IVIPQ Conch V13 Review!!! And there's another Conch??? What de heyeck is going on here?!?
I was hesitant to get this set. No box and tuning switches? Those are usually red flags for me. But I decided to jump in ears-first anyway. Thank you to IVIPQ for extending an additional discount to me, but as always, that did not affect my opinion or conclusions for this set. The Conch V13, tuning switches and all of that, did not fail to impress me. It is competitively priced and has a fantastic modular cable included. Who needs a box anyway?

Going from an $800 set of headphones, that I absolutely love, to a $35 set of IEMs, that I was simply hoping for "pretty good" out of, and not experiencing a huge let down, was surprising to say the least. That may be the worst sentence I have ever written. LOL. No. I have done worse. Anyway, the Q1 Pro came highly recommended for a solid mid-budget set. EPZ was kind enough to send a review set...

This was not just a re-tune of the SG, it was a driver upgrade as well. You can tell by the sweetness and clarity of the treble alone. We all hope that a new edition of an established and well-respected set will be an upgrade and in the case of the SE, that is exactly what we got. Well done Tangzu! Well Done!

Mack Truck, Freight Train, Naval Destroyer, The Borg. Those are all images that come to mind when I think of the DMA.

how do they sound with valorant?
Great review.
@@miriam120 Thank you! Just about to record the V12!!! ☮️
@@BassDad8 It's going to be interesting. 👃
For under $100 the Onix Alpha XI1 👏🏼
Can i do well with my moondrop dawn pro dac for this one?And on which output would it sound better, 3.5 or 4.4?,thanks for the review anyway
@@j.h.m.s5164 yes on the Dawn Pro and if you can go with a 4.4 for the max power output, that would be ideal.
Try legacy Soviet tubes. More musical and clean. I can't have a tube amp like that unless there is an actual cage for the tubes, I have iguanas
@@wahid-lg1kk cool! I’ve been wanting to try more tubes on it! Was thinking about Genalex gold lions, but I wasn’t sure I wanted to pay that much. Where did you get the Soviet tubes?
Giving the basic tech specs like amp type and architecture, type of dac chip, etc, is a good thing, most people don't. Have you tried the k11 r2r? Might be too early still for r2r to be so cheap tho.. 0.1% variance resistors, which is a big number..
I have 7hz sonus, should I buy these?
@@gourabdeb9144 the only advantage would be for female vocals. The Sonus is a highly underrated set. I’m not saying the SE would be completely redundant, but…
Get well soon
An onlyfans unboxing channel... With hi-res music playing in the background...
@@reflection1119 LOL!!! Yes!!!
Well done!
Question, what is the Lightning to USB-C cable you are using on these? Is it the SHANLING L3 one? Sorry if you said in the video, I'm kinda just looking for a reliable cable since I got a AFUL Snowy Night recently, with a borked cable.
@@nyororomeowelas1225 Yea. The Shanling L3. It has changed my world. My lightning port is dying, but I can now use all of my dongle dacs again virtually without any connection issues. Best OTG cable I have used.
kefine delci vs artti r1 genres(pop, jazz,r&b)❤❤
@@user-pp9wb6bj5l even though I love the sort of unique tuning of the R1, the Delci is definitely the safer choice of the two. It is a highly versatile and excellent sounding set. The R1 is more exciting in some ways, but also warmer and a bit darker. For your genres of choice, the Delci is the way to go.
@@BassDad8 thank you for reply IT IS WORTH TO BUYING BALANCED CABLE FOR ARTTI R1 BECAUSE MY DAC ALSO SUPPORT 4.4 MM TERMINAL REPLY SOON BRO I WANT TO BUY I ALWAYS SUPPORT YOU🥰🥰🥰
@@user-pp9wb6bj5l yes! Go for the 4.4!!! And thank you!!!
@BassDad8 artti r1 cable fantastic can artti r1 cable 3.5 mm work with female 3.5mm to male 4.4mm connector for balanced use because balanced cable much costly
@@user-pp9wb6bj5l you won’t need to. Plus I am very skeptical of any 3.5 to 4.4mm adapters. I know they exist, but I don’t know how they work exactly. The R1 does not need the extra juice to perform at its best anyway. If you can use 3.5mm, just stick with that
Sounds like a really great value set from IVIPQ (especially on sale 🙂) . Extras are nice to have but the tuning and quality of the iems themselves are most important, imho. If those things are done poorly then I think it's a fail on a fundamental level regardless of what's included. I'm really interested to see how you think the CCA Hydro measures up (since I already have that set 😉). Thank you for another great review! 👍
@@_-Z- you know it! I’m testing the V12 currently, but the Hydro will be next. And I’m still gonna squeeze a shorter, but more detailed review of the Onix Alpha. I’m going to try to get them all in before I go camping where there is no “lab” and no cell service next week. Sh*t! I need to download some tunes!!!
Would be interested in btr7 vs onix just sound quality point If you could was gonna buy either one
@@Oun104 they’re pretty darn close in sound quality imo. The filters on the Onix are pretty cool, but the versatility of the btr7 with hi res BT codecs is also very attractive, especially if you have Android for your OS. Tough call because they are so darn close in quality
@@BassDad8 yeah to me its just sound Bluetooth was an add on but i wanted to just wanted a sound quality difference in wired comparison Even the tonality is the same ?
@@Oun104 really close. Perhaps the btr7 is a little more crisp in the highs and slightly more neutral.
@@BassDad8 thank you buddy
@@Oun104 anytime!
