Impressions - Feels very musical, notes feel hefty aided by the Bone conduction driver, BC implementation feels different from my previous experience of Kbear KB-03, oh the Treble - its Tangyy! Stay tuned for my full review, kudos and happy listening
Just wanted to share a few shots of the MAKINAaudio T100B.
A single BA IEM from South Korea, tuned for natural timbre, coherence, and everyday listening.
Hope you enjoy the photos. Feedback is always appreciated.
I had an airpods 1st gen which has that stem mode and i want an upgrade , its not because its bad but it for their old model of hanging in the ear and no noise cancelation within , and i had them over 1-1.5 years , is buying the R50i NC worth buying , since i want an upgrade from those
While clearing the stocks, I stumbled upon this nondescript metal box. 📦
Forgot I even had this thing honestly. FiiO K5 Pro, AK4493 version, been sitting in a drawer for who knows how long while I was chasing newer stuff. Plugged it back in today just to see and damn, this old boy still hits hard. Volume knob feel alone is worth more than half the plastic desktop amps coming out now.
Not gonna lie, sometimes the “old” gear just does something the new stuff cant replicate, that AK4493 signature has a warmth to it that a lot of newer chips try too hard to correct away.
Anyone else got a piece of gear that got buried and then blew you away when you rediscovered it?
Hidizs AP30 is rising up almost like an answer to Hiby R1. We will collect every bit of information, insight and maybe local experience at MBA Stay tuned!
