A New Approach To Sound! The BQEYZ Wind -SherryLion

Introduction

As I have stated previously, BQEYZ is an electroacoustic production firm that surprises its followers with its own inventions and execution rather than going along with the crowd. And because of this, I have always liked them every time I have reviewed one of their products. I respect and admire the company for paying attention to its followers and consumers and delivering. I am eager to examine their just launched new IEM, the Wind, which makes use of their newly designed driver configuration. However, before I do, there are a few things I would want to make clear.

Disclaimer

*Since this unit tour was organised by the generous people at BQEYZ, I am grateful to them. And as I've said in all of my evaluations, the same is true for this one: all of the concepts I've expressed below are entirely my own, original ideas that haven't been influenced by anyone else.
*I am not associated with the connection, and I receive no financial assistance from anyone.
*For the remainder of the review, I will refer to these IEMs as “Wind.”
*I am using different Ear-tips for convenience and better versatility.
*Finally, I will only evaluate the Wind based on their performance, even though I will explain how it feels and seems physically and aesthetically.

Specification

A 10mm LCP composite diaphragm dual cavity dynamic driver and a 10mm bone conduction driver make up the hybrid driver arrangement used in the Wind. The bone conduction driver, which handles medium and low frequencies, is a self-developed coil bone conduction driver. The aluminum alloy used to make the shells has a semi-open design, with open cavities designed on the faceplate to allow air to pass through. Regarding fit and comfort, I had no problems wearing them, however using them for more than two to three hours did get tiresome.The Wind single crystal copper plated silver wire that comes with the cable includes a 4.4mm termination straight plug on one side and two pin connections on the other. Additional accessories that come with the device are a carrying case, a 3.5mm jack adaptor, and an assortment of eartips in various sizes and styles. Regarding the technical details, the sensitivity is 113dB and the impedance spans from 33 to 100 ohms. The range of the frequency response is 5 Hz to 40 kHz.

Sound

With a strong bass and an upbeat feeling in the higher frequencies, the Wind's sound tends to be more V-shaped. The Wind, in my opinion, has a nice upper mid range intensity that provides strong clarity over the elements and makes for a pleasant listen. It's really encouraging that other IEMs that are priced similarly to these have had different responses from customers, since it breaks the monotonous loop of adopting the same goal that all businesses pursue. These sound similar to the EA1000, in my opinion, but not quite the same. I mean, the way the midrange and treble are handled feels like it was tuned for the EA1000 by SIMGOT. I think this is not the most detailed out there, even if I think the driver used in it is truly of a very high caliber. In technological terms, it sounds nearly exactly like the DUNU Falcon Ultra, but more on it later. To learn more, let's explore the sound more thoroughly.

Treble

The treble response is very composite, but it doesn't highlight any parts that, in my opinion, sound disagreeable or strange. If anything, they don't make sense, as if they were done on purpose. That's not new, though, because I've heard similar things about other BQEYZ IEMs, which are essentially tuned in-house and have a devoted fan base. To be more precise, I feel that the upper treble section sounds a little wrong. It sounds like the accentuated part is supposed to provide an impression of space and airiness, but neither the voices nor the instruments are meant to sound broader and more "complete." However, I think it's really extended, which makes some of the responses sound agile and vibrant, which makes it more alluring and sizzling. Every sound that you hear has a more forward-sounding, composite lower treble section. This area really has a highly fluid and active reaction. Together with the instrumentation, the voices sound upbeat and forward, with just the right amount of clarity in the notes. As a result, the treble region's overall appearance is vibrant, interesting, and energizing.

Mid Range

As we approach the mid range, I have to say that it is alluring and exudes the same vitality as the higher frequencies. With the exception of being more comprehensive and resolved, the reaction is very similar to the Falcon Ultra. Since there is a good tonal balance between the upper and lower mid range, the forwardness doesn't introduce any objectionable qualities. Thanks to the lower emphasize and resonant warmth, the upper mid range sounds more forward and clear than any other range, enabling a vibrant and lively response that avoids sounding metallic or harsh. While the instrumentation enhance the voice, the vocals take a more upfront approach. The notes have weight and a thick, solid depth, while the lower mid range adds just the proper amount of warmth. A positive indicator is the muttering effect created by the singers and instruments. Additionally, the BC helps to level off the occasional natural decay of notes in the lower frequency, contributing to the clean sound. As a result, the mid range area is presented in a forward, colorful, and tonally pleasing manner overall.

Bass

This bass doesn't sound bloated or overbearing; instead, it rumbles and yields a forceful reaction. The notes are of excellent quality since they operate quickly, allowing for a regulated and orderly reaction. The sub bass range, which excels at handling the deep, rumbling bass, is where the emphasis resides. The rumbling sensation adds to the enjoyment of this bass, and the punches are strong. The mid bass is present enough to provide the smash and thud a solid, controlled feel. The attack comes on quickly, yet the decay seems organic—that is, a slower decay gets it almost exactly like actual music. Although the notes aren't very good, they are sufficient to give it a sophisticated, almost exact sound. Overall, the bass area is presented in a controlled, punchy, and rumbly manner.

Technical Performance

Regarding the technical specifications, I believe the Wind performs well in comparison to comparable IEMs in this price range, such as the Falcon Ultra, EA1000, Quartet, etc. However, in my opinion, it is a little lacking in that technical skill. The EA1000 is still technologically advanced, in my opinion. Let's get into further depth.

Soundstage, Sound Imaging & Separation

Although the stage's vastness and depth contribute to its spaciousness, it falls short of its full potential in terms of sound quality. While the image is crisp and clear, it might have been even better, similar to the EA1000. The note separation is noticeable and far enough away to give me peace of mind while attempting to locate the source of the sound.

Speed & Resolution

The resolution is excellent, allowing both macro and micro features to be seen well, yet the minute details become somewhat lost in complicated tracks. Though everyone has a different interpretation, the notes' unexpectedly quick onset and delayed decline put them in the ballpark of a genuine reaction.

Sound Impressions 

Sources

Sony WM1A - The response seems as though additional width and depth have been added to the mix while maintaining a forward-projecting midrange and a better extended treble while listening to Wind with WM1A. In actuality, the details are more illuminating while maintaining clarity. At some moments, the instruments and voice both seem a little bit larger. The bass seems a touch muted, which gives the impression that it is larger and more expansive overall.

Tempotec V6 - In comparison to the WM1A, the response seems sharper and more closed while listening to Wind via Tempotec. The midrange maintains it sounding lively and expressive while the treble makes it seem more filled. Conversely, the bass has more control and sounds meaner and more forceful.


Aful SnowyNIght - When listening to Wind with Snowynight, the mid range is more subdued and has better placement, and the response seems deeper and more layered. Finding the energy in the high treble and producing a better-executed extension is made simpler by the stage surrounding. The bass, which is between 100 and 200 dB, sounds more emphasized in the response because the lower notes pound more prominently. Because of the improved energy balance, a linear response is possible.
Colorfly CDA-M2 - When listening to Wind with M2, the response is nearly identical to Snowy Night, but it sounds much more balanced, with a better sense of spaciousness and placement along with a bit of warmth. When compared to Snowynight, the treble sounds more expansive and the intensity is more subdued, especially in the 2-3k range. Rather than punchier and more precise, the bass seems warmer.

Conclusion

Ultimately, I found the reaction to be a unique experience and can attest to their sincere efforts in implementing their drivers, which are tuned to sound incredibly fantastic for the price. I heartily suggest these to anyone who like BQEYZ in house music, as they are sure to please.
