The wait for the AFUL Explorer is finally over, the much-awaited and anticipated 1DD+2BA IEM is here. Crafted with elegance, the pair boasts exciting looks with face panels that match the depth and exploration energy of the Cosmos. As for sound, AFUL has implemented several different patented technologies to come up with the Explorer. They basically used the techniques that they developed for the MagicOne and Performer series of IEMs. We have the self-developed wide-frequency range BA drivers and a DD driver arranged with RLC Network Frequency Division Technology and MicroResonator technology, allowing the pair to deliver a high-resolution sound performance. Are you ready to dive deeper into the realms and experience new levels of music with the AFUL Explorer!!
Three-Driver Hybrid Design:
AFUL has previously designed multi-driver hybrid in-ear monitors in the form of Performer5 and Performer8. The latest Explorer also features a three-driver hybrid setup consisting of a dynamic driver unit and two Balanced Armature driver units.
Combined Technologies from Previous Releases:
AFUL has implemented different technologies that they have released and patented so far. The pair features wide-frequency response range BA drivers that AFUL specially developed for the MagicOne. The pair has multiple patented techs that AFUL has previously implemented in the Performer series, this includes RLC network frequency division, 3D Resonator crossover, high-damping air pressure balanced management system, etc.
Precisely Engineered Multi-Layered Crossover:
AFUL Explorer adopts precisely designed multi-layered electronic crossover technology on the pair. It helps in accurate signal processing and distribution among the drivers. This ensures clean and clear sound reproduction, producing a balanced and detailed sound. With RLC network frequency division, the high frequencies get smoother responses without any peaks and abnormal frequency response fluctuations. It also extends the high-frequency band beyond 10kHz.
Professionally Designed Internal Cavity Structure:
Along with multi-layered electronic crossover and RLC Network Division technology, AFUL Explorer also has a physical crossover designed with a 3D printed cavity structure and a special-shaped resonator. The pair has an ultra-thin and long bass tube and a special-shaped resonator cavity design. It smoothens the frequency response and improves the low-end depth in the output. This design enhances the three-frequency response and delivers quality sound to the listeners.
High-Damping Air Pressure Balance Management System:
AFUL Explorer adopts a high-damping air pressure management system. This reduces the eardrum pressure and enhances the bass response with better bass texture and clarity. It releases the trapped air in the air canal, which helps ensure better wearing comfort and provides a deep-hitting bass region.
High-Quality Stock Cable:
AFUL Explorer is bundled with a high-purity stock cable. It is a 200-core dual-strand high-purity copper silver-plated cable which is hand-braided for perfection. This cable improves the three-frequency band. It is also capable of enhancing the midrange performance with better clarity for vocals and instruments. The cable adopts high-quality gold-plated pure copper plugs with a choice between 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs at the time of purchase.

It's warm/bassy sound is what I like the most. The emphasis is more on sub bass but also not in ur face. Mid bass also sounds clean without being shouty. Treble is really smooth with slight sparkle which is great if ur treble sensitive. I can listen to these for hours at work without being distracted or fatigue. Good fit and build quality. Any genre sounds good on this iem.

OUR HONEST REVIEWS FROM THE CO-FOUNDERS & AUDIOPHILES
Best in class adapter for various IEM's. I used it with KZ caster, Fiio JD1 and KZ ZEX. All works perfectly. My choice currently is with KZ ZEX. Instead of Touch, button system to control is too good and easily fits in our ear. ANC is not too aggressive, but quite good. Transparency mode is effective. So finally it's a perfect buy for our IEM's. KZ Rockzzz.

