  • Here is my take on the Kotori Audio Vampire. They are made by a boutique in ear monitor company based in Singapore and they use one Knowles Balanced Armature per side.

    Cable hardware looks like 7/16" nuts. I like it

    Single BA seem to be an interesting breed. Awesome review!

    I'd love to try a single BA IEM, but in an even smaller form factor, to take advantage of the small driver size. Something like the old Apple ADDIEM.

      Never heard of that model and I have tried three single BA models up to this point.

    They kinda messed up here, if i named the iems "audio vampire " I would have tuned them....warm...dark...V shaped ( V for vampire ) and made it a 2+1 as a single BA can never compete with a single DD in the bass department, allthough i think BAs handling the mids and treble is a good idea due to them having that planar like speed which helps with complex tracks

      Vampire would have been a good name for a different tuning indeed.

      @@VortexReviews1 i think its a cheaper aful magic one which isnt a bad thing, on another note i highly recomend the shanling M6 ultra for techno trance music, the BQEYZ wind just sounds sublime when combined with the M6 Ultra

    I don't see why they used a single ba over a single dd. They probably got a good deal on them, lol

      @shaami8622 Місяць тому

      Ikr. Why not just use the standard single dd, dd+ba hybrids, dd+ba+est tribrids and pretend interesting configurations never existed. Who cares if they sound interesting... 🤦
