Dear reader, please keep in mind that whenever there is an opinion in a review, it is my opinion, which may differ significantly from yours. We are all different from each other and have different tastes, and something that does not give me an accelerated heartbeat, you can have great fun, so I always recommend listening before buying if there is such an opportunity. I would also like to point out that in the evaluation of individual parameters, as well as the entire set, I try to relate to the price level that has been set for them, which simply means that any opinion I give should be followed by the thought “.... for its price”. I believe this is the only fair form of evaluation and best represents the value of the reviewed item.

It took me a very, very long time to write this review, not because I didn't know what to write, but because I had a bit of personal stuff piling up, but I've finally caught up and am catching up. I'll start by saying that the opportunity to review WIND was made possible by the representative itself, BQEYZ, in exchange for this review - I'm immensely grateful to them for that, because ...... ok, ok ….slowly .

BQEYZ is a company that has been in the Chi-Fi headphone market for several years now. I got to know them about a year ago, or two, when on the best group about chi-fi on Facebook, “CHI-FI LOVE: Reviews, Bergains and News”, I asked the question: what models deserve the worthy name #stillgoodchifi. That's when several people recommended to me the KC2 model from BQEYZ. The headphones, built like a tank, with tuning quite far from the currently popular, had unprecedented imaging and instrument separation capabilities. I was very impressed with them, and in addition to the fact that they are still in my collection, I can also consider myself a faithful member of the distinguished group that is the “Universal Church of BQEYZ.” - check it out on FB.

The WIND model is the first in a new series of headphones referring to various elements of nature (currently the latest model is CLOUD).

We get the headphones in a blue box bearing a small company logo in the corner and the word WIND and the equivalent sign in Chinese. Inside the box, you'll find the headphones, a sturdy hard case for the headphones, a 3.5mm cable (in my case), a set of atmosphere, and reference tips. In addition, in the “accessories” box you'll find some paperwork and a mini toothbrush. That's pretty much it. I have no objections to the form of packaging or to the contents. It is appropriate, I mean corresponding to the price of the product, and contains what we need to use the headphones at the right level. I will not write about the shell itself, as it’s an individual matter, but I personally like it a lot. The music-producing equipment is a 1DD+1BA hybrid, both 10 mm in diameter.

Let's move on:

It was late evening. My wife had already managed to put our son to sleep, also falling asleep herself, and I was just about to get down to housekeeping and, among other things, washing the dishes. That's when the first chance for me to spend a moment with the new headphones that just came up for review. I put the headphones in my ears and turned on a playlist with songs I already knew quite well, because on such I could best judge the capabilities of the headphones, and ..... probably for more than half an hour I danced in the kitchen, by myself, “as if no one was looking,”. I was rediscovering the magic of songs I already knew, even from my childhood days. It was some kind of magic. Music absorbed me completely. Something like that hasn't happened to me in many years, because as a 43-year-old man, few things now move me as they did that evening. How best to describe the feeling: WIND enriched my songs with elements I had never heard and took me into their world allowing me to delight in them again.

…and, yes, just to confirm.... without even the slightest grain of shame, I'm going to hype these headphones to the skies, because I think they are one of a kind and I can recommend them to anyone who “feels music.”

However, if I were to dryly describe the sound, it would be a warm sound, with a close presentation and a high level of melodiousness. The songs are presented as a whole, where the individual instruments are not exaggeratedly separated, but rather complement each other to create a melody.

On individual registers, it looks like this:

Bass is the first thing that delighted me about the Wind. I don't quite have the knowledge of what share in sound creation the Bone Conduction has, but I think it has its share precisely in the low frequencies because of such a clear and at the same time soft texture I haven't heard in any conventional set so far. Such a bass presentation works well in virtually all genres of music. However, this is not a set for bassheads, because, although there is a lot of it, it is not overwhelming and exaggerated to be suitable for bassheads. The bass is deep and low when the song demands it. It's bouncy and dynamic and fast when it's supposed to be. The bass is simply very good - equipped with texture, depth, character ... everything you need. Even so, it is not the bass that is the biggest star of the evening here, but rather the faithful companion of the “prom queen” that it is:

The mids are forward, and more than once I had the impression as if the words were spoken right at my ear. The greatest value of these registers is their naturalness, which applies to both male and female vocals. They sound incredibly natural. To give you an example: recently, listening to the song of the band Hellyeah “You wouldn't Know”, especially it's beginning, during which we hear a rock guitar on a slight overdrive and the singer saying the words of the chorus. Listening to this memento, it was the naturalness of the sound of the spoken words that struck me. The voice is close, right next to our head, and the ends of the words are equipped with details that make it more realistic. Similarly, in Melody Gardot's song “If The Stars Were Mine.” Ms. Gardot's voice registration was beautifully equipped with small details, linked to the very way of producing the voice, so-called “sounds of mouth”. The gentle mussing of the lips with the tongue, or the sounds of the tongue pulling away from the moist lips sound very sensual and realistic. Sibilants, even if they appear, sound natural, just as they do with ordinary speech, and in my opinion, I never felt them to be irritating or unpleasant, but more simply .... human, as they occur naturally in speech after all. The bass, mentioned in the previous paragraph, supports and complements these sounds, creating a wonderful harmony. Are you familiar with the THX Sound Effect? The association with this sound came to me repeatedly while listening to tracks through WIND. A beautiful synergy of frequencies, creating harmony between the midrange, and bass - for me, this is the main characteristic of the BQEYZ WIND.

