Any impressions for us. Would love to know your take on the iem.
Oh yes!! Will be listening to them for an extended period today. Will share my impressions in few hours
My impressions of Oriveti Dynabird:
I found its V-shaped sound signature to be engaging and fun, particularly with its deep and controlled sub-bass that offers a visceral rumble without overwhelming the overall sound. The quantity of sub-bass can be 1-2db more. The mid-bass is tight and punchy, maintaining good speed and clarity. The midrange is slightly recessed, with male vocals lacking some warmth while female vocals are forward and energetic, though instruments can occasionally sound metallic around the 6-7kHz peak, leading to a hint of sibilance. The treble is airy and open but features a notable peak that might be fatiguing for some listeners, causing cymbals to sound splashy at times. Despite this, the detail retrieval is solid. The soundstage is spacious with decent width and height, though the imaging could be sharper. The build quality is impressive, with CNC-milled aluminum shells providing durability and a premium feel, although the fit can be uncomfortable after extended use due to sharp edges. The included cable is good but not exceptional compared to other offerings in the same price range. Overall, the Dynabird is a strong contender for those who enjoy a V-shaped tuning with strong bass and open treble, though it may not be ideal for those sensitive to treble peaks or seeking the most natural midrange presentation.
Have you tried tip rolling?
Does it have more midbass than subbass?
short and sweet. It would be good if you can include the source information as well
I used it with Dita Navigator/RME ADI 2 Pro/D16/Qudelix T-71.

Introduction
Oriveti is a well-regarded brand in the community, known for producing high-quality IEMs with thoughtful designs and excellent sound. Previous releases like the OD200 and the OH700VB have set high standards, making Oriveti a go-to for folks seeking reliable and impressive audio performance.
Design of the IEM and Cable
The Oriveti Dynabird boasts a sleek and compact design, featuring a CNC-machined aluminum shell with a gunmetal finish. It offers a minimalist aesthetic that many will appreciate. The nozzle is slightly larger than average, which might affect fit for some users. The cable is a supple, black two-pin connector that feels decent and durable. Overall, the design and build quality are excellent for the price.
Fit and Comfort of the IEM
Fit and comfort are crucial for any IEM, and the Dynabird presents a mixed experience. Its small, bullet-style design allows for an easy fit, but the larger nozzle and slightly rough edges can dig into the ears for some (which was the case for me), potentially causing discomfort during extended listening sessions. However, those who find a good fit will enjoy a relatively secure and pressure-free experience.
Sound
Sub Bass
The sub-bass on the Dynabird is well-extended and provides a satisfying rumble without overwhelming the overall sound signature. It’s deep and authoritative, making it a good choice for genres that benefit from a robust low-end presence.
Mid Bass
Mid-bass is punchy and energetic, delivering a solid slam that adds excitement to tracks. It avoids bleeding into the mids, maintaining clarity and definition. Fans of impactful bass will find the Dynabird’s mid-bass performance appealing.
Mid Range
The midrange is clean and forward, with a slight emphasis that brings vocals and instruments to the forefront. This tuning choice adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy to the listening experience. However, it can sometimes border on shouty, particularly in the upper mids.
Treble
Treble is detailed and extends well, providing ample sparkle and air. The presence of a peak around 5-6kHz adds brightness but can also introduce some harshness, especially at higher volumes. Listeners sensitive to treble peaks might need to adjust their listening habits accordingly.
Tone and Timbre
The tone and timbre of the Dynabird are generally natural, though the emphasis in the upper mids and treble can make some instruments and vocals sound slightly artificial. Despite this, the overall tonality is pleasing and engaging for a wide range of music genres.
Staging, Instrument Separation, and Layering
The soundstage is moderately wide, offering a decent sense of space without feeling too expansive. Instrument separation and layering are impressive, allowing individual elements within a track to be easily discernible. This makes the Dynabird suitable for complex compositions and critical listening.
Detail Retrieval
Detail retrieval is one of the Dynabird’s strong suits, capturing fine nuances and subtle elements in recordings. This characteristic enhances the overall listening experience, particularly for those who appreciate the intricacies of their favorite tracks.
Technicalities
The Dynabird excels in technical performance, with its well-controlled bass, articulate mids, and extended treble. Its dual-chamber dynamic driver design contributes to its dynamic and resolving sound, making it a versatile option for various music styles.
Conclusion
The Oriveti Dynabird is a compelling IEM under $100. While its design might not be perfect for everyone in terms of fit and comfort, its sonic performance is good. It’s a well-rounded IEM that can cater to bass enthusiasts and detail lovers alike.
I got the Dynabird unit yesterday, the sound is very balanced, it extends a lot better in the lows as compared to iems in the same price bracket, technically above average but the sonic characteristic shown across frequencies makes it a great contender under $100. It is very easy to drive and sounds fuller with better source.
not sure why but I feel Oriveti tunes their IEMs mostly around varying degrees of V shape. OD100, OH700VB , now the Dynabird, all of them are V shaped.
OD200 is a touch and go. Doesn’t lean too much into the V and sounds balanced for the most part.
Very nice read . The shells do look very premium. I am waiting to get my ears on these iems and share my impressions.
Yea, they’re good enough for $100. They don’t do anything extraordinary or don’t do anything less either.
I read on their website that it is cnc aluminum shell, how would you rate the build quality when compared to other metal shell iems like aria?
Just recieved the Oriveti and man the construction is killer.
The metal feels so premium.
Have to listen to it more to give an impression.
Nice, would love to read your comparisons. Can you do a short comparison with aria 2 or xuan nv?
The build quality is excellent and it looks industrial
The wave have passed and I am still waiting for a meet to listen to them.
How are they holding now after Valour and all
I had it and sold it soon
My friend loaned me his OD100… and damn this thing requires power to sound good.
Feed it with warm source and a bit of voltage.
