The Asura 2.0S discards all notion of seal in favour of crystal clarity and a grand soundstage presentation. This is an incredibly refined take on a neutrally-orientated earbud sound.

The Pro has a truly delicious tonality that ticks all the boxes; it’s instantly gratifying, natural, and balanced without sacrificing character or engagement.

For a reasonable price, Fiio provide buyers with an excellent housing, balanced capability and a resolving V-shaped sound.

The dual dynamic driver Masya impresses with its delicate midrange, smooth high-end and innovative if not perfectly refined form factor.

Newcomer Ourart shoot for the stars with their Ti7, an innovative earbud that sounds almost as good as it looks. Their laid-back tones won’t be to everyone’s liking, but beyond their thickness lies some convincing technicality.

The Polaris is a beast of coherence and tonal fineness. They are exceptionally well integrated for a hybrid and will be sure to put a smile on your face whether driven from a $1000 DAP or streaming Spotify from a smartphone.
