I would like to thank the NiceHCK for providing this review unit to Audio reviews Downunder, the Australian tour group. NiceHCK JIALAI Carat uses a 10mm DLC Titanium-Coated Diaphragm. It is supplied with a practical leather case and has a 32 Ohm impedance. Fit and comfort The Carat is a fairly small IEM and as such is a comfortable fit. Experimentation with other tips to get a good seal is vital to extract the pull bass levels the IEM is capable of. The nozzle is moderately short and I actually had to use a medium tip to get the proper insertion...

Introduction Oriveti is a Chinese audio company, originating in 2015 and based in Hong Kong. The Oriveti OD200 is a single dynamic driver with a diameter of 9.8mm and a beryllium coated driver. The company has also developed a propriety airflow system they call DAC (Dedicated Airflow Distribution). This, they claim, allows the driver to perform at its optimum levels. Knowing how other IEM’s with vented casings work so well I was interested to see how an internal airflow system could stand up. I note the case does have a vent with a small grill...

Source and tips. This example was loaned to me from Brad Thomas's personal collection for audition as a member of Audio Reviews Downunder tour group.

JuzearClear has a V shaped sound balance, with boosted bass and highs and theoretically recessed midrange. Having said that it's not the full story with this IEM. This V shaped tuning style has evolved...

Simgot was kind enough to send in the EA1000 for review, as part of an Australian audio review tour, I wasn't paid for the review, any opinions, thoughts are my own. Design musings Development of in ear monitors is accelerating as manufacturers compete for best in class. Single Dynamic driver IEMs would seem to be the most basic design, with products on the market for less than $20. And yet Simgot is selling the EA1000 at $220. The reason is they have taken the design and developed it to the Nth degree. I don’t pretend to understand what sputter...
