2 BA = 2 Tunings - Ooopus Op x 22 Review 

Youtube Review: https://youtu.be/S_Njmz2pegc?si=OnU5cUfxn6XaFGDf

Price: $39

Disclaimer: I bought these iem and will be sharing my own honest thoughts. I was very curious that this was called the “Mini Hexa” with a bass boost tuning knob. 

Specs:

Driver Configuration: 1x10 mm DD, 1x8 mm DD, 2 BA
Cable: 3.5mm  QDC
Frequency Response: 20Hz-40kHz 
Impedance: 22Ω 
Sensitivity: 124dB

Unboxing Experience - 

Packaging & Accessories 

 Decent but nothing outstanding for the price. There are 2 types of eartips, one is a typical rubber eartips and the other is a stickier silicone type of eartips. The cable is a qdc connector which for the price is quite unacceptable but it works fine. 

Build quality - The shell is made of a polycarbonate plastic, so it’s very lightweight, but feels sturdier compared to resin shell iems. 

Design-wise, it has a clean matte black finish look with a very unique mech design that looks futuristic or like gamer peripherals

but The highlight here is the tuning knob on the faceplate. where the open dot is for the neutral tuning while the solid orange dot means it's on bass boost mode. 
It has a locking mechanism feel when switching modes, so you won’t accidentally change it and it’s smooth enough that you can actually adjust it while wearing the IEMs.

And unlike most tuning switches, this one actually makes a noticeable difference.

Comfort - Comfort is honestly one of its strong points.

Because it’s very light, it fits nicely in the ear which works great for long listening sessions.

However, the shell is slightly large since it has 4 drivers, so if you have smaller ears, this might not give a comfortable fit.

 

Sound - 

Bass - Starting with the bass this is easily the highlight.

In normal mode, the bass is more controlled, slightly above neutral, with good extension and a clean presentation.

for the bass mode, and you get a significant boost—around 5 to 7 dB—which makes it much more punchy, heavier, and more fun. () but for me it lacks that rumble of a subwoofer despite that huge increase in the subbass

It adds a lot of impact for genres like EDM, hip-hop, and pop, but it can slightly bleed into the mids depending on the track.

Midrange/Vocals -  The midrange is warm and natural.

Male vocals sound full and rich, while female vocals are smooth and non-fatiguing.

It’s not the most forward or energetic midrange, it leans more towards a relaxed presentation but it sounds cohesive and musical overall.

In bass mode, the mids can get slightly thicker or warmer in the low end, but still very listenable.

When using the neutral mode, the upper midrange is very interesting where it has 2 sides of the coin here. The 3-4khz is something that deviates from the neutral tuning which gives forwardness that gives instruments like hi-hats and cymbals sound crisp and gives a better sense of width but this also means that it also highlights sibilance, where I used this to monitor my voice and hearing that it was sibilant which i tried to fix with eq, not knowing that it sounds normal with my phone speakers or other iems like the truthear reds for example. 

The bass mode alleviates this a little bit because of the emphasis in the bass which reduces the perception in the upper midrange to presence region.

Overall the vocals lacks dynamic and fun which leans towards the inoffensive and relaxed tuning with a caveat in the upper end which can work with or against the song depending on how it was mixed. 

Treble - Treble is very interesting where there are The dual Balanced Armatures handle the higher frequencies giving it enough resolution and detail without sounding harsh in cymbals. This may come off as a neutral to dark-neutral since it lacks extension in the air region above 10k, where there is a continous roll off pass 4khz as the upper frequency goes higher. This is a safe tuning set that is good for those that are sensitive to treble since it comes of as smooth and round. 

Technicalities:

For technical performance, it’s solid for the price.

Soundstage is average not super wide, but it has decent width and depth.

Imaging is accurate for casual gaming and music listening.

Separation is good, though not class-leading, and detail retrieval leans more towards smoothness rather than sharp resolution. 

Overall, it’s more about musicality than technical performance. Micro details are prioritized over macro details 

Conclusion -   So overall, the OOOPUS X22 is a very interesting budget IEM.

It’s not perfect the accessories and build are pretty basic—but the sound quality and tuning versatility really make it stand out.

At this price, getting essentially two sound signatures in one is a big advantage.

If you’re just starting out or want a fun and flexible IEM, this is definitely worth checking out.

Thank you for reading my review!!! And hope that I helped you learn about this iem so that you could make an informative decision before buying it. And see you at the next review, CIAO!

