turned out great, the sound and materials - for their money, and I'll tell you more about all this in this review.

Kings of their segment: Tiandirenhe TD19 dynamic headphones review


✔ Kings of their segment: Tiandirenhe TD19 dynamic headphones review
🔥 Buy Tiandirenhe TD19: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s7o5o1rszwuxtdj?erid=2SDnjdENs76

The Tiandirenhe company is remembered by many for their rather high-quality in-canal headphones with a focus on big and powerful bass. Since then, of course, they have changed their concept and make a classic already balanced setup, but the experience has remained and the sense of style, in my opinion, has only grown. Anyway, today we have another kings of their segment for review - Tiandirenhe at number 19.

Best available: Hidizs MS1 Galaxy dynamic headphones review


✔ Best available: Hidizs MS1 Galaxy dynamic headphones review
🔥 Buy Hidizs MS1 Galaxy: https://aliclick.shop/r/c/1s7o5o1rszwuxtdj?erid=2SDnjdENs76

Hidizs company, if anyone doesn't know, is a pretty solid manufacturer of audio equipment and to meet headphones from them for 16 dollars was for me personally a huge surprise. Admittedly, I didn't expect anything from them and, as it turned out, very in vain: the MS1 Galaxy model is quite capable to compete even with some solutions for 60 dollars. In fact, today we are going to talk about them.

🔥 KbEar KB01 on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3u3coYb

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

✔ Weighty and inexpensive: Celest Wyvern Pro dynamic headphones review
🔥 Celest Wyvern Pro on Aliexpress: https://bit.ly/3U3Gcyz

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.

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.
