CVJ Mirror: The Flat Contender
Good day mates, Once again I would like to introduce to you again a product from CVJ, The CVJ Mirror.
The CVJ Mirror is a 6 hybrid driver set-up, 2 Balanced Armatures (30095) and 1 Dynamic Driver on each side. Its price range is around US$ 50.00 on online stores. This IEM has an almost flat, neutral sound signature with a little bit of bright yet still delivers an even and smoother treble.
The packaging box is identical to their entry-level sibling, The CVJ CSE. It has simple box with yellow and black cover on its cover. Its contents inside contains of the IEMs itself, 2 pairs of ear tips (small and large), A typical 4 core stock black cable that you will find it on CVJ and TRN, a velcro lace cable organizer, some paper works ( instruction manuals and warranty card) and velvet pouch.
The build quality of this IEM is good, it has a unique shape either a tear drop or leaf-like contour, made from aluminium shell which screams durability and sturdy built. It has a matte-finished coating on it which feels less slippery to hold.The size of this IEM is quite compact that it fits to all ear sizes.
Here are my detailed descriptions on its tonality and tuning:
LOWS/ BASS
The bass quality of this IEM is on a punchy soft side as some of listener will perceive it as a "neutral" bass but still retain its texture. It has very faint sub bass rumble with some emphasis on midbass region. Bassheads will be frowned upon the bass aspect of this IEM due its lack of quality bass that they are looking for.
MIDS
The mids of this one is clean, smooth and well-delineate. It has balance density of it. The balanced texture of vocals of both female and male are very refined and naturally represented. The sound of rhythm and percussions instruments are more pronounce and detailed especially on acoustic guitars, piano and drums. You will feel the crunchy and crisp sound of acoustic and rhythm guitar, It has good timbre on each instrument with a sense of cohesiveness. Midcentrics would probably love the density quality of the mids of this one and I can assure it as I am also a midcentric.
HIGHS/TREBLE
The treble quality is leaning on bright side,well-detailed, sparkling and clarity of it.There's an emphasis on upper treble region that will produce a shimmer and a little bit edgy. The presence of micro-details is exemplary. It has good extension in the end of brilliance region as it has an airy sound. There are has some occurances of sibilance on some tracks that has very hissing vocals .I can hear the strikes on cymbal sounds very authoritative and life-like sound yet a splashy one on some other tracks that I've tried. There are some tracks that will show some hint of a little speck of tinniness on its spectrum that some will perceived as metallic but it doesn't matter to me as I want a raw sounding on the strikes on brass cymbals as closer to realism that I've heard on metal gigs that I'm attending.Trebleheads will even agreed that this one will a choice for them.
SOUNDSTAGE and IMAGING
It has an above average soundstage which I still considered it as wide, and its height is more quantified than its depth. The imaging is adequate as the sense of panning quality of instruments can be pinpoint its location in room space but its layering is quite impressive.The separation of each instrument has a decent spacing just to have a sense of timbre.
As I put my thoughts on this review, This IEM is one of the best neutral sounding out there in a very competitive current market of audio gears within its price range (US $50.00 price segment) that I can highly recommended it to fellow audio enthusiasts to purchase it or even a good add-on to IEM collectors due to their unique look and finished.This is an IEM that can be proudly recommended to midcentric and treblehead like-minded audiophiles that will put a smile on their faces.
