Ikko OH10 in-Ear Monitor, Detachable Design in-Ear Headphone/Earphone,10mm Dynamic Drive + Knowles 33518 Balanced Drive Dual Hybrid

Product Information

We’re talking about a hybrid creation that uses a titanium coated dynamic driver that plays all-about-that-bass and a balanced armature that takes care of the brilliance and top octaves. This shows that the main thing in fitting is the ergonomic design of the earpieces and not their weight. It isn’t the fastest, nor the cleanest bass I’ve heard and I didn’t like the most that it was spilling over the lower midrange, taking away some of the energy and presence from that region. The usually shallow shape of the foam tips may actually be more comfortable than normal for those who tend to prefer silicone. P1 utilizes a proprietary 10mm moving coil driver, with 50 Ω impedance and 96±3dB sensitivity, and a Copper-Clad Aluminum Wire (CCAW) voice coil.

It’s a similar story in the treble, where OH1 is sharper and more contrasted due to its extra density. The Ikko OH10 is their intermedial in-ear monitor (IEM) situated between the more budget-friendly OH1 and extremely expensive flagship OH7, so the numbering scheme clearly needs some tweaking, too. Its low-end is very present even in tunes where you shouldn’t hear it at all, like classical or jazz.

According to IKKO, each side’s cable has 4 strands of high-purity (8-purity) oxygen-free copper that is silver-plated, and it is designed to extend high frequencies and enhance low frequencies.

The midbass area of the Brainwavz B400 is more pronounced than its subbass region while both are pretty equal in terms of midbass impact, depth and intensity.The IKKO CTU01 cable has include different options of ear tips, the tips is finished in high standard, the short silicone ear tips has softer inner core compare to balanced ear tips. It is quite interesting that the same is the case with OH10, which weights almost three times as much as OH1 (16. Now, not only the quality of OH10 is outstanding in and out, but it appears even better than that of OH1. Apex Legends: Gunshots and footsteps can actually be heard quite clearly in terms of direction and distance. On the exterior of the cavity, there is a three layer coating: The outer layer is a skin-friendly resin coating, the intermediate layer is a titanium alloy coating and the inner layer is an electroplated coating.

I do appreciate the OH10 for resolution and detail it IS excellent in that regard, but the volume of treble is just too much. After that, they start to release some audio products, like the DAC/AMP, USB DAC, cable and Bluetooth cable.

With very few tracks music appeared rather bright and harsh compared to a smoother sounding Meze RAI Solo, but it wasn’t that bothersome in the long run. The B1 are great V shape sounding IEM, it has powerful and full bodies bass, with lush and warm midrange, and slightly smooth yet detail treble. It’s apparent from the moment you start listening that the sound is improved compared to the previous OH1 model. jack, y-split, and chin cinch are all constructed of hematite-colored metal and are svelte and streamlined.

Due to the brass alloy materials, the housings have some heft to them and are a bit heavier than average.

Here is the slightly angled sound nozzle which has a fine metal mesh on the top to prevent the insertion of dust or ear-wax. While the foam tips are standard round-shaped versions (albeit quite short), all the silicone tips are longer and oval-shaped.