FiiO BTR5 2021 (Tribute to the Legend)
The FiiO BTR5 2021 is a well-regarded portable Bluetooth DAC/AMP known for its strong decoding ability thanks to the dual ES9219C DAC chips. It supports high-resolution audio, including MQA decoding and up to 16x MQA [Discontinued, but not completely] unfolding when paired with compatible sources. The device provides versatile connectivity options such as balanced 2.5mm and single-ended 3.5mm headphone outputs, USB-C DAC functionality, and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless listening. It features a sleek design with an aluminum and glass build, accented by a small display that shows audio info, though the display can sometimes be unreliable in showing the exact source or codec.
Compared to the original BTR5 from 2020, the 2021 model adds MQA support, a new DAC chip for better performance and noise ratio, and an improved USB audio adapter mode that disables charging during USB DAC use. It comes with a short skin-friendly USB-C cable and a redesigned packaging.
One critical caution for the BTR5 2021 (MQA version) is with the FiiO Control app's equalizer function: using the EQ on the device firmware via this app can brick the device permanently. Users recommend applying EQ only on the phone side with apps like Wavelet instead, to avoid this issue.
In its price range, the BTR5 2021 remains competitive, especially for users prioritizing sound quality, build, and MQA support. However, some users compare it with newer or alternative models such as the FiiO BTR15 (which offers Bluetooth 5.1 and 4.4mm balanced output) or the Qudelix 5K(Gone forever), which has more extensive software EQ features but a less premium build.
Overall, the Fiio BTR5 2021 is a solid choice for audiophiles wanting a portable DAC/AMP with both wireless and wired support, especially if you avoid the Fiio app's device EQ to prevent bricking issues. It has a mature firmware, strong sound performance, and versatile connectivity suitable for IEMs and headphones.

Best musical IEM at this price
After a lot of deliberation I bought this as my first IEM. Loved it at my first listen. Still my go to IEM. It has a slight u shape that gives a musical tone to the sound. Caters to a lot of genres. It can be driven by 60mW cheap dongle DAC and amps. Absolute value for money.

Review for The Audio Store, Pune & EarAcoustic STA Hi-End Series IEM
I purchased the EarAcoustic STA Hi-End Series IEM from The Audio Store in Pune about two weeks ago, and I’m extremely happy with both the product and the overall experience.
Starting with the store — the atmosphere was excellent and very comfortable for auditioning different IEMs. The owner himself assisted me personally, and I truly appreciate the warm and professional treatment I received. Despite it being after office hours, he patiently stayed back late just to help me choose the perfect IEM according to my sound preferences — something you rarely experience nowadays.
Coming to the EarAcoustic STA Hi-End IEM, after two weeks of regular use, I can confidently say it’s a brilliant performer in its price range. The soundstage is wide and natural, with crisp highs, balanced mids, and a tight, detailed bass response. It handles every genre — from vocals to instrumental and EDM — with ease. Build quality feels premium, and comfort during long listening sessions is gets better as you use them daily. My ear adapted these according to their shape though after 2-3 hours a very little pain felt sometime.
Overall, both the product quality and the buying experience exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend The Audio Store, Pune for any serious audio enthusiast looking for genuine advice and a premium shopping experience.

These are a great pick if you love a balanced sound. The best thing about them is the vocals — clear, natural, and full of emotion. You can really feel the singer’s presence without any sharpness or muddiness. Everything just sounds right, especially for long listening sessions.

Great Sound for Beginners, but Type-C Limits Hi-Res
These are the best-sounding IEMs as per my taste... the sound is clean, detailed, and perfectly balanced for both music and gaming. The only problem I encountered is that they just support Lossless and not Hi-Res Lossless on Apple Music, which means the built-in DAC is limited to 48 kHz. I’m new to audiophile gear and don’t know much about the technical details, so it was my mistake for not realizing this earlier. If I had known they don’t support Hi-Res without an external DAC, I would have gone for a 3.5 mm version along with a DAC instead. Unfortunately, there is no option to exchange these Type-C IEMs for a 3.5 mm version at the audio store, so it feels like I’m stuck with these. That said, the overall audio quality is still very enjoyable, and for the price, these IEMs easily outperform many others in the same range.
