I’m watching products of the EPZ company with interest — at least because I see a certain logic, a certain vector and progress in what they’re doing.

The HiFiGo store approached me with a proposal to write a review on Juzear × Z Reviews Defiant in-ear monitors. “Monkey see monkey do, huh?”, I thought and agreed.

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.
