If you are an Introvert, you will very understand the disturbed feeling when someone you don’t know looking at you. With so many new IEM with unique and stand out faceplate design, you will instantly become the center of attention in the crowd when using it. We can say that introvert almost impossible to satisfy their “audiophile” need in public space. But don’t be afraid, because now BQ10 is here becoming the answer for your problem!

When other manufacturers compete to make the most unique faceplate as possible, BQEYZ is making a simple yet elegant faceplate instead! Then, how about the sound quality? Is it simple too? Or rather elegant? Lets go review it!

Before i continue, i want to say thank you to Rifat Rif'at Mubarok that arrange this IEM Tour, and to BQEYZ Audio and Audio Geek "Brother_Hood of Audiophiles" that give me the chance to review this IEM.

BQ10 have a very simple packaging, with compact size box, infront of it we can see the BQ10 faceplate design that very simple yet elegant. Its like the designer want to told us “See, our IEM is simple, nothing weird with its design, very safe to use in public space!”

Inside the box, we got standard accessories like cable jack 3.5mm, pouch case, manual guide book, and two kind of eartips, narrow and wide bore that come with 3 size. For the packaging and accessories, BQ10 is not the best if you compare it with other brand, but at least i can say that BQ10 is fulfilling the minimum standard of packaging and accessories in its price range.

With a “calmer” design than others IEM in the market right now, is the sound of BQ10 can stand out than the others? Lets talk about it!

BQ10 have a focused mid bass, whereas the sub bass is not really present, you can feel it just in some part. The mid bass is good enough, not exaggerated, and not lacking too, it just sounds right! The drum impact at the beginning of Yorushika - Parade feel right, not overpowering the other sound frequencies but still built the tension and emotion of the song.

Yorushika - Haru is the song that i choose to test the mid frequencies of BQ10. The mid in BQ10 actually safe enough, not thin, but honestly i think suis vocal become dry and harsh in the upper midrange. I believe this is because the influence of BQ10 treble.

Treble in BQ10 is extend and detail, treble is the most stand out frequencies in BQ10. Very stand out that it affect the upper midrange in BQ10.

I like to live like Larry, I, with full awareness, on purpose listening to Metallica - Master of Puppet to test the Treble in BQ10. This song have 1 minute full of cymbal crash at the beginning of the song, and because BQ10 is very aggresive, it hurt my ear.

Don’t take me wrong, the treble is good, but admittedly, for some song that have aggresive and high intensity of treble, BQ10 will make it more aggresive than before.

The micro detail is presented well enough, its not hard to listening the singer’s take breath sound or noise when recording in BQ10. The soundstage is not wide, its very unfortunately, because they already stated in the box description “gaming scene atmosphere tuning”. For separation its ok although it still overlap each other when many instrument played. Imaging and positioning make you feel the right and left sound, but its not good on told you the height and depth of the sound, its still 2D-ish.

As expected from a “calm” IEM, the fitting is “calm” too! Its feel very good to be honest, because the shape is very normal, don't have any weird edges, the size is not too big! The housing fit perfectly and comfortably when I use the IEM, Its not hurt my ear even though for a long listening session.
