This is a review of HZSound HZ-EP001 in-ear headphones. http://penonaudio.com/HZSOUND-HZ-EP001
For those following my headphone reviews, you probably realized by now that quality headphones doesn't have to cost arm'n'leg. That's why I enjoy reviewing budget priced headphones, almost as much as I do some of the better known expensive brand names, and often refer to them as "giant killers" because they sound on par with other headphones that cost at least 2-3 times as much. When I saw Penonaudio listed a pair of new HZ-EP001 headphones from a company I never heard of and priced at $24.90, it really got my attention, and I was interested to find out if they sound as good as they look. Here is what I found.
Arrived in all black box, HZ-EP001 had a quality packaging with some of the familiar design elements from HiFiMAN and VSonic; definitely a first class presentation of the product. Along with headphones, HZSound included a number of accessories such as a set of S/M/L silicone tips, a pair of double-flange tips, a pair of foam tips, a carabiner clip, and a hard shell rectangular headphone case. Though earips were basically generic, I was actually quite impressed with a quality of the case. Headphones itself had a decent build quality and rather a non-traditional round disk shape. One important advantage of such shape is that it doesn't stick out and sits flush with your ear's inner rim, thus making it comfortable to put your head on a pillow while wearing these.
The design has an outer aluminum metal shell with an etched surface and an inner plastic body with an angled nozzle. Such unique shape made it very comfortable to wear these headphones wire down or wire up (though you will need to flip L/R sides for that). The shell has an air port opening on the back and another pinhole one at the base of the nozzle. Both earpieces had a clear L/R marking and also an id bump-dot on the left strain relief, where both strain relieves had a nice flow with a design while protecting wire attachment to the shell. Headphone wires were round and soft, and a little bit thinner before y-splitter, and then thicker going down to a straight gold plated connector. Both connector and y-splitter capsule have a similar design with details matching earpiece outer shell. In addition it has a cable cinch that slides right into y-splitter cavity when not in use. I found very little microphonics contributed by the cable, and also headphones itself provided better than average sound isolation, at least for anatomy of my ear where I prefer a shallow insertion.
They look cool, that's for sure, but what about the sound? HZ-EP001 are warm, smooth, and have a little v-shaped sound signature. Low end extends down to a moderate level of sub-bass with a punchy mid-bass which spills a bit into lower mids, though it doesn't make it bloated but rather adds thickness to a full body sound. Mids are smooth and warm, a bit recessed but still clear. Treble is also smooth with some roll off. Their lack of brightness makes sound less detailed but it still has enough clarity. Soundstage has an average width/depth. Also, I found it to sound good with any source, and amping was not necessary.
Overall, I definitely enjoyed these headphones. Everything from a design and a build quality to an included headphone case has a premium feel above its sub $25 price. Sound signature is not necessary suited for a detailed analytical listening, but has a nice warm, smooth, full body fun sound with a decent amount of bass that works great with EDM, pop, and rock music. And as I mentioned before, these are among few in-ear headphones that I can wear in bed with my head on the pillow without hurting my ears. Definitely a worthy addition to anyone's budget headphone collection!

Lunashops replacement cable for ATH-IM series headphones
This is a review of Lunashops replacement cable for ATH-IMxy series of IEMs. http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=4257
A lot of factors can contribute to sound quality improvement of your headphones. Beside selecting a higher quality source, both audio file and audio player, for example choosing the right eartip is probably one of the most popular mods. Some people experiment with wire up or down fitment or even go to an extreme of modifying earpieces with removal of filters or covering the vent. If you are fortunate to have a pair of headphones with a removable cable - you have another way to improve your sound, to fine tune it's characteristics. Until now, those who purchased recently introduced Audio-Technica ATH-IM series (IM01/02/03/04/50/70) had only a few pricey replacement choices due to unique 2-pin connector used in the design of that cable which is not as common as a standard MMCX connector. Fortunately, Lunashops introduced a series of replacement cables (http://www.lunashops.com/search.php...zZWFyY2hfZW5jb2RlX3RpbWUiO2k6MTQwNjA3MDE4NTt9) ranging from $18 to $40 where $18-$20 ones are designed as a replacement with a more flexible design without annoying stiff memory wire and one even with in-line mic/remote for smartphone control. The more expensive one at $40 is designed not just as a replacement but actually as an enhancement where a more premium silver plated wire material is used to improve sound quality of your ATH headphones. That is a cable I would like to focus on in my review and to share with you what I found.
