INTRODUCTION
Hello Everyone welcome to my Review. Today we will have the Musehifi Power, This is my first time with the brand. This set is a new experience for me. Now, let’s start this review with my exciting emotions and take,
Background about me and personal taste in music.
I am a student and currently a hobbyist in the world of audio. When it comes to my sound library. I am more into anime songs and jpop artists (but not all jpop artists). To all my fellow anime fans, even otaku or weeb expect me to put anime references in my reviews by using anime music. The MUSEHIFI POWER somewhat reminds me of Megalo Box.
Personal Sound Preference
Neutral balanced with an emphasis in the mids. The MUSEHIFI POWER somewhat provides some of the traits. Since this is a Plannar setup please bear with my review since I don’t have that great source to drive this plannar.
Disclaimers.
I would like to thank Sir Kent and Levi, for giving me an opportunity to Try this pair.
We have different audio perspective and beliefs
I am a hobbyist and budget reviewer so expect that my take are based on my budget setup
All my reviews are my own, I didn’t gain any monetary reward in this review.
Reasons to buy these Pair
- For me, this plannar needs only minimal power but even if it needs minimal power, it still demands power. In the title, I say Drive It Up which means it can even sound properly or better with power sources.
- For me, this is U-Shape but it can somewhat handle some genres that I listen to.
- Great bass performance it has that punch and texture that I like.
- Package and freebies. like a set of eartips and cleaning brushes, there are of high quality.
- The design looks like butterscotch(Subjective)
- Decent Cable
- Decent Technical aspect
Reasons to avoid these Pair
- Treble sensitives might find these set unpleasant. Since this has an upper mid peak.
- Smartphones with low-quality DAC implementation or AMP. The sound output will be not, that great. Planar IEMS needs power but in a good implementation.
- Huge bulky shell and might be uncomfortable to some ears.
- in some tracks, it can sound too peaky and piercing in the ears.
- needs some refinement in the treble(Subjective).
Sound Signature
The sound of this pair has a U-Shape sound. This has more emphasis on the bass and treble sections of the spectrum.
Package
inside the box is the following
- Two sets of Eartips
- Case/Pouch
- Cleaning Brush
- paper for instructions and warranty
- 4-core cable with imported high purity single crystal copper wire
- The Iem itself
Eartips
The eartips included in the box are great high-quality eartips. I didn’t use the eartips since I used my personal eartips which are the kbear-07 eartips.
Cable
The cable is made out of imported high-purity single crystal copper wire. So in general saying, it has a stock cable made out of copper. It has a 2-pin connector pin.
Lows/bass
The most prominent in the audio spectrum. Since I love anime and Jpop The vibes of the Lows are very engaging it has the punch and speed that I want. It has a great Sub-bass rumble. In the “track Yona Yona Journey / TAKU INOUE & Mori Calliope” I can hear how the sub-bass attacks and slaps. In terms of Mid-bass, it has that texture but has a weak bass punch and kick.
Midrange
I will explain it in Vocals, Instruments, and overall presentation. The female vocals have more extension compared to the male vocals. Both Vocals are evident in the track. The instruments in this pair are good it sounds organic. Violin strings sound realistic. Guitar has sparkle even acoustics has it also. The overall presentation of the mids is leaning on forwarding.
Treble
Personally, I like this part of the audio spectrum. It has upper mids extension making it too peaky in some music genres. For treble-sensitive people out there it might hurt your precious ears. it has a hint of sibilance, but only very minimal it depends on the quality of the track and the production behind it. I like how they extend the Highs it has a feel of Hi-Fi audio Since in detail it shows both macro and micro.
OVERALL TECHNICALITIES
So technical aspects this is the part that I also want in my Iem. Now, let’s break it up, shall we? Let’s start with Soundstage, The stage has above-average wideness and spacing. The imaging is your typical Stereo setup. Stereo is a type of audio channel that consists of two channels. In terms of the placement of vocals and instruments in the Stereo Setup. As a former Violinist, I am having a hard time locating the vocals and instruments in some tracks.
DRIVABILITY
To the people that will buy this pair. and The source is only A Phone with no Decent Dac or Audio Dac implementation. Then Don’t Buy it, except for the LG V Series and Some LG G Series. I tried this pair with my OPPO A95 and the Result was A bloody Mess(Gordon Ramsy Voice). In general Plannar Pairs need decent sources with Proper Audio Dac Implementation or Amp.
SETUP CONFIGURATION.
- Abigail Dac- Volume of 20-30%
- ES-PRO 9318- Volume of 22-32%
- OPPO A95- Volume of 55-70%
- Roon exclusive mode in all USB Dac
Eartips
I usually use stock eartips but I am in love with Kbear-07 eartips. The Stock eartips of this pair is good and Any eartips wll do.
Closing
Since this is my first time, trying a Planar Driver and my source is substantial. Well, I did my best to review it using my not-that-great sources.
General Advice
Always take care of your ears since this hobby involves our ears.
Proper fit can make the sound better or retain, This also applies to eartips.
Never exceed above 60% of volume, well it depends on the hearing and source.
Clean your ears when using your Audio Gears.
Cable rolling usually depends and is optional. The stock cable will do just fine.
