7Hz x Crinacle Salnotes Dioko HiFi 14.6mm Planar Diaphragm Driver In Ear Earphone IEMs with CNC Aviation-grade Aluminum Case, Detachable 4-Core Litz OCC Copper Cable for Audiophile Musician Studio

Been using these IEMs for the past 2 months and have really enjoyed them. Compared to my previous Ikko OH10s I found these to be clearer and more detailed in terms of resolution, the OH10s had a wider soundstage and a punchier and more voluminous bass, but the Diokos have better detail retrieval and a bit darker and more accurate tonality. My main gripes with the Diokos is that the bass can lack presence and the casings are a bit large and bulky compared to most IEMs, they fit my medium-large ears just fine but I imagine that they may be a bit uncomfortable if you have very small ears. There also isn't a lot of isolation so for me these are mainly an indoors listening IEM. I think that currently for under £100, there are not many IEMs which are capable of matching the Diokos in terms of the price to performance ratio. For the price it's hard to go wrong with these, IEMs can always subjective in terms of sound quality but I think most people will find aspects of the Dioko that they'll like.

Lacking a bit in bass, but fully makes up for in higher pitch sounds and sound qaulity in general. Using it for gaming is amazing, but the cable does slightly get in the way sometimes, but this will vary from person to person. It's cost effective compared to most gaming headsets and better sound quality than most headsets. Very lightweight and comfortable in the ears while gaming for hours (pick the correct earbuds to match your ears size). They have a nice sleek look to them, while being compact.

Fit is ok to good, might not suit small ears though... Hugley detailed, I didn't find upper mids or treble too sharp or fatiguing.. Bass is fast and clean but a little light on mid bass which is very evident. Case and cable are top notch.. Overal really like this set and good bang for buck.. Journey into planars has started for me, next is Timeless, S12 and the Tangzu...

Great sound, fairly neutral and excellent value for money. I use these for work calls and music all day. Comfortable in the ear for all day use and come with a variety of ear tips. I would buy these again.

I have several DAP's, IEM's and headphones. I wanted to try magnetic planar's, but didn't want to spend too much trying out the technology. I'd done quite a bit of research and these were rated well. They come in a well made case that's a little too big but is a welcome addition. The issue I've had with over ear IEM's is both a faff putting them in my ears as well as comfort. These are pretty good in that respect, I did have to experiment with the silicone plugs to get a good seal. Having a lot of experience with dynamic drivers I found these very clear throughout the dynamic range. Some have complained about extended low end, I didn't find this myself, the fit of plugs will make a difference so experiment to get the the best that works for you. The build quality seems very good for the price point, I think these will look good for a while, time will tell whether they stand up over time. Initial impressions are very positive with solid build and and very clear balanced sound.

I had high expectations for these earbuds as I have a set of £20 Chinese buds which I upgraded with a ballanced cable for use with my Cowon Plenue D2, Fiio BTR3K and Fiio BTR7 and they are stunning! These buds are too short and don't reach enough into my left ear and would probably need another mm or so extension to grip in properly (for some reason the right ear is fine - I must be lopeared or sommat!) They are (interestingly) too bright for me and artefact with the letter s quite badly i.e. listening to Red Rain on SO "Red rain isss pouring down all over me". Most of the music I lissssten to is uncompresed and I thought this could be LDAC knocking a 1440 kbs stream down to 900 (compresion defect) so I listened to same on the Cowon with no bluetooth links and it's still there and you can't unhear it! Adding bass sounds odd (i.e. poweramp) and causes distortion as the bass is fine already i.e. these can do bass but are still bright. The sound is mechanical and unmusical (bit better if I push the left ear in further (little dig lol) but still lacks warmth) - Actually reminds me of the B&W stand down in the cellar in Bristol when they introduce the latest hewn from solid block of Titanium speaker (no humanity in it) - Go next door to the KEF stand and listen to a bit of Mahogany coated chip-board sounds way better IMHO (subjective as ~ I know) The detail is good until the music gets busy (higher frequencies) and then it gets confused and all you hear is mush. My guess is the planar driver simply isn't responsive enough to accurately reproduce the detail in thrash. Probably Ok if you don't listen to any Queens Of The Stonage or Royal Blood. There is a slider (after-thought bit of plastic pipe) which allows you to lock the cable under your chin. Mine was stuck on arrival and jagged as though it had been cut with a hacksaw. Inniially I couldn't move it / took some time to free up. Build is superb. Comfort isn't good for me as I'm continually pushing the left ear in which gets quite uncomfortable. Edit: Bought some bigger foam tips which made the sound a little better. Still no good for Adam F - "Listen Here" where the bass should be resonating your brains. However, they do (somewhat suprisingly given the B&W comment above) a very good job with Norah Jones - "Come Away With Me" - Benefitting from the musical simplicity they sound really quite analogue although, as mentioned, still a tad bright.

So coming to this as a non-audiophile person (but probably slightly more interested in sound quality than the average joe), I'm very happy with these. They fit in the ear well and has a sound that I like. Do with that what you will.

They are lacking low end bass, but strong amounts of sub bass. The rest of the tuning is fabulous. They don't represent music naturally, but they are very analytical, if only there was bass/mid bass. Odd iems, I love them, but bit of a novelty. Latest news, was contacted by linsoul who contacted me and offered me 20% refund to pay for lack of bass. Awesome company. Thank you.
