5-driver portable sound just reached a higher standard with the FiR Audio Krypton 5. This cutting-edge in-ear monitor features high-quality acoustic technology that handles each note, instrument and vocals with delicacy and care. With impactful bass and crystal-clear sound, enjoy audiophile-grade audio today.

For Outstanding Performances
Experience outstanding clarity with the FiR Audio Krypton 5. This IEM features high-end technical expertise that offers a textured presentation with incredible instrument separation. The machined aluminium shell with a sapphire glass faceplate encompasses 4 balanced armature drivers and a 10mm dynamic driver.

Deeper than the Ocean
Regular IEMs usually lack depth as they deliver only half the sound. In a natural open-ear environment, the sound is heard in two ways - air conduction and bone conduction. Air conduction is the sound you hear with your eardrums. Bone conduction is the conduction of sound through the bones in your head as it reaches the inner ear (cochlea). Hybrid conduction mixes both. Like the rest of the Frontier Series, the Krypton 5 comes in Universal-Fit and Custom-Fit models too.

Feel the Bass
The FiR Audio Krypton 5 features cutting-edge Kinetic Bass technology. An open and ported 10mm dynamic driver is optimised to face the IEM shell’s exterior allowing lower frequencies to be transmitted directly to the ear cartilage and surrounding area. These frequencies are converted to kinetic energy that reaches the inner ear via bone conduction. This enhances the bass with an immersive audio experience and off-the-charts bass extension.

Open Acoustics System for an Open Sound
Traditional IEMs use a sound tube with the drivers to carry the sound to the canal stem. However, this creates unwanted resonances and a closed-in, stuffy sound. The FiR Audio Krypton 5 is designed with an Open Acoustics System comprising Open Drivers, a Sound Reactor and Sound Reflector for an incredible audio experience.

Goodbye Tubes, Hello High-End Acoustics
By not using sound tubes, the Open Drivers allow sound to flow directly into the Sound Reactor and in turn the ear canal. This ensures a wider soundstage with clear, natural audio. The Sound Reactor chamber shapes the sound coming from the drivers using natural acoustics instead of the dampers and filters used in traditional IEMs. The Sound Reflector directs the high frequencies into the ear canal for extended, smooth and airy treble.

No Pressure, Just Music
An Air Transferring Open Module reduces the pressure that builds up in a sealed ear canal. This reduces fatigue for long listening sessions. The ATOM Venting Technology is instrumental in protecting your hearing while being easy to swap for various levels of bass and noise isolation.

Flexes a Rigid Build
The Krypton 5 uses cutting-edge proprietary Rigid technologies for better reliability and durability. The 2-pin connector has been tested for 1,000 seamless connections. It easily fits into the quadrant socket design on the 3D printed shell that’s 20% thicker than the industry average for better durability. A snap screen i.e. an acoustically transparent mesh screen prevents debris from entering the canal stem.

Phenomenal Sub bass with great imaging

This iem is very versatile in some songs/music it may sounds as very bassy but in other it sounds very balanced and thick sounding.
Sub bass is so great and surrounding when listening to Interstellar - mountains theme, the sub bass is just so big and surrounding, All GOT music sounds great with very good depth and details.
For female vocals its not very forward but not very recessed either but sound very detailed and male vocals sounds great and really very detailed and seperated from rest of the music.

Imaging is fantastic with good depth it feels 3d and very well seperation.

Fitting is fantastic i used for hours and never felt any pain and with variation i start feeling pain after an hour never felt any discomfort or pain with kr5 only issue is the part where the wire connects to iem that is the only issue with fitting.

Overall great sounding iem, thick sounding but with good details and really great imaging.

Thankyou The Audio Store for great support.

Excellent

Long term review for KR5... a new benchmark

I wanted to write this review after spending some valuable time with the KR5. I've spent the last eight months researching this product, and here's what I think about it:

I couldn't believe my ears when I heard this product for the first time (after 100 hours of burn-in). The reaction is utterly silent and speechless. The impact, clarity, and—most importantly—the sensation of hearing the bass in your mind as well as in your ears cannot be adequately described using my vernacular. This is a sensation that can only be felt, not explained. I've heard a number of IEMs, but after hearing this, I don't believe I'll be able to appreciate the bass on any of them.

My collection includes practically all models from 64 Audio, Sennheiser, Campfire Audio, Moondrop, Final Audio, and the majority of the top-rated Chi-Fi IEMs. I doubt I'll ever appreciate the bass on any of them anymore.

At first, it may feel like there is too much bass, but the more time you spend on this product, the more you realise that this jewel shines in all aspect of hi-fidelity music.

Oh my goodness, I was shocked to experience a soundscape that rivalled many good quality open-back headphones. There are ver few IEMs that can trade blows with KR5. The soundstage is displayed in 3D rather than with a broad left-right separation. The same is true for layering and retrieving details.

