The KeepHiFi store decided to send me KBEAR earphones for a review. I got interested in it and agreed.

The Meteor’s release turned out to be suspiciously quiet. Last year, the same thing happened to Concerto: the model happened to be so disappointing that it was almost immediately discontinued and moved from the category of headphones to one of audiophile oddities. So, it seemed to me at some point that Meteor had suffered the same fate.

I’ve been trying to come up with something intelligent as an introduction for a long time, but decided to say the hell with it: I just liked the unusual appearance of YU9 U-556. That is, it was clear from the very beginning that it is conceptually something a la Etymotic, but judging by the unusual shape of the enclosures, it seems to be made for normal human ears. Up to a point, of course.

I saw Soratune YI01 earphones on AliExpress by chance, and, prompted by the desire to try something unusual, I impulsively bought them for $73. Therefore, today we’ll talk about what kind of earphones they are, whether it’s worth paying attention to them, etc. Looking ahead, it’s worth it.

I know the EPZ company only by a single, but extremely successful earphone model, EPZ G10. It’s those ‘earphones with a flashlight included’. P50 is a completely different story both technologically and in terms of the price/self-presentation. This is a bid for ‘real’ sound for a little less than $200.

I wanted to write about these earphones a long time ago as they’ve been in my headphone vault for more than six months. Why so long? Well, everything was clear with them right away, and when everything is clear, writing obvious stuff no longer seems interesting.
