Customer Reviews
Those who are actually like deep bass, Clean Mid & sharp high notes pls go for it.
MSEB & Equaliser both the options will give best output as per your choice.
Go for it.
My previous DAP was a Cayin N3. This is big step up from that. The touch screen is very responsive and UI is smooth, no lags whatsover. Haven't tested the battery backup but the standby time is impressive. This can act as a airplay receiver and it works flawlessly. I am most using it to stream music through hibylink which works great as well. The 3.5 mm output is underpowered and lacks dynamics. Do not have a 4.4 cable so havent been able to test the 4.4 mm output. The screen resolution is pretty mediocre but does the job. Overall I am pretty satisfied with the device. The delivery from TAS was extremely swift and i received the device the very next day that I ordered it.

Let customers speak for us
Good sound
5/5 Mids and Highs
5/5 Well balanced Bass, doesn't overpower the music
5/5 Design look premium and classy
They are quiet heavy and huge
Good
They sound just amazing, I would say that the app a little rough to use. I can vouch they sound amazing. better than most of the tws which are out there in the market. Also, the Online dsp, gives a little edge it you want to tune them, and you can also upload your on DSP. Overall at this price point, It' a 10 on 10 deal.
This is a compact amp that has a clear sound output which can be described as slightly warm. Vocals are clear and midst nice. Works straight out of the box. Balanced xlr input is a big plus. Overall it is good value for the price. Will recommend it to everyone
Really a great product for the price offered using thebuds for the first time and it has exceeded my expectations. The sound is more balancednot a thumping bass but withclear vocals, treble and and a surrounding bass. Also there's someissue in connectivity which I faced at firstbut saw a tutorialon resolving the issue online.
everything is great but would have been even better if it had a mic
Awesome case, providing safety
It’s simply great upgrade from KZ. best output at best price
Had received in a day itself and it’s all that I had expected and more.
Very good sound and bass . Clear vocal and instruments
Fosi GR70 is an efficient amp and works well as a preamp as well as a headphone amp. It drives my hd600 excellently.
Amazing quality
Ordered 5 units and all were awesome
Thank you so much
Great part is that it got delivered very next day
I’m genuinely impressed. The sound quality is exceptional—crisp highs, clear mids, and a bass response that’s just right. It doesn’t overpower the mids or muddy the overall sound, which is a rare balance to strike in this price range.
🎧 Sound Signature: Tuned to the Harman Target with a tasteful bass boost. It adds warmth without sacrificing clarity, making it perfect for everything from vocals to electronic music.
🔊 Bass: Not too high, not too low—just enough to give depth without distortion. It complements the mids beautifully.
🛠️ Build Quality: Solid and premium-feeling. The fit is comfortable for long sessions, and the mic is a handy addition for calls or gaming.
Overall, it’s a fantastic value for the price. If you’re looking for an IEM that delivers refined audio with a touch of bass and excellent build quality, this one’s a winner.
Best among its price range. I think it's best value for money till 15k. And best overall sound quality under 10k. It's complete package. This is my first purchase before this, I used Sony WF-1000XM4 earbuds. This is gonna kill to its value for that impressive sound quality.
