They offer a wide range of items from cables and IEMs from $39 all the way up to $2999. I will be referring to the 10th Anniversary edition as ‘ TSMR X ‘ for convenience sake. They are now celebrating their 10th anniversary with a limited edition 10th anniversary set for the price of $399, making it settle in the midrange...

The Aurora will be 7HZ’s 2nd attempt in penetrating the more pricier side of the hobby with a $399 price point. This price range is often occupied by the likes of Thieaudio Hype, Moondrop’s Blessing, and along with Tanchjim’s Oxygen series. 7HZ packed the Aurora...

This price point is one of the most crowded sections of the market. It is equipped with 2BA+1DD combo and the balanced armature this time is made by Knowles...

The Hype 2 is priced at around $300 dollars which is the cheapest of the Hype series. It competes with the likes of big names such as the Blessing 3 , AFUL Performer 8, and my personal favorite...

This is the successor of the T5 which was released back a couple years ago. Going by the specifications I’ve looked up, the T5s seems to carry a single dynamic driver the TinHifi made themselves. Whether or not that is enough of a driver for the $129 asking price is up for debate but spoiler alert it does sound nice but driver count is not indicative of one’s performance. ||...

I had this for quite a while and due to other circumstances is now trying my hand on the Sonus. Priced at roughly $59 at the time of writing, the Sonus is packed with a single dynamic driver and a single balanced armature.

For this matter Yanyin products are kind rare in the wild and are severely underrated. Yanyin released a follow-up to the well regarded Canon with the Canon II.

BLON is known in not only the budget space of the hobby but throughout it in general with the really popular releases such as the OG BLON BL03 spewing a huge amount of interest in the brand. Now with their recognition of the hobby, and in my opinion, a lack of another hugely successful release such as the BL03, BLON as a brand may seem to like a one-hit-wonder.
