We’ll dive more into this in the listening section, but suffice it to say: tribrids are popular for a good reason. Changing when and how much each is firing impacts the timbre, or natural sound, of each note being played.

While single dynamic driver configurations are great for delivering a cohesive sound, every driver type sounds slightly different.
GUITAR HERO LIVE XBOX ONE DONGLE DRIVERS
Mixing drivers can be a boon to tuning, and is certainly the case here (more on that later). There is some overlap there, but the design is fundamentally focused on allowing the drivers to avoid any kind of distortion from being pushed outside of their sweet spots, and to allow HBB and Yanyin more latitude for tuning. In this case, the dynamic driver covers the bass, the balanced armatures covers the mids and highs, and the electrostatic drivers cover the highs and ultra-highs. The drivers are tuned to cover a particular range - which is fitting, because it allows the drivers to specialize and hone in on a particular band that they perform well in. The entire frequency response range is broken across the seven drivers in each earpiece using an electronic crossover. Those are both extraordinary and expensive IEMs, priced in the same region as the Mahina.
This arrangement puts it in competition with the likes of the Mangird Xenns Up and Theiaudio Oracle. The ESTs are a specialized and expensive driver and virtually any IEM that includes one (a real one) is expensive. It features a single 10mm biodynamic driver, four Knowles balanced armatures, and two European Sonion electrostatic drivers (ESTs for short). The Mahina isn’t your average single dynamic driver IEM or even a hybrid of balanced armatures and dynamics. It retails for $649, which is unquestionably expensive, but that price deserves its proper context. Somehow, the Mahina is the first I will actually be able to try for myself, but it’s safe to say his others - the Olina and Mele - have been veritable hits within the community.įor the most part, they’ve been on the affordable side, but the HBB x Yanyin Mahina joins the Kinda Lava in targeting the mid-fi market. Knowing his tastes tend to align with my own, I’ve kept a close eye on his collaborations. I’ve been a regular viewer for upwards of two years now. His straightforward way of expressing his feelings, and the complete lack of vagueness, allow his reviews to be clear and reproducible. Collab IEMs, overall, feel like a safer bet because you know, or can know, the person tuning them.īad Guy Good Audio Reviews has grown to become one of the leading voices in the audio community. By turning to influencers to help tune their products, IEM manufacturers have been leveraging the “on the ground” experience of some of the most well-respected voices in the community. And overall, it’s been a good thing for consumers. HBB x Yanyin Mahina - First Impressions and Key FeaturesĬollaborations: that’s been the name of the game over this last year in the ChiFi scene.
