BQEYZ Winter DD+BC is reviewed

We reviewed BQEYZ Winter through as possible. Truly superior than others in the same brand, Moondrop Kato too. The real test will be in its comparison to Variations and QDC Dmagic Solo. Read poor man’s UM Mest mk2 since it has bone conduction too with X4 or X5 price tag.

Pros__

Power and dominance

Technicality

Bass and mids. Treble is high in resolution

Plenty eartips and accessories

Cons_

Can be hard to drive

Fit isn’t for everybody

Desire for more as the stock form is already very good

Not brilliant in smooth jazz

Dunu Kima Review (C. Love’s impressions) ($109)


I enjoy this latest single DD from DUNU. The Kima have a good and all-around sound with a decently powered bass region that is more tight than it isn’t, a wonderful midrange for great vocals and a non-offensive and pretty energetic treble. I began this review period much less impressed than I ended up becoming. Truthfully the Kima are worth the asking price and depending on your musical tastes or sound signature preferences I think the Kima can win over many fans. Dunu doesn’t make many mistakes as every iem that they released are well thought out and finished products, the Kima is certainly no different. This review is my impressions of the Kima as they were already reviewed at the website by Mahir Efe Falay. I like them people. A well tuned iem which performs pretty well amongst a sea of well performing iems in its price point. Please stop by the website by following the link below for the full review if the Kima is possibly something you are interested in. I thank you for doing so, please take care and stay safe.

Kima Pros

-Packaging/Accessories
-Build Quality
-Design
-Great stock cable
-Sound is pretty balanced
-Natural Timbre
-Technicalities are nice
-Layering/Separation are great
-Clean sounding
-Tight and mature bass
-Vocals & clean midrange
-Sibilance free

Kima Cons

-Fit may not be for everyone
-Low end may lack for some
-Some tracks can sound boring/flat
-Soundstage only average
-Some complicated tracks can confuse the Kima…sometimes
-Can be a bit Hot in upper-mid / lower treble on certain songs “

The OG Letshuoer s12 gathered a lot of interest and those were valid, however the brand needed a pro update and we got it to check the comparison in Letshuoer s12 vs s12pro. Next in line is another budget gem’s first impressions. Letshuoer s12 vs s12pro - Mobileaudiophile

Kinera Urd is on our bench after a generous loaner from one of our followers. First of all; do not lay your head down on a pillow when wearing Urd…Just saying :slightly_smiling_face:
Second, prepare your cable like Dunu Amber or any cable which ignites its tri engine
Third, enlarge your concha while it is on your way, if it already isn’t so. I know it can create some issues but if you follow 2nd, 3rd is mandatory.

Kinera is a seasoned company with lots of IEMs targeted at higher segments. However, they have not botched their sub 200 releases since their first days of releasing premium IEMs. Kinera Urd’s looks are intimidating, but looks are only looks, and they resemble the sound too. Let’s hear Kinera Urd’s sound through Mahir’s words.

Pros_

Organic, Neutral

Smooth

ER character

Cons_

Lack slam

Lack instrument separation in certain recordings

Size

OG cable is dragging it down

Truthear Hexa is reviewed by Chris’s take. Have fun reading his very through review with many comparisons.
“To conclude my review of the Truthear Hexa, I have turned into a big fan of this set. I went from “Hexa is pretty good” to “Best hybrid under $100…hands down”. The price that Truthear is asking is almost silly for what you actually receive, and I’m not speaking about accessories. The tuning effort here is fantastic for a set that really isn’t too far out of reach for almost anyone. Yes $79 can be a lot of money for many but I honestly think the Hexa jumps price points in overall auditory ability. They sound damn good! The Truthear Hexa is a great buy. Oh, make sure to burn them in, and… yes burn-in is real. “
