EarAcoustic STA Pro 2DD IEM

These are great, every element of a song is well balanced. However, that balance is a double-edged sword, as it lacks bass. So, if you're looking for a strong base signature, you might want to choose something else or use an equalizer, which is what i'm doing.

This is a solid cable, which delivers stunning sound. I use this cable to connect my Hifiman EF400 to Fiio K15. This is a major upgrade to the sound (as compared to the two standalone).

I bought Cadenza as my first IEMs, before buying these I researched a lot about every kind in this budget I could go for, I streched and bought these as something which sounds, harmonious, smooth and comfortable for long sessions, even then the details and the sound still puts me in awe beating any earbuds and in ear sound system I have ever tried.

One of the best IEM.

EarAcoustic STA-Hi End Series IEM is too warmform me which is my sound signature. Beryllium driver tuned so fantastic. When was received this never go off from my ears to 4 hrs. I have so many brands and so many chifi IEMs used but this EarAcoustic STA-Hi End Series IEM is totally blowned me away. That's why this EarAcoustic STA-Hi End Series IEM is highly recommended. Thanks once againMr Pritam Ji for suggesting me so wonderful IEM in audio library collection.

The product came with all the accessories it should have, the box wasn't damaged at all and delivery was quick. It only took 2 days to be delivered and came with good enough packaging.

Overall, Very satisfied by theaudiostore. While this was my first time buying from them, It definitely won't be the last.

When I was a kid, somewhere around 2005–2007, I was gifted a Sony cassette Walkman. I was too young to care about model numbers or sound signatures. I just knew that pressing play felt important. That Walkman is gone now. Probably sacrificed to the great black hole where old chargers, socks, and childhood joy go to die. But the want never left.
So years later, I did what any emotionally stable adult does. I bought a Walkman again. This time, the Sony NW-A306. And no, this is not nostalgia cosplay. This is something else.

-> A Small Device With Strong Opinions:

The NW-A306 looks like a cute mini smartphone that went on a digital detox retreat. No camera. No speaker. No SIM. No “bro just one notification”. It exists only for music and has zero interest in your productivity apps or reels.
Physically, it feels solid and intentional. Buttons still exist. Sony clearly assumes you might listen to music without staring at a screen like it owes you money.

-> Android, But With Discipline:

It runs Android 14 and yes, streaming apps work. YouTube, YouTube Music, Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, ... etc all fine. But here’s the thing, you can choose how modern you want it to be.
With Google services running, I casually listened for about 6 to 7 hours and still stayed under 60 percent battery usage. That’s respectable. Disable Google services and background nonsense, and suddenly the battery life becomes “arre yeh toh chale hi ja raha hai” level good.
Sony didn’t brute-force anything. This device feels tuned, not overpowered.

-> Sound - Sony Being Sony:

Let’s clear this upfront. Walkman is the legacy on which the iPod later thrived. Apple polished the idea. Sony invented the feeling.
And yes, it is Sony, so bass exists. No question about that.
The bass here is not the shaadi DJ type that enters before the song does. It is controlled, confident, and supportive. With KZ ZAS and Sony XM4s, the sound is clean, warm when needed, detailed when it matters, and never tiring.
As a USB DAC, this thing is frankly ridiculous for its size. Plug it into a PC and it behaves like a serious audio device pretending to be small for fun. Stable, clean, no tantrums.
This is not five-minute wow sound. This is “ab bas ek album aur” sound.

-> Local Music and the Joy of Making Things Difficult:

Now comes the part streaming apps will not like.
Yes, we have everything. Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon, Qobuz, YouTube. Music is everywhere. And somehow, nothing sticks.
Algorithms keep suggesting. You keep skipping. Half the time you don’t even remember what you listened to two hours ago. Music becomes vibe. Background. White noise with feelings.
Owning music changes behaviour.
Ripping CDs into FLAC, fixing metadata, web scraping album art, organizing albums. This is effort. And effort creates attention. You listen to albums. You read lyrics. You notice production. You sit still.
Sony Music Center on Windows actually helps instead of testing your patience. Metadata, album art, even 12-tone analysis. Organizing music feels intentional, not like punishment for liking files.
The NW-A306 makes music feel yours. Not rented. Not borrowed. Yours.
Ironically, it uses modern tech to make things slightly complicated on purpose, so listening becomes simple again.

-> So Why Does This Exist?

The NW-A306 is not trying to replace your phone. It is reminding you why music once deserved its own device.
It is focused. It is disciplined. It does not beg for attention. And that is rare now.
If you treat music as something to truly listen to and not just something playing while you scroll, this Walkman makes complete sense. Emotionally. Practically. Logically.
Also, it feels really good to own your music again. Like, irrationally good.
Some loops are worth closing.

There is no hissing sound with Kefine Klean iem

It's really a good beginner iem who qre comes into the iem first time

From perspective the wide bore tips were very flat in term of eq, normal bore and silicon tips performanced the best

Alleviated my qualms about wax entering the vents of the softears volume s.

Would recommend, works as advertised.

I picked up the Xenns Tea Pro from The Audio Store a couple of months ago, and after using them daily, I feel ready to share my thoughts.

First off, huge shoutout to The Audio Store team in Pune. The buying experience was smooth, and they were super helpful with my queries. It’s always reassuring to buy from folks who actually understand the gear they sell.

As for the Tea Pros—they are special. I’ve had them for a while now, so the "new toy" excitement has settled, but I’m still reaching for them every single day. The fit is incredibly comfortable for my ears, even during long listening sessions.

Sound-wise, they have that magic "Tea" DNA but feel more evolved. The vocals are lush and front-and-center, which makes tracks feel intimate. The bass has a solid, authoritative punch without bleeding into the mids, and the treble is detailed but smooth—I’ve never felt any fatigue, even after hours of use. The soundstage is holographic; you can really pinpoint where every instrument is coming from.

If you’re on the fence, just go for it. They have been a fantastic upgrade for my setup.
