If these cost $2000USD, I’d be singing a different tune.Ĭomfort with the DMS is 75% great for my ears. For the MSRP, they don’t have any technical skills that wow you, but they present the music well, and that is really what you are looking for at this level. Nothing is jumping out, grabbing me, and making me go…”….wow!” Now, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Sometimes you need a piece of gear that doesn’t make you go “….wow!” But just does the job well all around. Everything is just sort of…average? Average soundstage, average detail, average imaging. The technical side of the DMS is where they show their MSRP a little bit more, and I don’t usually correlate price with performance.
All in all, not too bad, but not the most refined treble I have heard. Sibilance hasn’t been a marked problem so far, but I have winced once or twice with a loud crash cymbal. There is a little bit of sparkle to the treble, but it is not over done and is actually fairly pleasant with the right types of music. A typical V shape “Chi-Fi” IEM, at least the ones I have run into in the past have been a case of BASS, mids, TREBLE!!! Anyhow, not so here. TREBLE: The treble isn’t as elevated as I thought it would be. The mids are super thick and warm, and if you tend to favour acoustic music, you might be better off looking at other models of earphones. MIDS: The mids are a bit recessed sounding to my ears, making these a slightly v shaped earphone. I can see these being a great earphone for someone who enjoys electronica and is looking for something around the $150USD price mark. I really don’t enjoy bass light, lean signatures, so the north of neutral nature of the DMS works for me and my ears. However, for the music I tend to listen to (electronica, rock, jazz) this bass actually works out quite well. I do have one gripe here, and it is the MMCX connectors seem almost…soft? I haven’t had any loose connections yet but they just don’t lock in nicely like some others I have used in the past.īASS: The bass is definitely north of neutral, and a bit bloated sounding at time.
The cable does the job, nothing more, nothing less. You get S/M/L/ of what look like Spinfit knock off tips, S/M/L of some sort of wide bore single flange, and S/M/L/ of standard single flange silicon tips. Now that is not to say it is outright premium feeling, but it more than does the job. The DMS arrive in a nice little box, with more accessories than I expected for the price. I was expecting a generic overly bassy and bright sound signature, but the DMS are a bit more nuanced and mature sounding than expected. So with that being said, these have to do more than just “not suck” they actually have to be listenable and do something more than “let me enjoy a couple tunes.” Do they do this? Actually, yes, they do. Though I didn’t personally purchase this pair and was sent it for the purpose of review (thanks again, Linsoul) something like the Tin Hifi T2 at $50USD is more what I have in mind for a “budget” pair of IEMs. I’m not strictly looking for neutral, or v shaped, or w shaped etc….I just listen to various gear and try to find stuff I enjoy the sound of, which is the best any of us can do, I suppose.Īnyhow, the BGVP DMS is actually a bit more expensive than I would usually recommend for a “budget” pair of IEMs, retailing at $169USD. The only thing that seems consistent is that I enjoy a healthy bass response, but even that seems to have been toned down lately. I Think Linsoul and Penon audio are your best bets for getting your hands on a pair of these if they pique your interest.Īs I said in my original quick impressions of the DMS, more and more, I’m finding that I don’t have a set in stone preference in terms of sound signature. These particular DMS were sent to me by Linsoul Audio for the purpose of review.
I know they are a Chinese company, but that is really all I can find apart from the poorly translated generic “about” section on the companies facebook page. So I’ve been doing a bit of research on BGVP and there isn’t much information out there, that I can find anyhow.
