Dita Mecha Review – Organic

DITA’s latest IEM is robust, lush and spacious, offering strong versatility with a particular focus on organic tonality and natural texture.

Kinera Thorking Review – Flat Plus

The Thorking is an earphone that offers a slightly more forgiving take on an old-school neutral tuning realised through gorgeous design and excellent technical ability.  

Meze Alba Review – Adaptable

The Alba represents one of the strongest all-around packages at this asking price with a gorgeous tonality that does the brand justice, making it a personal favourite recommendation.

AFUL Magic One Review – Chosen

The MagicOne represents terrific value and appeals to those wanting excellent long-term listenability whilst upholding a natural timbre and excellent resolution.

Moondrop Stellaris Review – Experimental

While the Stellaris’ efficiency and sound ergonomics seem to appeal to broad consumers, its polarising tuning means it inevitably comes across as more of a proof of concept rather than a versatile daily driver.

Meze Audio ADVAR Review – Flow Formed

Backed by Meze’s venerable aesthetic and ergonomic design, the Advar is an excellent choice for those wanting an engaging U-shaped sound built atop a strong technical foundation.

Astrotec Phoenix 6 Review – Maturity

The Phoenix 6 is one of the most surprising and impressive IEMs I’ve reviewed as of late. I applaud Astrotec for their versatile, beautifully tuned and meticulously constructed flagship that represents a serious contender in the high-end space.

ikko OH1s Review – Master of None

The OH1s is a beautifully designed earphone with excellent build quality and a super svelte form factor. The sound has a unique character that will no doubt appeal to some but cannot be universally praised and recommended.

Etymotic EVO – Time Capsule

Like the ER-line before it, the EVO is intimate, hyper-responsive and oh so clean from bottom to top. Years later, the Etymotic sound remains hard come by and has plenty of life.
