I had high hopes for the SOFTEARS S01 CS46L41 Type-C to 3.5mm DAC dongle, but unfortunately, it falls short in several key areas. On iPhones and iPads (with the appropriate adapter), the volume output is extremely low—practically unusable.
Even on Android devices, where compatibility should be better, the performance is mediocre. It lacks the clarity and drive that competitors like Moondrop and FiiO Jade offer at a similar or even lower price point.
For the price, I expected much better sound quality and compatibility. I can’t recommend this product, especially when there are clearly better alternatives available.

Quality is awesome.
This is my first IEM, and coming from Sony MDR 7506 and Airpods Pro i feel this sounds more richer and detailed.
It was great purchase and I'm happy from the output of this one. And as much as i love music , i have specific demands to meet like well balanced mids and highs but also good punchy bass. I'm happy with this purchase and i love it.
This was my first purchase from The Audio Store, and I was a bit hesitant at first, but they proved me wrong! The whole process was seamless, and I even received my order earlier than expected. The IEMs are really good and totally worth the money.
If this is your pick than go for it blindly!!!👌🎧
These are a great pick if you love a balanced sound. The best thing about them is the vocals — clear, natural, and full of emotion. You can really feel the singer’s presence without any sharpness or muddiness. Everything just sounds right, especially for long listening sessions.
Audiocular packaging is premium always give a small pouch which can be very handy.Initially Right side was not working in my KZ Harman target Balanced version. Date Recd 7th Oct 2025! every thing is awesome Love Pritam for being Down to earth.I am going crazy at age 51 with this music world man
Some online product selling giants didn't understand how to package product because it delegate and wants to handle with care and I really appreciate your customer support thank you great product delivery app in reasonable rate
It’s a neat dongle with crisp sounding music, it’s on a brighter side of music
one of the best earbuds in this price range.
As a beginner audiophile I did research on all budget IEMs but this KZ EDC Pro stood out in all reviews as best and most affordable no-nonsense IEM without distortion in sound output that drew my attention to it. And I am glad I made the choice, this deserves every bit of praise for the price & sound output better than my 5000INR TWS from reputed brands, a little bit EQ Tweaks just enhances the experience multifold... Must but for those who looking for affordable yet best sounding wired earphones/IEM. Brilliant build and sound quality for the price. A Must buy on a tight budget, and Thanks to audiostore for delivering package before scheduled delivery time.
Great DAC for the price in terms of build and aesthetic. When paired with a good IEM definitely makes the experience worth investing. Just go for it, must buy for a beginner/intermediate audiophile...!
Easy blind buy for the price. Most recommended set of iems if you're new to the iem community and are looking for something under 5000 rupees. Sounds clean and has a lot of customisation options with app support.
good sound and clear even without the dac and anything haven't tuned anything still clear sound!
After having owned a few kilo-buck IEMs, I was prepared to get something that was insane and probably endgame and rightly so Pritam sir recommended the FIR audio Xenon 6 and thus deep dived into this and I am sure this would be the end game IEM for me.
The XE6 is so wonderfully crafted looks like piece of jewelry and although a large IEM it is very comfortable for me for long sessions.
It sounded good from the start and was really different from the other IEMs. It started to sound even better and grew on to be the best I ever heard after listening to it for longer. I paired with Astell&Kern SP3000T and Hiby rs8 II and with desktop DAC Amps (FiiO K19, Topping D70. A70, Hifiman R2R and Xduoo TA 22) and the immersive, warm, musical and soundstage that filled my head all over. The sub bass is where it stands out the most, but the mids and highs are also so clear and crisp. I havent yet tried to change the atom modules as yet, I am sure this will make the XE6 even more great than that it already is.
The shells in the IEM I were crafted in the US (was crafted in China earlier, but as Trump wanted his MAGA force it had to be made in the US now)
This is definitely end game worthy!!!!
I’ve been using the Moondrop Chu 2 for around 5 months, and I’m really happy with them overall. The size is very good – small, lightweight, and comfortable for long sessions. They fit well in the ears and don’t feel bulky at all.
In terms of sound, they’re excellent for the price. Clear mids, detailed highs, and a balanced tuning that works great for vocals and instruments. They still feel solid and well-built even after months of daily use.
The only drawback is the bass – while it’s clean and controlled, it’s not very strong. If you’re looking for heavy bass, these might not fully satisfy you.
But if you want clarity, balance, and detail in a compact design, the Chu 2 are a fantastic choice.

Really loved it. Pairing it with the FiiO KA3. Some EQ does help for me. Amazing pair.
the unboxing experience is avg, as company doesnot provide any plastic seal that ensures that you are not getting used product. But when it comes to sound quality , bro its in different league . i am using it with a basic pair of headphone RHA MA 390 but the ammount of details and imaging and resolution it is creating with d07 is another level . no white noise no heating nothing . too good.
These IEMs just sound amazing,I can never expect something better than this at this price! 11/10
Best DAC under 1k
Great service. I ordered moondrop chu 2 (analog) , cables with mic and a storage bag for the IEM. The order arrived after just 1 day. Packaging was great, all products were in perfect state, I mean no defects.

Quality is awesome.
Excellent Audio quality with expected frequency response of 51 Hz ~ 20kHz. It is value for money product, as per my understanding.
Great experience with this DAC
This is my first IEM, and coming from Sony MDR 7506 and Airpods Pro i feel this sounds more richer and detailed.
Works out of the box without any issues. The connector and case provided are of good quality. Amazing!