I have a number of MMCX replacement cables from Lunashops already, and was always pleased with their build quality, though those were $20 models which usually arrived in a generic packaging. This premium model arrived in a neat looking tin can with a clear top display screen, and cable was secured in a small plastic zip bag and cushioned by foam lining inside of the tin can. Out of the box, I was very pleased with a soft clear shielding of the cable and twisted pair of silver plated cables which looks to me like two twisted pairs before y-splitter followed by all 4 wires twisted together after the y-splitter. Y-splitter itself is plastic and somewhat transparent, followed by a clear plastic chin slider. The 3.5mm connector is straight, has a clear strain relief, can be un-screwed to reveal the wire connection, and it's gold plated with a typical TRS (Tip - left, Ring - right, Sleeve - ground) wiring which I verified with multimeter to be connected properly to L/R earpiece connector. Also, for those who are curious, while comparing the wire resistance between original cable and this replacement, I found the value to go down from 0.9 ohm in original cable to 0.6 ohm in replacement - most likely due to silver plating which also improves conductivity of the signal. Furthermore, I measured this replacement cable to be 1.27m long in comparison to a stock 1.2m cable.
Going back to the 2-pin connector header, the one used in Lunashops replacement model is not color coded with Red for "right" side, but it has a very clear L and R letter marking and also a small bump on L side, though it's not really necessary since ATH-IM series asymmetrical design prevents from flipping the sides. Connector itself has a very snappy lock fitment with an identical feel to the original connector. Testing with both IM03 and IM50 models showed a great comfort improvement in fitment over the ear. With original cables it was a major PITA to shape the wire and after putting it back in the case for storage to start all over again re-shaping when you take headphones out again. Now the wire, which is also relatively tangle free, goes easily over the ear and with a help of chin slider feels comfortable and stays secure in place. I found this to be a significant improvement over the stock cable. You can also use silicone earhook guides if necessary.
Of course, the big question is about sound improvement. There is no question about it, you will definitely going to hear the difference. It's not just a subtle improvement, but actually noticeable. I'm sure different people will hear different level of improvement since our hearing sensitivity is not the same, but it will put a smile on your face in either way. IM03/IM50 sound is great to begin with, but with addition of this replacement cable the sound became brighter with more sparkle and improved details across the entire frequency range. This brightness is well controlled without becoming sibilant, and overall gives a better definition to a sound. The most noticeable improvement is probably in low frequency region. I found the attack of the mid-bass punch to be a bit sharper and sub-bass gaining a new level of rumbling texture. Actually, speaking of sub-bass, I found this improvement to be more enjoyable with IM03 but not as much with IM50 where even with original cable it was already pushing the envelope. Also, microphonics was down to minimum. It's all a matter of personal preference and type of music you are listening to, but in my opinion - this replacement cable is definitely a worthy investment for either models of ATH-IM series headphones. Overall, for my own personal taste, this replacement cable will be staying permanently with ATH-IM03.

How do you think this compares to the ATH IM-02 ?
I'm looking for a more flat and accurate sound but detailed

I reviewed both, and ended up keeping IM03. IM02 is tuned to be exactly what you are looking for, analytical/revealing with quality rather than quantity. I prefer more bass and smoother top end, so I went for IM03. You want more detailed sound, IM02 is your answer!
This is a review of Bidenuo G800 in-ear headphone with Android controls. http://dx.com/p/bidenuo-g800-in-ear...-silver-3-5mm-126cm-cable-254398#.Uyzy6rCPL3h
I'm very pleased to see that more and more companies are starting to recognize importance of fully integrated in-line remote dedicated specifically to Android smartphones. Though multi-function control even with iPhone dedicated remote usually works with Android, volume buttons don't. With this particular model of Bidenuo headphones, I was intrigued since it had "for android" indicator on the box. Plus, it looked really cool Here is what I found.
