    Nice one, Khoi! Clear, concise and informative. I would definitely take a look at these if I were in the market for something at this price point.

    I own the sv007 and the sv21 Robin. The Robin is super comfortable and sounds great. All for below 100 dollars on eBay (new) . Great company, I will be buying these due to prior purchases..

    Funny how with iems, the established brands lost to the Chinese upstarts, but remained the relevant option for headphones. I remember this era of no-name headohones coming out each week.

    This headphone driver reminds me of the Sendy Aiva, Blon B20 and Monoprice M570 drivers. They all had the same repackaged drivers with different grill covers and foam filters. All of them have the same exact wood covers for the driver housing. Each wood housing has different darkness of wood varnish. Love them all.

    You know this is so nice to hear. Some of these 5 to 700$ headphones can be a beautiful surprise and make HIFI listening easy and fun. I had a similar experience with the FIIO FT5. Wow. That headphone specializes in the warm relaxed sound. And? Yes. The build quality and accessories are insanely good. ❤

      ⁠I really enjoy the FT5. Love how it has scalability and to me the FT5 sounds it’s absolute best on a quality tube amplifier. It is a headphone that has warmth and height in the soundstage. I do not EQ this headphone, however the FT5 is a little more demanding in the source department than one might think for a $500.00 headphone.
      Worth exploring. The price of the headphone is absolutely worth it. Build quality and pad rolling system is terrific as well. I’m

    Maybe the price is "mid-fi", but I've always looked at hi-fi as a tier that tells us how well the hardware represents the original music. And hearing the review it seems this is firmly in the hi-fi category.

    I guess it depends what you define as Mid-fi. From what I gather, Midfi ends around the $1500 price point does it not? The benchmark I remember someone mentioning was the Focal Clear OG when it came out, with the Stellia and Utopia representing HIFi, etc. Maybe I am totally off here...

      I love the Venus. I think it’s an awesome headphone, but very bass light and also extremely difficult to drive properly, I think the drivers in this is better technically but I think the Venus is tuned slightly more pleasantly.
