Let customers speak for us
from 5582 reviewsIt was such a great MP3 player for the price. There was enough space as 32 GB memory card was provided. Also, we can read e-books in text format. It's so convenient during travel. FM radio is also present. Lot's of features in that small gadget ❤️.

The ear tips are good for starters and do have variety so I'm sure you'll find something comfortable. It can revive your interest in your old IEM's don't expect much as they are just there to deliver comfort to your ears.
New experience with the iem
Amazing sound very addictive ear phones might have been perfect if they came with c type connector
Build quality and audio clarity

Kudos to makers/seller for making it to available.
Purest form of audio hearing experience with this cable.
Happy with the purchase.

The build quality of this cable is top-notch. I’m using it with my HD560S connected to a laptop via Apple Music, and the difference is noticeable. The bass feels tighter and especially welcome improvement for openback headphones and there's a clear boost in instrument separation and overall clarity. Upgrading to a balanced connection has definitely proven to be a worth while decision.

The Hisenior Mega5EST is a reference-quality IEM tuned with taste and subtlety. It doesn't shout for attention but rather invites you to listen deeper. If you're looking for an IEM that balances technical excellence with musical emotion, this one is a rare gem in the hybrid space. A true “listen for hours, forget the gear” experience.

This is the best MP3 player you can get for this price.

I'm new to the world of IEMs and this one was bought to try how it feels. Trust me, it won't disappoint you. Double the value compared to headphones of the same rate.

Budget king SMSL RAW MDA1. Very versatile music dac & headphone amp. Fully satisfied. Being an audiophile I was searching for best budget one got this from The audio store. Thanks for timely delivery. Nothing can match it at this price range period.

Works well with my Moto Edge 50 Pro. Other DAC's would have a lot of interference and static, the Moondrop Echo A has none. Audio is clear and the connector does not heat up at all. Battery life isn't impacted as well.
The build quality is excellent, cable is flexible and will fit in any iem carry case as well.

This is a great product with excellent sound quality. The bass is impressive and it's worth the money.

Beautiful and heavy duty balanced cable. Adds a weight to the music's bass i.e. tighter bass response.
Good product excellent sound well packed but delivery was delayed by two days.otherwise everything good.

Combo of cx31993 max97220 chip is more than sufficient to drive any iems