I have reviewed a number of Bidenuo headphones from dx.com in the past, and those always arrived in a nice looking package. Out of the box, I was very impressed with a level of design details and included accessories. First of all, it comes with a neat looking hard shell storage case, oval in shape instead of a typical round. Also, included was a shirt clip and a set of hybrid eartips, much better quality than a typical silicone eartips. Headphones had a flat textured rubbery cable which appeared to be tangle-free. From a distance, the cable kind of looks like a shoelace, actually very original design. 3.5mm headphone connector was straight and gold plated, and also had a decent strain relief. At the other end, you have a similar strain relief connecting cable to earphones inside of a lightweight metal housing. Now, here is something where I have love-hate comment. The diamond cut of these earphones look cool, but it can "rub" you the wrong way depending on the size of your ears. In theory, once you put it in your ear, it should stay there without moving. But if you don't have a good fitment and earbud is moving, that diamond cut finish will not feel as pleasant rubbing against you ear. I personally didn't have a problem with it, but others might do.
Labeled as "for Android", I was able to confirm it's remote working perfectly with my Note 2 where multi-function button single click performed Play/Pause/Call, double-click to Skip Next, triple-click to Skip Back, and long-press to start Google NOW. Also, Volume up/down buttons worked perfectly, which I would expect for HTC, LG, and Sony phones as well. Call sound quality was good. Regarding audio playback, don't expect high audiophile quality for something that cost $17 plus change. But for that price, it sounded pretty good. Bass was punchy (not deep and boomy), mids/treble were clear. For general audio listening and phone control these will do the job fine!
Overall, Bidenuo G800 was a nice set of in-ear headphones with a confirmed full Android controls. For that price, the sound was not bad at all, and they also had a decent build quality. My only concern was with diamond cut exterior finish which might not suite everybody, depending on your ear size and headphone fitment. But in general, they look pretty cool and represent a good value considering included premium hybrid eartips and a protective case.

This is a review of SIDY (BGVP) DGS100 2-way hybrid in-ear headphones. http://penonaudio.com/BGVP-DGS100
My adventure in a land of hybrid in-ear headphones continuous, this time looking into a new offering from SIDY with their latest flagship model DGS100. For someone who just wants to buy a pair of replacement headphones or on a budget to find something that "sounds good", it will not make a difference about a type and a number drivers used in various headphone models. But for those who understand and appreciate a sound quality and have different headphones in their collection, hybrid IEM has been the latest buzz word. Having a flexibility of dynamic driver to deliver strong low frequencies and balanced armature driver for high frequencies opens up a door to a new sound shaping opportunity. Having already a number of dynamic IEMs under their belt, SIDY decided to join the hybrid revolution with their own offering. Here is what I found.
Arrived in a very unique tin box, it was a pleasant change from a traditional headphone packaging. In addition to headphones, inside of the box I found a very impressive collection of accessories. In addition to a quality hard shell storage case, you also get red over the ear wire guides and a collection of 16 (!!!) pairs of eartips. We are talking about a set (S/M/L) of quality Foam eartips, a set of hybrid eartips with red stem (S/M/L), a set of a typical audio-technica narrow bore opening eartips (S/M/L), and another 10 pairs of wide bore opening eartips in gray/white/black colors. I actually found these foam tips to be a lot better than Comply since they are softer and more spongy with less memory effect, goes into your ear faster without a need to wait for a foam to expand. I also found them to provide the best sound isolation and also a more detailed presentation. It all depends on your personal preference and anatomy of your ears, but SIDY definitely provides you with a big variety of eartip to find the one which fits you the best.
The headphones itself have a very basic cylindrical shape, but it's made out of a solid metal material and has a nice black finish. The design revealed a few interesting details. Looking through the nozzle's mesh cover, I was able to see all the way down to a sound port opening which suggests there is no filter insert, and kind of reminded me of their other DM2 model with interchangeable filters where the nozzle itself was a shaped filter. Also, a typical port opening found at the base of the nozzle (common in a lot of headphones) was on the side of the shell facing outward in Left/Right earpieces. Furthermore, there was another port opening on the back of the shell which I found to affect low frequency content as you close and open it with your finger. The cable attachment had a very nice strain relief and clear L/R marking, including a small bump on the Right side. Cable shielding was round, not too thin or too thick, and with enough flexibility to keep it tangle free as well as folded over your ear without a need for included earguides. I was surprised a cable cinch (chin slider) wasn't included, but y-splitter had a nice touch with an individual S/N marking. 3.5mm gold plated connector had a great strain relief and was 270 degree angled for additional comfort. I didn't detect any microphonics while wearing these either wired down or up.
