Hippo Pearl

Hippo Pearl Review

Looking for a cheap IEM without breaking into your saving or your wallet? Here at Audio Pro, we provide that option and the option is Hippo pearl, with a pricing of $55. At this price, this IEM is a steal and rest assure, this one IEM you wouldn't mind having.

 Accessories:
 The IEM comes with a velvet drawstring pouch, a shirt clip and 3 extra pairs of rubber sleeves (S, M and L). The sleeves come in two color, red and blue for indication of left and right.

Build Quality:
The housing is of metal construction and the canal tube is made of plastic with a piece of filter covering the canal tube to prevent the build up of wax. The plug is gold-plated.

Isolation:
Isolation on the Pearl are fairly good. They block out  alot of loud noise but still enough to hear what going on. This is however, without the music on. If your music is playing, you can expect to be in your own world without any distraction to enjoy your music. Very well recommend if you need to "listen" to your parent nag.

Sound:
The most important part of any headphone or IEM is sound. No matter how good a headphone/IEM sound, if the sound isn't good. It's not worth it (in my opinion). The Pearl rarely have any sibilant (overly bright), unless the band/singer emphasis of in. Else, it's very well control.

The BassBass are plenty, both in depth (the boom/impact) and quantity. The bass are present and doesn't break up even when the song have low bass. Although in my opinion, the bass is slightly too much in certain song for my taste but Basshead will love the Pearl. 

The Mids: The mids are very smooth and details. The vocal from the singer comes out very natural without any constrain.

The highs : The sound and details are amazing, you can hear the details without having to really listen to it.

Sound Stage: The sound stage is very pleasing to the ear. Even with hours of listening, you won't get sick of it as it is a fairly "flat" to allow the music to sound natural as intended by the artist.

The Conclusion:
Pro : Awesome Bass, Great High and Mids.
Con: The cable however have alot of microphonics but this can be reduce why wearing the cable over the ear rather than let it dangle.

My Opinion:
I would highly recommend this pair of IEM to anyone who want to get a glimpse of how music should sound like.

So what are you waiting for? Come and grab one now.

Price: BND$55.00
