The MagicOne intrigues the hell out of me with its single BA design. Plus it’s a gorgeous IEM.

You can get the Aful MagivOne for 104.99$ shipped at HiFiGo right now.

109$ + the 5$ coupon they have atm.

IMHO thats the price it should have started at and it would have killed even more.

It is a smaller iem but for my love of deep insertion its custom like form is super confortable. Love to just look at them. The cable is soft and does not keep kinks.

After seeing it graphs similar to the Softears Twilight it makes me even more interested in the twilight.

Oh it absolutely is NOT Twilight-like at all, regardless of the graph.

But the MagicOne does sound pretty freaking nice. It’s a very likable BA implementation

That does look slick no? Jeez - if only the Ziigaat had a little more treble extension, it would be perfect

Please excuse my ignorance, have you gotten a chance to listen to the Twiight or posibky even better own it? @GooberBM

My current in ear collection consists of an OG EJ07 and an Aful MagivOne paired to a Mojo 2.

I found my prefered sound when i started the journey years back in headphones. Natural nuetral / nuetral warm with a bass boost. Favorite headphones ZMF VC, LCD 2 Shedua. Sucker for 3D soundstage and textured rumbling bass. Mids female singer junky as well.(Sold my headphone stuff on eBay a few years back)

The EJ07 are my current referance. The Aful with the Letshuoer DT01 is my on the go light setup.

Im looking for two more iems to complete the set. Something nice thick and bassy and something super detailed.

Twilight hits a few of my wants. Single DD, tactility, glided bass boost with enough treble.

Detail monster TBA ive been lusting for some sparkle.

I listen to everything.

I’ve heard both Twilight and MagicOne (not at the same time).

While their graphs are the same, Twilight has vents in it that vent air pressure out into your ear. The bass plays differently than any IEM without a more dedicated venting system. It also has better extension on both ends, because of the limitations of what 1BA can produce. MagicOne plays more midcentric than Twilight

The venting and tactility are what had me sold on it. You kind of answered it a little for me already but if you recall where do the vocals play in the mix on the twilight?

How could I not be addicted to those twinklies and sparklies, as TonyTex puts it lol It just opens up the entire experience to be both weightless when it needs to be and thick when it needs to be (If there’s proper bass response of course). If it’s just all air and sparkles, I can skip.

But just looking at the graphs, real listening impressions still pending, I like the bass and the lower pinna on the Ziigaat fo sho. And like others have pointed out, “real” isobaric DD set? Man, if that’s a legit thing going on I am hyped for what Ziigaat has coming in the future.
