FLIPEARS AEGIS: A Particular Performer One With A Brazen Coloured Sound

Image
"Aegis is a mythical and almost omnipotent artifact in the Greek mythology crafted by the the god of fire, volcanoes and blacksmithing, Hephaestus. It was usually depicted as a shield that was used by Zeus as it is known for its godly and divine protection, and also it strucks fear and terror over mortal men." This audio product review is one of the special moments that happen in my audio assessment hobby as this set is proudly made in my country. What I have here is the latest midrange model from  FLIPEARS  and it is a two-driver set up IEM. FLIPEARS  is the probably the most prominent In-Ear manufacturer here in the Philippines and it is actually the local pioneer of the said audio product industry. This audio company was founded by Mr. Ariel Sales, a songwriter/singer with an extensive experience of audio engineering as his main goal is to provide an excellent product with varying tonal profiles for music artists, audio professionals and also for casual audio enthusias...

BLON BL03 II: A Huge Leap of Improvement

This review article will be more special as this product has some connection with its well-known predecessor which somehow intertwined with yours truly on why I became an audio reviewer in the first place.

After I received some information about this product, I saved up and bought the BL03 on pre-order from an e-vendor in an online shopping app. When I received this unit with a gleeful smile to my face, after a few hours of testi...

TWISTURA D-MAJOR: Another Shining, Shimmering, Splendid Set

Image
D Major is musical scale based on a D and it handles the D, E, F#, G, A, B, C# and its two sharps in on its key signature. TWISTURA  is one of the recently established audio companies out there and they released their inaugural product, The TWISTURA D-Major. The TWISTURA D-Major is a single driver set-up IEM with a detachable tuning nozzle feature. Inside of its driver technology is a single 10mm dual-chambered dual-arrayed magnetic form dynamic driver with a beryllium-coated Polyurethane (PU) composite diaphragm that will ensure rigidity and flexibility to deliver a deeper bass, clear midrange and high resolution treble presentation. The driver was then encased in a solid zinc alloy structure that underwent an electroplating process to achieve the glossy and metallic finish on its surface. Its overall contour is a rounded square that reminds me of the shape of a fingernail. There's an opaque circular resin design on its faceplate and then, on the side of its shell structure, there...
