Best one for starters...
It is my first IEM and its really good. The clarity, the details and the separations are noticeable( if I compare it to my previous tws with the same cost).
Very good
Very good product.
Very subtle and balanced audio output.
Thanks.
Received product in excellent packaging. Satisfactory performance using with mobile and laptop. No significant heating. There is no noise which is the reason I had changed to this DAC from the earlier one.
Good dac, i had previously one 3.5 to c tye converter it was basic with no chip .this dac really draw out the juice from your phones to shake drivers . Nd if u guys have impedance issue you can use equilizer nd see the magic . This dac works well. Nd yes dac is essential to draw out the required Current/power.
V8....Sound...👌✌️👍
Best..👌✌️👍
I am extremely satisfied with EarAudio 3.5mm Male to 4.4mm female adapter cable. The quality of the product is top notch and well made. I am now able to use my 4.4 mm balanced cable with my iems. Recommended!
Review after using it for a few weeks.
The sound quality is really impressive. It is not the absolute best, but one of the best in this budget segment.
The soundstage is wider and instrument separation is really good. I like its natural, linear bass (I am not a basshead). It has smooth, soft, comfortable, and discreet treble (which might not be good for trebleheads). With .flac and LDAC, there is a significant difference. It is good for both male and female voice types.
These might not be the best-sounding, most technical TWS in that budget, but they are good for my use cases.
ANC is good, though it might be improved. Mic quality is good enough, but it sometimes feels a little muffled.
Personally, the diagonal earpieces and oval rubber ear tips fit perfectly. They are comfortable for a long time. Battery life is good for me but not comparable with others; It would be good if there were a feature in the app to see the battery percentage of the case.
Custom and online DSP features are good. However, LDAC can't be used simultaneously with custom DSP and multipoint connections; this should be changed in the next firmware update. Also, sometimes the app feels glitchy and slow.
There is no IP rating mentioned, and the open-lid design is negative.
I might be forgetting something.
While this isn't as much of a "value for money" pick as the Space Travel 2, it is worth it for me because of the sound quality.
My first time buying experience with TheAudioStore is very good
The protective case is made of good quality material and protects the TWS perfectly. The fit is good, but sometimes when taking the buds out, the charging case shifts slightly upward. I put a small piece of paper inside, and now it is perfect.
The texture and colour of leather is good, but it looked washed out because of my phone's camera.
I don't know if it is great value for money, but it provides good protection.
👍
The GK KUNTEN is a highly recommended, low-cost IEM, considered by many to be a "new king" of the ultra-budget audio scene. It is highly regarded for delivering quality sound, good build, and a comfortable listening experience for a very small investment
Upgraded from EDX Pro
