HiFiGoKinera Celest Pandamon 2.0 10mm Square Planar Driver in-Ear Monitor, 2.0 SPD IEMs in-Ear Earphone with All-New Looks (Blue 4.4mm)

I have a few IEMS ranging from 50-100 bucks and this one is very comparable in Value to the Moondrop starfield although it is more detail for less than half the price. I really like this use them with my magni/modi stack and they sound stellar once equalized. They are decent directly through my phone but once properly equalized to my liberal V curve they are as enjoyable as my other iems.

This is for the Celest Pandamon 1.0For under $50, these are truly outstanding, the price to performance is worth every cent. I read some reviews and saw a few graphs, so glad I finally ordered them. On some reviews people were saying these are open back, I really do not think so as they block out a good amount of outside noise, not ANC level.The bass have a nice clean thump and have texture to it, and does not bleed into the Mids. The mids are balanced and the upper mids are not shouty as I find most budget iem's. The treble has some sparkle and at no point during a 3 hour listening session did I feel fatigued. I am using these with no EQ and do not think I would as they have a good balanced, smooth sound with a good clarity to them. The is some width to sound stage but not much depth.The accessories are ok, the cable is useable, though I will swap it out. Nothing really wrong, just a little too thin for my taste, it does tangle a bit. The ear tips are your normal bulb tips with 3 sizes, and they did include both a wide and narrow bore options. They also threw in a carrying pouch and it is a nice light tan soft suede with spring closed opening.All in all as I started with, for the $50 mark, these are outstanding. Do yourself a favor and grab a pair.

Very listenable for extended periods, I'm using it on Fiio K5, will work on AQ Dragonfly Blue, but is way happier with beefier amp. Would be much happier with more adult finish on it, it is ugly.I have a LetShouer S12 which is more exciting, but after a while, causes high frequency fatique.

Design: The IEM body is resin, the cable is nice and braided, and the connectors are solid and feel sturdy.Sound: The sound is on the brighter end, it has good detail and soundstage. It handles EQ pretty well, so mess around with it to get a better sound. It needs a good seal for bass and punch, and I don't think the provided eartips give a good seal, so use different eartips.It comes with a carrying case which is padded for the IEMs. Overall this is a solid IEM

Background: My usual IEMs are the IMR Acoustics Elan+, which is a 10mm bespoke CNT ADLC Driver, bone conduction, and dual balanced armatures. My full size headphones are the Focal Clear. Sources are the FiiO M11 Plus or the desktop Monolith dual AKM DAC / dual THX amp.Short review: Good, clear sound with decent bass, good fit, and a nice bundle with tips and a case. But there are better options (the BASN Mix-PD comes to mind).Longer review: Context is important, so with the small caveat of "for the price... " these are very capable. I was listening to the Plant/Krauss vinyl "Raise the Roof" and was thinking how good and clear it sounded ... and then realized I had the Pandamon in my ears, and not something I would generally consider better.Treble doesn't get too hot and bass is pretty good, but there's just a little bit of a lack of what I'd call presence. Most likely this is because I'm used to what the bone conduction of my IMR units give me.But again, for what the Pandamon cost, I don't think anyone will be disappointed.For comfort and fit, these are on the smaller side and should work well for most people, or even everyone. I used large Divinus Velvet eartips, as my right ear is very hard to get right with tips.