Even so DGS100 might look plain, there is nothing plain about it when it comes to the sound. But I have to warn you, they absolutely require at least 20-30hrs of burn in. This is a first pair of in-ear headphones where I experienced such a drastic change from when I heard them out of the box and throughout first 20hrs of burn in. Out of the box, the mid-bass was overwhelming and upper mids were recessed. Now, 25hrs later - what a difference!!! Starting with a bass, mid-bass definitely settled down in comparison to my initial impression, but it still a dominant element across entire frequency range. Sub-bass is present as well, but it's more of a fill-in layer which supports mid-bass. I feel there is a little bit of mid-bass bleed into lower mids, though bass is still under control while being "on" most of the time. Upper mids are very detailed and smooth, and no longer feel recessed. The only thing I feel it lacking is a bit of clarity.
It took me awhile to put my finger on what's going on until I came across FR curve for DGS100. I personally trust my ears more than any visual graph, but in this case when I saw a sharp dip around 6k region that made sense to me. DGS100 upper mids are warm and smooth, not too bright, which creates a perception of less clarity in comparison to some other brighter IEMs in my collection. The same with treble, it's super detailed, but not as bright. I'm not saying this in a negative sense, it's just a different sound signature. As a matter of fact, upper mids/treble of DGS100 reminds me A LOT of Westone W40 (and we are talking about $500 IEM). Soundstage is actually wider than average, while depth is average. Also, these headphones are not as forgiving when it comes to playing lower bit rate encoded files, and I noticed a difference with 192kbps mp3s.
Overall, in my opinion if you have been waiting to try out a pair of hybrid IEMs and not after a bright analytical sound but rather want a smooth fun sound - these get my high recommendation. I don't want to compare them to other BA only or dynamic only headphones because they are in a different category. Also, their smooth and laid back sound signature makes it more tolerable for extended non-fatigue listening, unlike bright sound of Altone 200. Furthermore, I prefer DGS100 sound signature over AX35 where I found upper mids to be veiled and a bit recessed. If you are on a budget and looking for a single pair of in-ear headphones to invest money into, these might not necessary be the end-game pair. But if you are a headphone enthusiast who understands and values a sound quality and has a collection of headphones with different driver technology - these will be a worthy trophy on your shelf with a great value under $80 (once you sign in to Penonaudio).

This is a review of iDeaUSA AtomicX S204 foldable BT wireless headphones. http://www.ideausa.com/atomic_x, available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Z8PWGNG/
Every week I'm being approached to write different reviews. Often it's by companies I never heard of, most likely re-branded generic products with just a different printed name. I turn down a lot of such requests, but decided to take a chance on iDeaUSA (the name?!?) because I got intrigued looking at the picture of their wireless headphones. It didn't look like any other headphones I've tested before, and that peeked my interested. Let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed a bit!!! Let's me tell you why.
We all know, pictures could be very deceiving, especially on the cover of the packaging box. Regardless of that, the packaging of this AtomicX headphone pair was high quality. Besides a very detailed description, list of accessories, and a tech spec, the box itself was high quality, sturdy built carton with a magnetic flip cover - all together a nice presentation. And once opened, you will find a headphone case with everything inside of it.
Unboxing.

Starting with a case - this is a pure quality EVA hard shell zippered case, nice slim design. When you open the case, you see headphones folded on one side and meshed pocket on the other side with usb and audio cables. Being wireless headphone, it needs usb to micro-usb cable for charging, and also for a dual mode of operation (wireless or wired) - an audio 3.5mm cable. Both cables were of a good quality, especially audio cable which has thicker more durable shielding, in comparison to junk thin cables I found with other headphones.
Accessories.
Obviously, the first thing you notice about the design is that it folds by collapsing inside of the headband. Once folded, the footprint is significantly reduced and you can fit it inside of a slick headphone case. I actually found a lot of things about this headphone to be of a high quality. First of all, headband has a perfect bend radius with a comfortable clamping force. In addition, it is padded all the way around with a nice soft pleather and extra foam padding inside of the headband where it rests on top of your head. Headphones are very light weight with an even distribution of the weight.
