Punch Audio Martilo IEM – Planar + BA + DD Hybrid Hi-Fi Basshead Earphones
The Punch Audio Martilo IEM is a powerhouse designed for audiophiles and bass lovers alike. With its unique 5-driver hybrid setup—featuring 1 planar driver, 2 Knowles balanced armatures, and 2 dynamic drivers—the Martilo delivers deep immersive bass, crystal-clear mids, and ultra-detailed treble for a truly high-fidelity experience.
Pure Bass Mania
If you’re a basshead, the Martilo is built for you. With a 14±1dB sub-bass shelf, it delivers thunderous low-end impact and punchy kickbass that you can feel. Thanks to its carefully engineered 200Hz crossover, bass notes remain tight, textured, and controlled—avoiding any muddiness or bloat.
Planar Precision & Detail Retrieval
Equipped with a custom planar magnetic driver, the Martilo reproduces treble frequencies with speed, resolution, and airiness that standard drivers can’t match. This ensures incredible micro-detail retrieval, extended treble sparkle, and a wide sense of space for an immersive listening experience.
Studio-Grade Accuracy
The dual Knowles RDE balanced armature drivers ensure a natural, distortion-free midrange with lifelike timbre and tonal accuracy. Vocals and instruments sound true-to-life, making the Martilo a perfect choice for both critical listening and pure musical enjoyment.
Tonal Balance with Extra Bass
Despite its powerful low-end, the Martilo maintains a balanced sound signature using a three-way crossover network and independent sound tubes. The mids stay clean and natural, while the treble offers smooth articulation and effortless detail—creating a harmonious blend of warmth and precision.
Handcrafted Excellence
Each Martilo is hand-assembled with precision, ensuring top-tier craftsmanship and durability. Every driver is carefully matched for consistent performance, reflecting Punch Audio’s dedication to premium-quality earphones built to last.
Custom Interchangeable Cable
The Martilo comes with a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable system, giving you the flexibility to upgrade or swap cables based on your preference—whether for balanced outputs, portable setups, or custom aesthetics.

TRUSTED BY OVER 60K+ MUSIC ENTHUSIASTS
Let customers speak for us
Good for:
>Vocal dominated tracks (general bollywood songs)
>Indian classical in vocal. string and wind instruments, acoustic guitars.
> Western classical focused on Piano, violin and cellos (e.g. Ludovico Einaudi, Lang Lang)
Need a little twigs in eq:
> Female vocal may need 2-3 db boost in at around 2k region.
> Old tracks designed for tapes and cassettes generally has treble boosted in default. Hence a 1-2 db pull down in 8k &16k band makes it more enjoyable (e.g track - Nahi samne from movie Taal)
Not good for:
> Heavy rock and metals that demands more throbbing base.
> Heavy electric guitars mainly power chords & overdrive base guitars sounds muddy.
> Lacks wide sound stage required for large and dynamic orchestral pieces. Like cornfield chase by Hans zimmer, Nostalgia by Yanni
> Hip-hop and Electronic tracks lacks the attacks and punchiness
VERDICT:
> Deep and tight base, buttery soft mids and well defined and perfectly rolled out treble that doesn't heart your ears after a while.
>Go for it if you are a bollywood song lover. You can't get anything better, at least at this price brakets.
> Shines well with Sigma-delta dacs but feels bit too warm for r2r Dacs. Although some people can prefer that. But do not use it with a very powerful amp. Personally I felt opamp like MAX97220 is more than enough.
> Base is deep and tight. So do not buy this if you want thumpy base.
> Not a flat responding iem. So do not consider it if you want an analytical piece. > Choose it if you are looking for long listening sessions with deep imotional attachment rather than analytical detailing.
I've been using this IEM for a couple of days now, and compared to the Moondrop CHU II, the treble feels noticeably improved.
Majestic sounding IEMs worth every penny
Good
best dac ever used the sound is incredibly good amazing the black colour is currently on top
Love it! My swimming sessions have become much more enjoyable and consistent. I also love listening to audiobooks and retro songs on these when not in water! Good product for a healthy lifestyle
KZ Duonic ka sound sach me bhut acha hai aur iski overall quality kamal ki hai. planar driver hone ki wajah se clarity next level milti hai. Bass tight hai aur instrument separation bhi bohot clear hai. Isme music suno bohot acha experience hota hai . Highly recommended if you love high-resolution audio!
It just works amazing with all of my audio products
These my first iems using it from last 2 months very nice very balanced sound
A beautiful pair of iems at this price range. Balanced sound, but engaging listening. Also good for monitoring.
Really good DAC and perfect for apple devices as it does not reduce the volume like few other DACs..and very good delivery experience from TAS..👍🏻
One of the best iem in terms of balanced sound with slight new meta tuning. Vocals come clean with controlled bass. (Maybe sub bass could be a bit more but it's okay). Music separation is top notch in its class. Detail retrieval is also class leading. This is the point of diminishing returns. For many this could be the end game iem for sure.
Various reviews on the net created a lot of desire and interest to possess this iem.
Hitherto iv been buying audio gear from some other website who did not have this iem in stock.
Thought of buying from Audiostore.
I spoke to Mr Pritam and finalised the deal. Personal interactions do add up to the textual.content you gather from the net. Delivery was exactly as promised.
My first impression of the iem is Spectacular sound reproduction!!!
Songs thatIheardliterallyfelt like being played in front of me.
Bass sufficiently good enough for every listener except bassheads. Of course bassheads would lose considerable amount of ther sonic capabilities.
Soundstage wide and imaging is excellent. Inspite of good bass every instrument is distinctly clear and precise.
Only request for Audiostore is to include other leading brands like Fatfreq, Fiio, Ibasso etc.
My honest review these are best and luxury looking IEMS and I love them and they fit in my ear perfectly for me and I love them
This IEM sound really good for everyday listening. The Bass has a nice punch,Vocals come through clear and the overall sound feels balanced and enjoyable.They’re comfortable to wear for long periods and block out a decent amount of outside noise.Easy to carry around as it’s comes with a pouch and Great for Music,Videos.Definitely worth it for the price, and specifically thanks for audiostore team.❤️❤️.
