[REVIEW] Effect Audio Apollo and Rhea upgrade cable for IEM

Effect Studio is a Singapore based company that specializes on hand made IEM cable replacement for all the major brand of universal and custom IEM. You can buy the cable itself (on either their website or on eBay) and ask them to customize the earpiece plug to fit Westone, Shure, JH Audio, Sennheiser IE8 or UE and there is also a selection of different 3.5mm stereo plug to choose from (some might cost extra). Here we have the US$99 Apollo cable with Shure termination and Yarbo plug and the US$180 Rhea cable with UE termination and Oyaide plug. Both are around 1.15m +/-5cm. You can ask for custom length for extra cost as well.

Another DX50

 ...but not from iBasso. This DX50 is from Astrotec, and it will have a dual BA + single dynamic triple drivers configuration, flat cable and single button mic. No further detail yet except that it will be released this month. I do wish it can look better though.

[UPDATE] Apparently the press release over at erji.net isn't accurate. The DX50 is just a lower end model. The actual triple driver model is still in development.

Double Talent

 

Haven't seen MEElec releasing anything major for quite a while now, but this one looks interesting. It is a dual dynamic drivers called the M-Duo, priced at US$80.

Only Five

A new lower end model is great at putting food at the table, but is JAYS even going to release something worthy of being called flagship?