The headband height adjustment is precise, and all the hinges are sturdy with a high quality material. The bending part of headband actually has a real aluminum metal surface that looks very premium. Earcups have 360 degree of tilt to adjust comfortably around your ears to fit the shape of your head, and they have a marshmallow-soft earpads. The earpad opening was comfortable for my medium size ears, but for those with large ears it could be right at the threshold. But I think it will still be ok due to a soft cushioning that just going to press on top of your ears.
All the controls are located in the right earcup and very easy to access. At the bottom of earcup you have micro-usb charging port (enabling 14hrs of continuous play!!!), 3.5mm audio port for wired connection, and Mic pinhole port for wireless phone talk. The controls are on the back of the earcup where it's very easy to reach them, including a multifunction Play/Pause/Call button, power led (bi-color blue and red), and volume up/down. The buttons had a solid click action and nothing was rattling or creaking - solid build all around.
Design.
Pair up with my Note 4 was flawless, headphones were recognized right away and connected to my phone and media audio without a problem. Either talking on the phone while wearing these or listening to the music was high quality and I was actually able to use it within 50ft of distance away from my phone (in open space, of course).
According to the spec, this model supports Bluetooth 4.0 and apt-X codec - VERY important in order to maintain high quality fidelity of the sound. Furthermore, it supports all popular BT profiles such as A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, and HFP. Also, very conveniently it could pair up with 2 devices so you can switch, for example, between wireless listening on your tablet and picking up a call on your phone.
Phone pair-up.
Ergonomics, functionality, and comfort of the design is important, but without a good sound quality this package is not going to be complete. Even with support of apt-X, you can still mess up a sound by using sub-par drivers and poor D/A converter.
To my pleasant surprise, iDeaUSA team got it RIGHT!!! This AtomicX S204 model headphones have a very nicely balanced sound with a decent sub-bass extension, great mid-bass punch, warm detailed mids, and crispy non-fatigue extended treble. I really didn't expect them to sound that good. Especially I was very surprised about their soundstage - an average depth and way above average width - a nicely spacious expanded sound.
Overall, it was nice to see a company that introduced a product with an original design that doesn't try to look like another "Beats" pair of headphones. The lightweight comfortable fitment, quality build and slick aluminum design accents, 14hrs battery life, both wired and wireless performance, a premium quality case, and a rather good sound quality makes these headphones a great value under $60. These actually get my high recommendation!
This is a review of the Axgio Sprint bluetooth earphones - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0123KN5TC
During the past years I’ve used many different pairs of sport earphones, but many of the other pairs I’ve tried have been too bulky or been not very convenient to use. The Axgio Sprint really caught my eye as they’re a pair of Bluetooth earphones that are made for sports and other activities, as well as they’re lightweight and use Bluetooth.
So first of all, I like the packaging that these came in as it provides a sneak peak of the actual product and looks really good. On the box there’s a variety of things, such as the specifications of the earphones and more information regarding the features they have. Inside the box the earphones themselves can be found as well as a USB cable, a bunch of silicone and foam ear tips.
After removing the earphones from the actual packaging I must say that I’m rather impressed by how small they’re compared to other alternatives in this price range. They’re much smaller than the M-Pow Swift, and the actual ear pieces fits better in the ears. The battery and Bluetooth chip is inside the remote of the earphones, which is great to see as it reduces the bulkiness.
The earphones themselves fits snug in the ear with the included foam ear tips, and the memory cable is pretty nice as it makes them stay in the ear while running. You simply put the cable over your ear, and then around the back of your neck. I really like this as it's more comfortable than most sport earphones.
When it comes to the actual sound quality I must say that I’m satisfied, as these provide quite good sound for the price tag. They have a punchy bass that’s a bit boosted, but it does not overpower the mids or highs either. The sound is not muddy or so, but for people that want a pair of earphones that sound natural these might not the best choice out there.
So to conclusion time; I’ve got to say that I am very pleased by these earphones as they sound great for the price tag. They also fit very nicely in the ear and comes with many different ear tips, which is great. I definitely recommend these as they’re great!
