Back in 2020, we announced our 10th-year anniversary product, the legendary Astrolabe. It was limited to 10 units worldwide, and naturally, many of our fans were unable to obtain it. So, using the same technology as the Astrolabe, we created the Orbit Saga, a sister product with a different tuning as well as a new color scheme. It was our hidden flagship for the past year or so, and now we have decided to officially launch it on our website.
Although their English names sound apart, they are actually both named among the stars. In China, Astrolabe is called “星盘” and Orbit Saga is named “星环”. As you can see, these two names are very similar, and we wanted them to be similar because the products are related. Regrettably, the similarity is lost in translation.
The Orbit Saga represents the ideal sound that we have been trying to reach for the first decade of our brand history. Even though some may be doubtful, all frequencies are improved with sparkling and airy treble, smooth and sweet vocal, and deep and powerful bass. Moreover, you can experience a whole new level of soundstage and clarity. Perhaps, we can outdo ourselves in creating a better cable, but I do not see that happening anytime soon.
The 4-wire option has the advantages of being more economical and lighter in weight.
The 8-wire option has fuller sound, larger soundstage and punchier bass while still feels amazingly soft and easy to use.
The default length of our IEM cables is about 1.2 meters.
When designing this cable, we had an oasis in mind, not a number of a spec sheet. With copper and silver as our base material, we added elements that we have never used before. The addition of each element would provide a different acoustic effect, and equally importantly, the percentage of how much we should be adding of each element to the mixture can also change the sound drastically. You can imagine the number of permutations we had to evaluate. Nevertheless, we arrived at the oasis with memorable days of trial and error.
Apart from its amazing core, we have two thin sheaths, one pure copper and one pure silver, spiraling around the core. These two spiralsprovide acoustic tuning as well as isolation to the core.
Although we have been using single spiral designs on other products such as the copper spiral on the Vermilion MKII and the silver spiral on the Supernova MKII+, the dual-spiral design actually took much experimentation for getting to the ideal sound while not stiffening the cable for a comfortable experience.
Key Materials: Silver, Copper, Gold
Sound Signature: Detailed, Open, Neutral
I own virtually all the TOTL iems, and I have never heard one as detailed and moving as the PMG APX SE. The bass thumps, the treble glistens, the soundstage is all over and the definition amongst instruments is the best I have heard. It is my clear favorite now.
First, I must tell that I am not an audiophile, just a music enthusiast. Owning only headphones wanted to give a try to IEMs since I am always on the go. This being my first IEM, wanted to invest in something good so after searching in this price range and reading multiple reviews, decided to go for the Softears Enigma.
Photographs don’t give enough credit; this set is gorgeous and elegant. Engaging, without being extremely striking, so I can listen to my music while I wear suit at work or jeans on the street. But, above all, the sound. Enigma just blowout my mind. Fantastic for my taste: beautifully balance, with good clarity, detail, separation and expanded soundstage. And in the center of all that, the magic of that vocal tuning. Some audiophiles find Enigma treble recessed, not for me: everything is there in the right amount and when music asks for a stronger performance, they become energetic. And add to that excellent comfort.
I pair them with iBasso DX320MAX Ti, Mojo 2 and Lotoo PAW GT2.
I am very happy with them and grateful with Andrew and his team.
Being a lover of Dita Audio products, I was intrigued by this unknown Singapore IEM. Its drivers setup looked interesting and let me overlook the shiny steampunk-like like look I am not a fan of. With the very kind and soft assistance from MusicTeck's mrs. Grace, some fine reviews of Jomo Audio products, I decided to try it.
Well it is very good. I love acoustic music, jazz classics from the '40s to' 70s mainly. This is a fine IEM on a technical revealing side of soumd. I love Nautilus detailed and airy mids and highs the most but the bass is almost perfect too, authoritative and textured. The soundstage wide and perfectly arranged. Thank you Jomo Audio (and MusicTeck for the friendly Assistance).
The driver set up in the BGVP Phantom SE makes its price all the more amazing. Double DD's AND double BC's with a BA from Sonion AND one from Knowles. Pretty sick. And may I just say....the sound is unique and extremely loveable! The way the Phanton SE layers notes within the stage is amazing. Right to left stereo is phenomenal. They've conjured up a tuning that sort of redefines sound stage as I define it. It's well balanced from mid-bass all the way up through the treble which extends to the moon. The lowend sub bass is satisfying good rumble and mid bass punches very well. On occasion when the low end is really called up Phantom SE can BRING THE THUNDER.
The cable it comes with also quite and nice and seems extravagant for a $1099 set. I'm really quite enjoying mine. The heat color change is a cool little addition as well and works great! Well done BGVP!
I love this dap , for a while I was thinking to utilize my old lg v30 as dap but I was not happy with limited ability to customize sound . This R4 has eq and mseb and I can taylor sound exactly the way I like it . Hiby music app is great but you can use any android media player in it . I also like that I can watch Youtube videos with it . I loaded 512gb micro sd card with few hundreds albums in flac and some in mp3 and everything works great . Balanced output works great and I had no problem driving my lsa hp2 headphones with it . I use 3.5mm output with campfire atlas and Im very happy with sound Im getting . Some users reported overheating but I guess they have early production models because mine never get hot only slightly warm over couple hours of use .
