Oriveti OD200 Review – Smooth, Sonorous
The OD200 is an interesting IEM that has notably more niche appeal than most, focusing on responsiveness, richness and outstanding long-term listenability.

The Aria 2 brings the experience closer to the brand’s pricier DD models at the same price whilst improving upon build and accessories.
The Blessing 3 offers performance that was once only available in the kilo-buck price range now but is now well within the reach of the average audiophile.
The ORA is a beautifully streamlined, versatile and powerful compact speaker that provides a refined experience at what remains an attainable price point.
This cable suits those wanting to extract every iota of potential from their high-end IEM whilst staying true to its core intended character.
While The T-100 would benefit from easier tuning via filters or tips, there is a charm in a tuning that is so focused on delivering on one particular measure where modern earphones assume more of a jack-of-all-trades approach.
Eletech’s latest may not be their most premium models but offer superb ergonomics in two flavours of sound, both underpinned by strong technical performance.
The Z5 faces tough competition, even internally from Lypertek’s own line-up however, to balance sound quality and lifestyle features with such aplomb must be recognised.
The 109 Pro boasts market-leading comfort alongside a vibrant sound signature that doesn’t overstay its welcome but injects music with a joie de vivre that hooks upon first listen and continues to engage thereafter.
A decade ago, the prospect of squeezing Audeze’s full range of technologies in a compact in-ear form factor would have passed as an appropriate April fool’s joke. The Euclid offers a balanced sound with excellent listenability, imaging and definition.
If you’re looking for a velvety sound that balances powerful bass with excellent midrange definition and timbre, the Perpetua is without equal.
If you enjoy a warm, lush tonality with a nice analogue fuzz, the Cappuccino comes across as an authentic offering at an accessible price point.
This isn’t a cable for treble-heads but if you enjoy a smooth yet articulate sound, you’d be hard pressed to find such a desirable design and mix of sonic qualities in a competing cable.
Don’t let the lack of tuning or modular cable fool you, the Elixir is wonderfully charming right out of the box and very much in the same leagues as class leaders as an overall package.
The S12 offers class-leading resolving power with a tuning that isn’t perfect but can easily be considered proficient with the right ear tip pairings.
The Aurum has become a personal benchmark around its asking price and will likely remain so for some time to come.