Youtube Review: https://youtu.be/oucragRqgvo?si=FWzuvdf4Cydj77j_

Price: $30-35

Disclaimer: This iem was loaned to me by Twistura, so I am grateful for the opportunity to try out and review their latest budget iem. Everything that I will say will be my experience and honest thoughts.

Specs:

Unboxing Experience  

Packaging & Accessories - 

Out of the box, you get a straightforward set: the IEMs, multiple silicone ear tips, a 2-pin cable with a mic, and a small carrying pouch. It’s a complete package, but nothing here feels premium. The cable is usable but nothing special, and the ear tips are decent at best. The pre-installed tips resemble TRN T-style tips, which are made of a slightly grippy silicone that helps with seal and stability, but the downside is you only get one pair of them.

Build quality - The shell is fully made of electronic plated zinc metal which gives it a solid feeling to it without being too heavy. It has a glossy finish that looks nice and reflects light but can be a fingerprint magnet so keep in mind. Fingerprints only show up when light is shining directly at it, but if it isn’t the fingerprints are not noticeable. 

The cable is a little underwhelming for the price since the material used feels cheap, similar to typical earbuds that came with phones before but has a rubberized texture but it works alright . Earhooks molded to my earshape well so at least comfort wise it is good. 

I didn’t use the other eartips as the eartips attached out of the box is really good but I hoped that they provided other sizes since a Large might give a better seal. 

It also came with a drawstring pouch that is made of fabric similar to the roof of the cars. It also seems to be the same type used in the Tanchjim Bunny. The pouch offers decent scratch protection but provides no protection from fall damage. 

Comfort - It is around the average size at it’s price point which is small for me which can fit smaller ears well. The weight is manageable, not heavy that it becomes tiring to wear nor light enough that it feels cheap which is nicely done by Twistura. 

The shape of the cable’s earhooks fit nicely on my ear and I don’t feel anything while wearing it which is nice. The eartips that came attached to the iem is really nice since it sticks and fits well in ear. 

 

FR Graph

Sound  

Bass - The Delta has a nice clean bass with a focus in the Midbass. Kick drums sound quick and punchy without being too bloated so it keeps bass controlled but still have a fun character. For the subbass, it is done subtly that has enough rumble for depth without making things sound intimate which is great. 

Midrange/Vocals -  Vocals are done well in my opinion, it is forward enough to shine well in most tracks but it doesn’t cross the line of being shouty.  Male vocals sound clear and good body weight which helps distinguish it apart from the instrumentals. Female vocals are clear and bright but still maintains lushness that makes it sound high res and amusing to listen to. 

Treble - The treble is decent, it brings detail and clarity to songs but what stands out to me was the openness and airiness that gives it a wider soundstage. Brightness is bordering the harsh territory where it keeps a mild spicy flavor which is enjoyable that keeps things interesting and entertaining. 

Technicalities:

Sibilance - Sibilance shows up depending on the track like Huwag na Huwag mong Sasabihin by Kitchie Nadal where that song is notorious with sibilance across different iems I tested. It is not harsh for me but it has presence. Sibilance can also be a problem when listening to higher volumes since it pushes that quite a bit. 

Soundstage - A little better than average with enough layering in the horizontal axis but lacks the vertD. It is not expansive and feels like sound is close to the middle of your ears

Imaging - Imaging is also above average and is good for competitive fps games like csgo or valorant. Vertical imaging is also transparent and I could easily hear the exact location even if the enemy is from above. 

Separation - Above average, where drum sticks and kick drums are nicely separated in Sigurado by UDD. The drum sticks are located on the right while kick drums right in the middle. Hi hats are on the left which is really a pleasure to listen to.

Conclusion 

The Twistura Delta is one of those IEMs that doesn’t try to stand out in flashy ways, but ends up being a very well-rounded set when you actually spend time with it. At it’s price point, it delivers a clean and controlled bass, a natural and engaging midrange, and a treble that adds just enough energy and air to keep things interesting and open but it can get a bit spicy depending on the track or volume.

What makes the Delta stand out more is its overall balance and usability. Technicalities like imaging and separation perform above average for the price, making it not just good for music, but also a solid option for casual to competitive gaming. Soundstage is decent, not the widest, but still coherent enough to avoid sounding congested.

That said, it’s not without flaws. Accessories are pretty basic, and the cable could definitely be improved. Sibilance can also show up in certain tracks or at higher volumes, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to that.

Overall, the Twistura Delta feels like a “safe but well-executed” IEM. It doesn’t go for extremes, but instead focuses on delivering a consistent, enjoyable experience across different use cases. If you’re looking for a comfortable, balanced daily driver with solid technical performance for the price, this is an easy recommendation.

