Entry-Level products are those friendly with your pockets, and the kind of products you want to have at the beginning of your audio journey. Here, each dollar brings huge improvements, and the higher you climb on the price ladder early on, the better your overall performance is.
You can find my reviews on entry-level products below, and also the best entry-level products here: https://amzn.to/3faO37O
Views 40,605 MU6 ring is an air conduction earbud thingy that is supposed to sit on your ear and provide music, and is priced at 80 USD at the moment of writing this full written review. Given the fact that I do not know of anything that is in the …
Views 62,463 MT-602 is a headphone amplifier with tubes on a budget, priced at 100 USD, and it comes with two 6J1 Tubes, runs in class A, and will be compared to JDS Labs Atom AMP+, Soundavo HP-1 DAC-AMP, and xDuoo TA-10 Headphone AMP, also with tubes. Introduction xDuoo …
Views 50,477 Tempotec E35 Sonata is a DAC/AMP with the price tag of 80 USD, driverless operation, dual DACs, and 80mW of power at 32 OHMs. It will be compared to iBasso DC-01 (50 USD), FiiO M3 PRO (70 USD), FiiO BTR5 (110 USD). Introduction Tempotec has been a …
Views 66,265 We have a really nicely priced headphone here, with a price tag of about 200 USD in most places (after tax and shipping). I will be comparing HE400SE with HIFIMAN Sundara (350 USD), Sivga Phoenix (250 USD), and Soundmagic HP1000 (300 USD). Most of the competitors are more …
Views 39,670 It is time for the other NF Audio IEM, the NM2+, the one I missed reviewing quicker. It is priced at 170 USD, so it will be compared to IKKO OH10 Obsidian (170 USD), Optimisation Elements OElements Tita (170 USD), and BQEYZ Spring 2 (170 USD). Feels like …
Views 69,897 If you’re looking for beautiful IEMS, look no further, with Ms2 Rainbow being probably the most beautiful IEM you can get without spending a fortune. They cost about 90 USD at the moment of writing this review, and they are going to be compared with iBasso IT01X (120 …
Views 29,897 iBasso has been on a roll for the entry-level price range, and the IT01X is the natural evolution after the original IT01 and IT01S. It comes at the price of 120 USD, and has a double sided driver, along with a helmholtz resonator like IE800 from the past. …
Views 74,955 JDS Labs Atom AMP+ is an amplifier made by JDS Labs from the USA, and priced at 100 USD at the moment of writing this review. I did not review many amplifiers in this price range, so the comparisons will include the original JDS Labs Atom, xDuoo TA-10, …
Views 19,521 It is that time of the year again, when, at 70 USD, a company decides to implement way too many drivers in an IEM, so we have a 7-driver configuration from CCA. There’s even one dynamic driver for the mids and lows, with two selections of BA drivers …
Views 62,332 Tri Starsea is the kind of IEM with a simple 2 BA + 1 DD Design, which sounds really nice. They are priced at 130 USD, so they will get compared to BQEYZ Spring 2, Etymotic ER3SE, and Shuoer Tape PRO. Introduction TRI is actually commanded and …
Views 40,747 Eartstudio ES100 MKII is an older bluetooth receiver, but one that everyone loved, and is priced at 90 USD at the moment of writing this full written review. It will be compared to FiiO BTR5, FiiO BTR3K, and Qudelix 5K. Introduction Earstudio is a really nice company, …
Views 59,633 RE400C is an IEM with the connector on type-C and priced at 80 USD. They will only work with smartphones that have audio over type-C USB, and they are made for smartphones only. Given the design, I can’t compare them with anything, nor go for pairings, but I …
Views 61,279 The concept of a DAB radio is nothing new, but at least to me, it is something I never reviewed or experienced before. WR230S is like a mini jukebox that you need to keep powered from the wall mains, and it is priced at about 170 USD. It …
Views 58,687 Spring 2 is a high-quality IEM with 1 Piezzoelectric + 1 Dynamic Driver and a price point of 170 USD at the moment of writing this full written review. They come in two colors, either black, as presented in today’s review, or green lime which I would avoid …
Views 29,046 I figured it was a mighty time to post a review on those fairly detailed IEMS, so here we go with BGVP! They make some of the most desired Chifi IEMs, and today’s model is priced at just 230 USD! While most of their earlier models were sold …
Views 28,567 Hiby R2 is a tiny DAP with a really good price point, of about 100 USD. In today’s full-length review, it will be compared to Shanling M2X, FiiO M3 PRO, and ACME MF-01. It is aimed at IEM users and can be considered feature-rich, being able to decode …
Views 30,805 Nf Audio is a small company making entry-level IEMs, and they are supported by stores rather than directly, and they are priced quite affordably, at 100 USD. They are a dual-chamber Single Dynamic Driver IEM, and they will be compared with other entry-level IEMs, like Shuoer Tape PRO, …
Views 41,526 HUD100 MK II is a DAC/AMP made by Earstudio as a response to their original, which was criticized by many including me in the full written review I posted before. The MK II is totally different, and it comes with more driving power, and a lower price point, …
Views 53,306 Etymotic ER3SE is the answer if you ever wanted to have a really deep seal IEM. Etymtoic used to be and still is your best choice for detail too. They make some interesting IEMs that are basically good hearing aid models, but can also be used to listen …
Views 69,155 Sivga Phoenix is the next best thing made by Sivga, and it is a dynamic headphone priced at 250 USD. It comes in the Zebrano color I have, and in Europe it costs closer to 300 EUR rather than 250 USD, thanks to taxes. It will get compared …
Views 63,286 Slide Mini or to not Slide Mini is a philosophical question. Those TWS IEMs are priced at 40 USD, and I honestly can’t do much of a comparison or anything like that since any competitor I know of is much more expensive. My photo artist took the photos …
Views 57,863 Avara Neo is a really pocket-friendly entry-level IEM priced at 40 USD, making it one of the least expensive IEMs I ever reviewed on Audiophile-Heaven. The company has some nifty features for this price though, at just for a few extra USD you can customise your own Neo, …
Views 42,554 There’s something about those affordable DAC/AMPs that makes me smile every time I hear one. They tend to be great value, but also mostly designed nicely with the user in mind. HP-1 DAC is the same, and for 130 USD you can have the ultimate DAC/AMP for an …
Views 29,481 IT00 is an entry-level IEM / Earphone designed by iBasso. They are priced neatly at 70 USD, making them one of the most affordable high-quality IEMs out there. The main comparisons / dangerous enemies of the IT00 will be 1Custom Junior, iBasso IT01S, and FiiO FH3. It will …
Views 17,803 How about we return to the good old times of retro DAPs, with no touchscreen, and we delve into a review of Acmee MF-01, something still based on the legendary Muses02 OP-AMPs. It is priced at around 100 USD, and we will compare it to Hiby R2, FiiO …
