Overview
DX120. The new addition to the iBasso
portable player's line priced at $300. A new design featuring Type-C USB,
coaxial and 2.5mm balanced connections, with DAC support as well. It may skip all
the cool add-ons such as Bluetooth wireless playback or WiFi streaming, but
brings a nice battery performance that reaches up to ~16 hours. Solid Mango OS
interface and excellent touch screen response, and with just a simple goal,
pure sound quality that surely delivers.

Lear Kaleido
Review: Lear Kaleido - Triple Hybrid (Universal fit)
Overview
The
LUF-Kaleido (or Kaleido, in short) is one of the newer models from Lear, well known
Hong Kong based audio company. A company that has been in the portable audio
market for years offering a nice variety of products, from in-ear sets (both
universal and custom fit), cables and amplifiers. The Kaleido uses the rather
popular triple hybrid setup of one dynamic and two balanced armature drivers,
with a less standard design which is also customizable in color and faceplate
options. A nice looking earphone that doesn’t compromise much with the sound
bringing a warm, rich and smooth presentation which is fun to listen.

IEM model of the new Accutone higher line. Featuring a hybrid dual setup of a 10mm
dynamic and a single Knowles BA (WBFK). With a fixed over-ear design in a
strong red color and standard detachable MMCX cables. Powerful and warm sound