The shape of the cable’s earhooks fit nicely on my ear and I don’t feel anything while wearing it which is nice. The eartips that came attached to the iem is really nice since it sticks and fits well in ear.

Sound  

Bass - The Delta has a nice clean bass with a focus in the Midbass. Kick drums sound quick and punchy without being too bloated so it keeps bass controlled but still have a fun character. For the subbass, it is done subtly that has enough rumble for depth without making things sound intimate which is great. 

Midrange/Vocals -  Vocals are done well in my opinion, it is forward enough to shine well in most tracks but it doesn’t cross the line of being shouty.  Male vocals sound clear and good body weight which helps distinguish it apart from the instrumentals. Female vocals are clear and bright but still maintains lushness that makes it sound high res and amusing to listen to. 

Treble - The treble is decent, it brings detail and clarity to songs but what stands out to me was the openness and airiness that gives it a wider soundstage. Brightness is bordering the harsh territory where it keeps a mild spicy flavor which is enjoyable that keeps things interesting and entertaining. 

Technicalities:

Sibilance - Sibilance shows up depending on the track like Huwag na Huwag mong Sasabihin by Kitchie Nadal where that song is notorious with sibilance across different iems I tested. It is not harsh for me but it has presence. Sibilance can also be a problem when listening to higher volumes since it pushes that quite a bit. 

Soundstage - A little better than average with enough layering in the horizontal axis but lacks the vertD. It is not expansive and feels like sound is close to the middle of your ears

Imaging - Imaging is also above average and is good for competitive fps games like csgo or valorant. Vertical imaging is also transparent and I could easily hear the exact location even if the enemy is from above. 

Separation - Above average, where drum sticks and kick drums are nicely separated in Sigurado by UDD. The drum sticks are located on the right while kick drums right in the middle. Hi hats are on the left which is really a pleasure to listen to.

Conclusion 

The Twistura Delta is one of those IEMs that doesn’t try to stand out in flashy ways, but ends up being a very well-rounded set when you actually spend time with it. At it’s price point, it delivers a clean and controlled bass, a natural and engaging midrange, and a treble that adds just enough energy and air to keep things interesting and open but it can get a bit spicy depending on the track or volume.

What makes the Delta stand out more is its overall balance and usability. Technicalities like imaging and separation perform above average for the price, making it not just good for music, but also a solid option for casual to competitive gaming. Soundstage is decent, not the widest, but still coherent enough to avoid sounding congested.

That said, it’s not without flaws. Accessories are pretty basic, and the cable could definitely be improved. Sibilance can also show up in certain tracks or at higher volumes, so it’s something to keep in mind if you’re sensitive to that.

Overall, the Twistura Delta feels like a “safe but well-executed” IEM. It doesn’t go for extremes, but instead focuses on delivering a consistent, enjoyable experience across different use cases. If you’re looking for a comfortable, balanced daily driver with solid technical performance for the price, this is an easy recommendation.

Thank you for reading my review!!! And hope that I helped you learn about this iem so that you could make an informative decision before buying it. And see you at the next review, CIAO!

Youtube Review: https://youtu.be/oucragRqgvo?si=FWzuvdf4Cydj77j_

Price: $30-35

Disclaimer: This iem was loaned to me by Twistura, so I am grateful for the opportunity to try out and review their latest budget iem. Everything that I will say will be my experience and honest thoughts.

Specs:

Unboxing Experience  

Packaging & Accessories - 

Out of the box, you get a straightforward set: the IEMs, multiple silicone ear tips, a 2-pin cable with a mic, and a small carrying pouch. It’s a complete package, but nothing here feels premium. The cable is usable but nothing special, and the ear tips are decent at best. The pre-installed tips resemble TRN T-style tips, which are made of a slightly grippy silicone that helps with seal and stability, but the downside is you only get one pair of them.

Build quality - The shell is fully made of electronic plated zinc metal which gives it a solid feeling to it without being too heavy. It has a glossy finish that looks nice and reflects light but can be a fingerprint magnet so keep in mind. Fingerprints only show up when light is shining directly at it, but if it isn’t the fingerprints are not noticeable. 

The cable is a little underwhelming for the price since the material used feels cheap, similar to typical earbuds that came with phones before but has a rubberized texture but it works alright . Earhooks molded to my earshape well so at least comfort wise it is good. 

I didn’t use the other eartips as the eartips attached out of the box is really good but I hoped that they provided other sizes since a Large might give a better seal. 