And how are the trebles? It's not bad here either. Percussion cymbals sound natural and clear. However, the main difference between the mids and trebles is their exposure. The treble tones seem a bit withdrawn, maybe not too much, but still, at least in relation to the midrange registers. As a result, we don't experience a sense of harshness, and I may not have been exceptionally thrilled with these registers somehow, but they certainly weren't a problem for me. Perhaps at times, they could have been a bit more pronounced, as unfortunately I sometimes thought they were “blurred” a bit. Nevertheless, listening to classical, jazz, or orchestra music met my expectations just fine, including the sound of drum cymbals, violins, or bells of various kinds. I should add here that while I may not have been exceptionally in love with these registers, they certainly did not pose a problem for me. However, if anyone expects absolute crystal clarity and selectivity of the treble, look elsewhere.

• Rather intimate sound presentation, so....
• Stage more wider, but not necessarily deep (at least according to my perception), although with some tracks I happened to be surprised how deep the sounds traveled from
• Imaging is rather imprecise, I mean pinpointing the exact location of an instrument is rather difficult and imprecise. This is not a piece of equipment for breaking down a track into pieces, but more for enjoying the music as a whole.
• Details are picked out quite effectively, especially in the macro-detail range, which enriches the listening and adds that effect of authenticity to the sounds
• Instrument separation is not the strongest feature of this set, but that's what makes it so melodic

I'll start with the tips.

The BQEYZ WIND is quite picky. Being equipped with a bone conduction driver, a proper fit to the temporal area around the ear is essential, so tips with a long sleeve may not be the best solution. While trying different tips, I finally picked out three that I thought gave the best results: BGVP W01 ( wide bore), BQEYZ ( included in the set), and the latest EPZ product M100, which are the only ones that seem to “clean up” the treble a bit. In addition, once you've found eartips that give you tightness, sound, and comfort, it's worth trying with the positioning of the headphones in the ear - I, for example, slightly twist them forward, which gives me the impression that the BC is a little more adjacent to the temple.

Now the hardware:

MuseHiFi M1 and ddHiFi TC35C (ALC Chip 5686).

• both of these DACs I consider the best for metal and rock, because in my opinion, they cause a certain increase in mid-bass and high-mid, so that the songs gain dynamics, notes extra weight, and guitars on overdrive, claw
• I get the impression that holography also increases slightly
• power at 50% was fully sufficient for comfortable listening
• listening is ok, but the bass did not sound as great to me as with ...:

Moondrop Dawn Pro ( 2xCS43131)

• this is the DAC that accompanied me practically all the time while listening to BQEYZ WIND
• wide stage
• bass deep and dynamic
• possibility to add power through a balanced 4.4 output
• for me it was the best pairing

SONY A55 DAP (Mr. Walkman mod) -.

• unfortunately, I had the impression of too little power
• the sound seemed at times muddled as if it lacked dynamics

EXAMPLES OF SONGS

I have such a habit that when I listen to a set, I create a playlist for myself with tracks that caught my attention in some particular aspect or element of the song. In the case of WIND, I had a bit of a problem, because over the course of literally 2-3 days, I created quite a playlist filled with tracks, because so many of them sounded sensational - I guess that already says something about BQEYZ WIND  .

I won't list them all here, because it would take several pages of text, but I'll at least give a few examples:

Morphine - Buena

• beautiful synergy of bass and mids from the first sounds of bass and guitars
• the music fills the head and the listener is in the center of the stage
• the deep voice of Mark Sandman, the full sound of his unique bass guitar, the dynamics of the drums, and the piercing saxophones create a simply unbelievable atmosphere
• as if WIND was made for Morphine

Moglii, Mulay - Hidden in the Mist

• The intimacy in the singer's voice delights
• Space in the sounds
• Percussion elements spread out around the head
• Bass soft, fluffy, and full
• The song absorbs the listener and transports him into its world

Massive Attack - Angel

• Bass full of texture, fat (the most illustrative term is: as if the line was played by a bass player “... with fingers thick as sausages” - that's how a friend once described an MA concert to me, and it fits perfectly here)
• Space in the sounds
• Vocals .... you know <3

Cinematic Orchestra - Channel 1 Suite

• background noise and rustling add an “analog” feel to the sound of the piece
• The bass is deep and full
• every now and then there are sounds coming from far away (this is one of those tracks that surprised me with the depth of the stage)
• the cymbals and snare drum do not reek of clarity, but this may be a matter of samples, or recording (note: with EPZ M100 eartips the effect of unclean trebles does not seem to occur)

ASAP Rocky, Skrillex, Birdy Nam Nam, Lord Falco

• The vocals in the introduction sound like they are from another world - very separate from the main track (WOW effect)
• Bass rather textureless, but such was rather recorded
• Holography cool (at one point I realized that every now and then someone is shouting in the background)

Foo Fighters - White Limo

• already in the intro, a cool impression is made by the slide on the strings (I like it when a set digs these things up)
• at the same time, you can hear guitars on overdrive and bass - at a similar level and with the required dynamics of sound
• drums may be slightly withdrawn and the snare sounds a little .... dull, but it does not interfere with the reception of the song

Summing up the sound on the tracks, I personally think that the BQEYZ WIND is an all-rounder that handles most genres well. However, if I had to point to any genre of music that could sound better, it would be metal. By that, I mean dense metal music, with which I was sometimes bothered by insufficient selectivity and a little lack of sharpness in the sound of the guitars. I don't know if there is a single set that would be able to satisfy fans of all genres of music, but one thing for me is certain: WIND is damn close.

I have reached the end of this review. What I can say in conclusion is that the BQEYZ WIND is a sensational set. A true all-rounder that can surprise you with its sound presentation. It will endow you with strong but damn pleasant bass, natural mids and unobtrusive trebles. It will absorb you completely and allow you to fall in love once again with the tracks that have accompanied you at different stages of your life, just as the BQEYZ WIND will accompany me from now on, as it is one of the most magnificent diamonds in my collection.

I recommend it, with a clear conscience.
