Introduction<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Around this time last year marked my first experience of BGVP with the truly fantastic \u2018Phantom SE\u2019 \u2013 a $1,099 set that has the same driver configuration as Astrum, but with the addition of 2x bone conduction drivers. The Phantom SE ranked in the best sets I tried in 2024, and one that absolutely represents incredible value for money. The pace of the hobby in the time since has meant I\u2019ve not had time to revisit the Phantom SE, but I certainly intend to as part of this review to compare.<\/p>\n

I also had the pleasure of reviewing the much cheaper NS10 Pro back in March, a $199 set that consists of 1x DD, 1x Planar, and 8x BA \u2013 another fantastic set that again displays a performance that offers excellent value for the $199 price tag.<\/p>\n

Having had the great experience with both of these, I was only delighted to accept an offer from BGVP to review this latest set. Thank you as always to BGVP, appreciate your trust in me to evaluate your products! Usual disclaimer: all thoughts, images etc are mine and without any input from the brand.<\/p>\n

About Me<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

I worked in the consumer electronics industry for a large part of my career and have been passionate about music and technology for as long as I can remember. Even as a small child, I would ask my mum to put records on the turntable (Abba, Supertramp, and Planxty if anyone is curious).<\/p>\n

My music preferences are very varied\u2014anything from classical to techno, indie rock to jazz, and everything in between. In my early teens, I was a big fan of bands like The Cure and The Smiths (still am all these years later). I was bitten by the dance music bug in the early 90s, becoming passionate about genres like techno, house, trance, and IDM. I amassed a huge collection of records and CDs, DJing at various parties and occasional pirate radio station slots. Although it remained a hobby, I still own thousands of records, and my trusty Technics 1210 turntables are still going strong 30 years later\u2014a testament to Japanese engineering!<\/p>\n

I am not a professional reviewer, just an enthusiast who loves music and the devices we use to listen to it. Over the last few years, I have become obsessed with IEMs and related gear. I’ve bought and sold many, and kept a select few\u2014ranging from the $20 Moondrop Chu to kilobuck sets like the Aroma Jewel, Oriolus’ infamous ‘Traillii,’ UM Mentor, and various beloved single DDs. Through this exploration, I like to share my thoughts with the Head-Fi community, hoping they might be useful to others. However, remember that this is a highly subjective hobby, and your mileage may vary.<\/p>\n

While I’ve been fortunate to own and try a variety of the TOTL sets on the market, I honestly enjoy lower-priced sets as much – especially as the gap continues to close, many much cheaper sets now offering significant value and further driving diminishing returns.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll admit I do suffer from happy ears\u2026 rarely do I find an IEM that I genuinely dislike. At this stage, there are very few truly \u201cbad\u201d IEMs; it almost always comes down to individual preference. Since I listen to such a wide variety of genres, I nearly always find synergy with some part of my library. Where my scores reflect deductions is in areas like value for money, poor accessories, or an uncomfortable fit – things that genuinely detract from the overall experience, rather than subjective tuning differences.<\/p>\n