It also came with a drawstring pouch that is made of fabric similar to the roof of the cars. It also seems to be the same type used in the Tanchjim Bunny. The pouch offers decent scratch protection but provides no protection from fall damage. 

Comfort - It is around the average size at it’s price point which is small for me which can fit smaller ears well. The weight is manageable, not heavy that it becomes tiring to wear nor light enough that it feels cheap which is nicely done by Twistura.

YT Review: https://youtu.be/a8yqWPqvIZc?si=7T5LuZo_cQk1mEHM

Price: $20

Disclaimer: I bought these iems and will be speaking my own honest thoughts. I was curious about the included eartips and the waner 2 in general since it was one of the iems I wanted to buy for my first set. 

Packaging & Accessories

This is where Tangzu does the best at the budget segment, they give time and effort to the artstyle of the box and the iems itself which is also pretty unique. 

Accessories are impressive and is one of the best if not the best at its price range. Complete with everything that you won’t need to purchase 3rd party accessories to elevate your experience. The Sancai wide bore and He sonic eartips alone are worth more than half the price of the iems itself. 

It also comes with a magnetic rubber pouch that offers decent protection but is not fully sealed so water and dust can go inside the case.

Build quality - The shell is fully made of resin which makes it very light and feel like a toy at hand. The translucent shell allows you to see the single DD inside it. The nozzle is made of metal which is quite huge and makes it hard to insert and remove the he sonic eartips. 

The cable is one of the best and is almost perfect because it is thickness is just right, has a smooth and a little powdery texture, behaves well when wrapped and has no microphonics. The only missing things about the cable is the velcro strap and a chin slider which I am nitpicking because you don’t really need it because of how well behaved and premium the quality of the cable is.

Comfort - Very light and fits quite snug in my ears because of it’s thick and huge shell considering it’s a single DD iem where you could see that it has a lot of space inside the shell. This might not fit properly for people with smaller ears so take note and stay away from this iem. The ear hooks form well around the ears and has no microphonics.

Sound

Bass - The Red lions focus on a sub-bass rumble that prioritizes depth and rumble over control. The sub-bass has a good extension that feels physical and texture but lacks that “subwoofer effect” considering the amount of sub-bass it has. 

The mid-bass has the right amount of punch but can bleed in the midrange despite it not being super thumpy which may be the limitation of its driver. There is a little noticeable decay that lingers for a bit. Where it leans towards the fun low end over being clean or controlled.

Midrange/Vocals -  Vocal tonality is warm and laid back despite the waner 2 being known for vocals, the increase in bass made it seated back quite a bit. Instruments sound alright and organic but lack timber and detail.

Upper vocals aren’t that affected with the bass bleed but is not shouty, just the right amount of forwardness for me. Decent warm tonality but isn’t full bodied and lacks a little bit of resolution. 

Treble - The treble is not really good since it lacks sparkle and air because of the upper treble roll off. This gives it a non fatiguing sound that misses on micro-detail and is quite forgettable. This makes it easy to listen to and gives way for the vocals and bass to shine. 

Technicalities:

Sibilance - Sibilance is mostly safe and non fatiguing. Sibilance only shows up on music that are recorded spicy like 

Soundstage - Just average with enough layering in the horizontal axis but lacks the vertical stage that makes it sound 2D. It is not expansive and feels like sound is close to the middle of your ears

Imaging - Imaging is also average and enough to pinpoint instruments but and is usable for fps games as it is quite accurate at close range. 

Separation - Below average where instruments are very close to each other and gets congested easily especially in Rock where the drums felt very close to each other and doesn’t give an analytical listening. 

Conclusion

 Overall, this iem provides the best value at $20 that is for people that found the Waner 2 Jade Green shouty and wants a warmer sound. This is one of the iems that I recommend for beginners out there that aren’t sure what sound they want since this gives a colored sound that makes it a pleasure to listen to. The accessories included are worth the money where the iems feel like a freebie instead haha. 

It is not without flaws, where we can see that Tangzu sacrificed driver quality for the accessories since it suffers in midbass tightness and air detail which could be a driver limitation since the Kuntens was able to do better in these aspects despite also being cheaper and having a single DD. 

The fit might also not be for everyone because of its huge shell but if it could fit your ears, it is comfortable with the sancai wide bore which I could wear for several hours. 

At the end of the day, the Red Lion isn’t about perfection it’s about warmth and value. It’s an IEM you reach for when you just want to sit back and enjoy your music without overanalyzing every detail.
