Joyodio is a company with no information. However, their debut Shine appears to have all of the tuning switches and a dark, yet shiny, textured backplate. Hundreds of tuning options add great versatility. But one thing is certain, it leans toward organic music. Thanks to Linsoul for providing the Shine for review purposes.
Simgot doing it right with EA500. @ToneDeafMonk ’s review showed it, as well as my intuition too. Let’s look down on how they did before being spoken around.
Fosi Audio K5 Pro is reviewed at MBA with Fahri’s perspective. It’s a Dac Amp without exceptional features, but it’s sufficient for starters. "We are still far from a DAC/Amp that would rule them all but Fosi Audio came a little closer. " I would like to thank Fosi Audio for the sample.
Pros
Decent power output
Great tuning for competitive gaming
Low noise floor
Great Value
Fun and useful tone controls
Good ADC
Cons
Limited to 24 bit / 96 kHz
Not linear
Internal DAC is not very resolving
Lack of microphone gain control
No spatial audio solution is included
Before the EA500 arrived, MBA reviewed the Simgot EM2R. It reminds me of its x3 priced counterpart DT600, and this one deserves a gold metal for achieving it at a third of the price.
Agreed - I’m using the deep mount clears on mine, they tone down the micro details and forwardness of the upper mids a little but the fit is absolutely phenomenal. A easy compromise I’m willing to make no doubt.
I get it, because it’s how many people who buy an IEM will listen to an IEM in stock form, but by that same token, most people reading IEM reviews online aren’t using stock anything.
It’s such a weird line to have to toe, and there’s no wrong answer.
Yeah, this is very not me I prefer to take everything in OG form and not modify to hear & reflect what it actually sounds like. Whether just first impressions or a complete review, it’s all the same in my perspective.
100% respect than and it’s great we all do a different angle love it actually.
And probably a good thing if we think about it not everyone has money to buy a $30!ear tip or $20 cable of $800 DAP.
Absolutely fair. Sometimes, the most detailed IEM or headphone is not the right one. Things like Estat overear cans have the most amount of detail I’ve ever been able to experience in my life, but the timbre is so strange I know I wouldn’t ever be interested in one unless I go with one of those Uber expensive Stax sets.
I also personally go with aftermarket tips always, but I understand from a reviewers point of view why you’d want to use the stock tips, to get a better understanding of the entire package.
**Exactly. You can’t know how a dessert with a fruit on top tastes without consuming it all together in its OG form. Sprinkle some more sugar on it, and it will have a dull taste without any contrasts. Or subtract some and have a bland lump of whatever.