Finally, I'd want to thank Pritam for recommending this product to me. My advice to my peers is that if he advises anything, buy it without hesitation; you won't be sorry, because he doesn't generally recommend a lot of items. As is customary, the package and shipping are both on time and flawless.

Thanks for the review! We're glad that you like FiR Audio Kr5.

Shanling M8T Flagship Dual Tube Portable Hi-Res Digital Audio Player

V.S.

Time Spent with this DAP is more than 50 days, used many IEMs from Budget range to high end.

OBSERVATION & EXPERIENCE SO FAR.

- Wide soundstage, it's creating a spacious listening experience.
- Smooth and refined sound, with good bass & trebles. I liked it.
- little high Volume doesn't hurt ears because of spaciousness which this DAP creates.
- Main unique point is Vocals & Instruments separation, it's best.
- So far, I noticed Battery back up is really good. Will check it over time and provide feedback.
- Does not get warm that too after using for hours.
- Best software & Shanling Music app, it's very fast ( I use 1TB fully loaded Micro SD card.)

Please Note - Little more care is needed while handling as it has Glass tubes. Again it's unique offering & tubes makes music more enjoyable.

CONS-
1. Charging time ( it will get solve by software updates in future, Brand has co
nfirmed it in their post)
2. Only one colour option is available from Brand.
3. Some settings currently not present, Brand may add in future updates ( DSD gain Compensation, PEQ, MSEB, Night light short cut in quick pannel)

CONCLUSION-
a. Highly recommend those who want detailed & immersive experience.
b. THREE IN ONE- One DAP but three modes, all three sounds differently. One mode Transistor (without Tubes) and two Tube modes (Triode & Ultra- linear).

Happy with the purchase.

Sterdy & beautiful cable. I am using it with Hidiz MP145 Planner Magnetic IEM. It add details to music over stock cable. Makes all aspect of sound quality better.

HIDIZS MP145 Ultra-large Planar Magnetic IEM

V.S.

Must have IEM for enjoying details of Music/songs.

I am writing review after One month regularly uses with my two DAP - Shanling M8t, Hiby R4.

POSITIVES-
1. Best Soundstage
2. Balanced sound
3. Musical & Makes music more enjoyable to ears.
4. No fatigue despite of metal construct.
5. Weight distribution is really good.
6. Largest Magnetic planner in the Category.
7. Details & instruments separation at best.

CONS-
1. Small ears may face challenge. Plz contact team ATS before purchase. Normal ear size, No issues with fit & long usage.
2. Stock cable is good but doesn't suit this IEM.
I am using this with Divinus Auram cable, which goes really well with this by appearance as well as by performance.

CONCLUSION-
1. Very very happy with the purchase. It's my main IEM in daily music journey.

2. My suggestion is Music enthusiast must have atleast one 'Planner Magnetic IEM', believe me I found that the the songs which I am listening since decades are sounding differently with some more details with this IEM.

Perfect Product

The KZ Castor is an excellent choice for budget audiophiles. It delivers superb sound quality that rivals much more expensive headphones, with clear highs, rich mids, and deep bass. The build quality is solid, offering both durability and comfort for long listening sessions. At its price, it’s a fantastic value, outperforming many premium options. Highly recommended!

i think it's a great choice for someone who's just starting with the "iem" audiophile thing and it sounds good pretty good for the price range, it's sound clear and crisp, the bass is a little on the lower side but nonetheless great product if you are just starting, oh and yes the delivery was fast got it in a day.

The Budget King!

Lets get to the point, its the best budget IEM!

I have been in the IEM space for more than 6 months and I was looking for a daily driver that can handle rough use, and then Pritam Sir suggested me 7Hz G1. And it failed to disappoint me!

A nice high quality well built iem, with one of the best ergonomic design, and a proper sound isolation with tons of tip to choose from.

The iem is well tuned with proper instrument seperation and clarity, warm tuning with perfect bass and excellent soundstage compared to other budget IEMs.

If you are new to yo IEM and want to buy your first IEM, blindly go with this! Trust me you would not regret! For 3.2k, its a steal deal!

(Pro Tip: Always listen to Pritam Sir's suggestions. He is the G.O.A.T)

Service/IEM Review

We had an amazing experience at The Audio Store. Pritam, the shop expert, was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He patiently guided us through the world of in-ear monitors, explaining all the details and helping us understand what would work best for our band, Rhythm Freak. He suggested options that perfectly matched both our budget and our musical needs, making sure we got the best value without compromising on quality. Thanks to his expertise, we walked out confident and satisfied with our purchase. Highly recommend this store to any musician looking for top-notch gear and excellent service

Single DD IEM Benchmark

Twilight from Soft Ears seems to me like a benchmark for single DD IEMs. The solid metal craftsmanship is commendable and when it comes to the sound, tonality, song signature and quality is presently benchmark for Single DD IEMs, may be rivalled by the Elder turii ti, which cost 3x of this.
