CVJ CS8: The Unique Tuned One

Good day, mates! Here's my initial impression and review of the latest offering from CVJ, The CVJ CS8.

First of all,I would like to thank Ms.Janet Hu for providing this such pretty damn good item for reviewing purpose and to share some insights to other fellow audio enthusiasts out there.

CVJ is a new audio company based on Guangdong, China that offers well-tuned products for domestic and international markets.

The unboxing experience of this product is a pleasant one as it really feels that it is premium unboxing experience.The contents inside are the IEMs, 2 pairs of extra silicon eartips (small and large sizes), a velcro wire holder, a 4-core OFC cable and a brown velvet pouch.The box itself is a solid one like a jewelry box.

The IEM is an 8 hybrid driver (3 balanced armature and 1 DD on each side).It is made of resin with metal faceplate,its construction and structural design is very sturdy and solid that it could handle wear and tear usage.The 0.75 mm recessed 2- pin connector is my preferance as I really abhorred the QDC/C-type style connectors due to its questionable and structural issue such as suddenly cracking on its sleeve.

My initial experience of this IEM is very satisfying that I could tell its sound signature and its individual audible character in every audio spectrum based on my subjective hearing perception.

The LOWS/BASS has a soft punchy, light thumping feeling that this is what some audio enthusiasts called a neutral bass.A very clean presentation and fast decay in resolution.Bass guitars fretting is detail enough to feel its reverb,The double bass drum is satisfying enough to feel its boomy presence.

The MIDS is the prominent feature of this IEM as it shows its meaty, clean  and transparent nature.The vocals are forward in the mix especially on females.There's a hint of a little bit of sibilance and stridency on some tracks.The instruments sounds really great and natural to me as its reveal its intricate details and clarity such as the crunchiness of electric guitars and natural and emotional reverb of a piano piece.

The HIGHS/TREBLE is somewhat bright and slightly more forward in my hearing perception as it reveals its microdetails but it doesn't have this some annoying,  artificial shrilly metallic sounding that you will found on most entry level hybrid( Im looking at you, KZ ZSN pro and TRN ST1.)The sounds of cymbals and triangles are accurately portray thus it is a natural sounding.

The SOUNDSTAGE width is above average but it compensates with its dynamic  depth range.The IMAGING is a good enough to know the positioning of instrument placement.

As I will put my conclusion here,That this IEM has a better place in current audio market as myriads of competitors out there offers the same V-shaped tuning, strident uppermids tuning as it offers a different approach and offer a distinctive tuning to other audio enthusiasts who wants to try and explore other sound signature.If you are leaning to bassy sound sig then I cannot recommend this one.

Pros:Loud, bright midcentric tuning (LG G7), Balanced sound sig(LG V20), Clean vocals, bright smooth treble.