i'm trying to decide between the "freya 2.0" and the "bgvp dma"...do u have any advice..?
@@up_the_knocks I’m gonna be straight with you. The DMA has an edge in technical performance and certainly in resonance with that BCD. Where the Freya 2.0 wins is in smoothness and polish while still having very good extension and treble detail. It’s more of a stylistic choice. The DMA is pretty intense, especially at higher volumes. The Freya keeps her cool (well she’s a bit warm actually) no matter what you throw at her. Both sets were loaned to me and I gotta tell ya, I’m having a hard time choosing between the two. I own the Hodur, so I’d probably go with the DMA just to mix it up.
The rhapsody is a good one with tuning switches that will have you tinkering for hours. Thanks for the review
Nice video! Good info on the products, shame about the Muse. TP30 rigged the game, gold can only get gold! 😂
Great review. Definitely a uniquely tuned set in a very crowded price point.
why do reviewers never go into how well a set responds to various eq. with most iem's being hybrid, and with decent crossover designs should be able to eq atlease close to someone's preferred tuning
@@ManoharOfficial I get what you’re saying. I think most reviewers, myself included, tend to focus on the “intended” or “stock” tuning. Not everyone likes to play with EQ. About the most I ever do is throw on a bass boost on one of my dacs to see how a set responds. From what I can tell a lot of effort goes into tuning a set a specific way, so that is why I don’t use EQ. What would be interesting is if a company decided to release a dead neutral iem (with good drivers) that is specifically designed to be used with EQ. I could get down with that.
@@BassDad8 maybe that is what I really wanted. an iem with flat profile and very eq'able drivers. but idk, hoping for too much? i'm also a cheapass so doesnt help my situation much lol
12:04 nice.
lol! Oops…
Congrats! Well deserved sir
Great review! I assume that soon in honor of Black Friday you will make an annual summary
@@GalGaos Absolutely!!!
The set is probably $20 less without the excessive packaging, gotta look at the glass half full. Also, toothpicks work well with tuning switches, they won't scratch the iem.
@@Sforzabull ahh! Yes! Much better than my safety pin idea!
Nice review, thanks. An interesting set for under $100.
I just got done listening to an AI rendition of Slipknot's self titled album if it was made in the 1960s.....we live in some wild times lol.
@@Hijynx87 whoa. That must’ve been pretty trippy lol
Great review!
That shell's pretty nice, reminds me of the Mest MK2 I remember being one of the early purchasers of Pula PA02 and also not getting a box lol. Felt so shady
😴
Yeah. I get it. I kinda felt that way about it too. I promise I will make up for it with the Onix Alpha full review though. Comp videos are really hit or miss for me.
The Onix Alpha XI1 has already caught my attention but don't have it yet. Sounds like I'll definitely be grabbing it sometime in the future, though. Thank you for another great one! 👍
Thanks. I gotta agree with Frankentsein though. It was not my most energetic or entertaining video. The Onix Alpha full review will be better. So many cool things to go over with that little unit!
hi, What Options do I have to turn wired headphones into Bluetooth and a normal out port into Bluetooth ? Thank you
with the hifigo 818 SALES deals I don't know what to buy between the BQEYZ WIND or spend a bit more on the BGVP DMA... which will it be for you?
@@woophieink6528 oh gosh get the DMA!!! I miss that set a lot! Now I’m probably going to buy it!!!
@@BassDad8 Isn't it too tiring? Can it make the moments gentle and calm ... in the music ... when the track requires it?
@@woophieink6528 Good question. It is kind of full-on in its presentation, but here is the thing, it performs very well at lower volume too. So I would say, based on the overall performance, it is still the better choice of the two. However, the Wind would definitely be considered "calmer" overall. Tough decision. For me it is the DMA all day, but the Wind might be the better choice for you. And it is a very high-performing set as well!
Hipdac pairs pretty well with any planar iem. And the bass boost makes it so much fun.
After your review, I think they will be perfect for me, I love good quality and bass power without losing the rest, they are also not very expensive I bought them and I'm waiting for delivery
Sir ,,kz castor ,chu 2 ,zero 2,tangzu waner... In these what would u suggest for me....i hear musics like justinbeiber,hiphop, instagram musics through reels..need a decent bass,clarity, seperation,overall good all-rounder
yo bangsaudio does the tp12 have low distortion? just thought it would be a decent place holder dongle for my sisters iphone. decided to get her some iems and that dongle
I've been holding out on buying the btr15. how does that compare to the btr7? also the timing of this video is just mindblowing, AndyAudioVault just announced he's stopping the dongle ranking
Hey I Found your channel through your review on APOS, Love the content! I love how you can slightly change the sound by changing the tubes on this thing. I am looking for something Bass Heavy and I am very new to the hobby. Right now I am fighting between the Xduoo TA-22, the Burson Playmate 2, The Geshelli J2/E2 or the Topping E70 Velvet/L70 I love Bass and heavy metal music, not sure if Bass Slam is a good thing but I love a crazy punchy bass so if anyone has tried these and has any feedback would love to hear it!
