HiFiGo AFUL MagicOne Single BA Driver in-Ear Monitors, 1BA IEMs in-Ear Earphones with Revolutionary SE-Math Acoustic Technology (3.5mm)

The AFUL MagicOne is a very compelling product in its price bracket, and I'd say that it stands toe-to-toe with other IEM's in its price bracket, particularly the Truthear Nova that I own. In regards to sound signature, I'd describe these as warm neutral with a slight treble boost. Compared to the Nova, they certainly have a more relaxed and smooth presentation with more emphasis in the lower and upper mids rather than sub-bass. Although the MagicOne has a more relaxed sound signature, they are definitely engaging to listen to, particularly because the treble has just enough energy to bring vocals and cymbals to life without ever feeling sibiliant and produce that "shimmer" in treble that I find hard to describe.I am very impressed by the overall build: the clear resin they're made of feel substantial, and it's a treat getting to see the internal acoustic tubing connected the single BA driver housed inside. They are smaller than the Nova and have an extremely comfortable and secure fit in my ears, especially with the SpinFit W1's that I paired them with.I have also had a great experience to their seller, HiFiGo. I bought these recently for full price and noticed a couple days later that a 15% discount appeared. I messaged the seller to see if I could get the discount applied retroactively, and they immediately did with no questions asked! I'm very happy with the product and the customer service.

These are good-looking and well-made IEMs at the $100 mark. For that price, it comes with a soft twisted cable and a hard circular case. The various tips ensure that the IEMs will fit most ears, and most people will be happy with the neutral sound. I use these for listening on my laptop when I am at a desk where I don't want to bother others. Great for listening to music or watching videos, the MagicOne has both excellent sound and comfort.

Single BA headphones are a rarity these days. This one is tuned impeccably, and is extremely comfortable. It is perfect for those who want the speed and resolution of a BA with 100% coherency across the frequency spectrum (since there's only one driver).Bass doesn't hit as hard as a DD (but nobody should expect it to), but has great transparency. Mids are highly detailed and almost holographic (great for vocals). Highs are smoothed a bit, but with clear definition on transients.Also, they're comfortable and the cable is quite nice.Easy recommendation at the price. All the other single BA sets that are tuned well cost over twice as much.

I would generally consider these against the other absolute monster of the $100-150, the Simgot EM6L. The two have their strengths, but these make a very compelling argument.For starters, they're gorgeous. like, holy crap they're stunning to look at, you can see the reflex chamber tubing, the PCB controlling the BA, the single little BA itself in there, and the outer shell is just stunning. Compared to the Simgot, which is bland as heck and the shells are fingerprint magnets, hands-down these winThey also fit incredibly, with two caveats: you have to like the semi-custom molded shape (I very much do) and the stock eartips really made them oddly uncomfortable for me, and I have insanely average size and shape ears. I had to go with a much shallower tip - something like fiio's tips or TRN T tips. The nozzles are quite long and any deeper of a tip just pushed them far enough out that the semi-custom shell wasn't great. But eartips are such a personal subject that I can't mark it down. More tips would not have gone amiss though. The simgot have a more neutral shape and smaller shells, so if you have small ears, they're the winner. Both have a nozzle with no flange, so tips need to be picked carefully, as some aftermarket tips can slip off. No issue with the factory ones though.The cable matches them well, I am a fan of the four-wire weave. I prefer the Simgot's 2 wire twist, it's just lighter and softer, but again, no complaints. It works great. and I prefer the 0.78 non-recessed 2 pin to the QDC style of the simgot.They're both a little harder than you'd expect to drive, but the em6L are easier. the Magicone's do prefer a little more grunt than something like an apple dongle can put out, but my laptop's jack and my steam deck as my weakest generic sources, they don't sound thin or weak. I will say that if your audio source has a little bit of a hissy noise floor (which I'm INSANELY sensitive to) the magicone's have enough impedence to iron that out almost completely. They do take about 25% more volume than the EM6L's.As for the sound, these really are something truly special. One single custom designed balanced armature with a custom reflex chamber behind it. I cannot begin to describe how FAST these are. like holy. mother. of. god. They remind me of a planar magnetic without the planar tamber (which I actually quite like, but some people don't) . They also don't have BA tamber, either. None of that sharpness in the treble. The treble is smooth and crystal clean. Bass decay is lightning fast. I'd call the sound signature quite neutral, leaning a HAIR warm. The bass is maybe it's "weakest" part, but that's nitpicking. They're not bassy. They don't struggle with recreation, but they are lacking a tiny bit of weight that a planar or dynamic can throw. They're just clean and natural. Compared to the Simgot's, the EM6L is more musical, spacious and layered. It's a little brighter with a tiny bit of BA tamber, but the layering and separation are just on another level. The Aful's are fairly intimate, though not claustrophobic. Imaging itself is superb between them. Both put instruments right where it should be. But when pieces get complicated, the EM6L separates each instrument noticeably better. I'm a huge sucker for great soundstage, but many people are not. The EM6L is warmer and bassier, with more weight behind that bass, though slower on its feet. It just feels softer and more musical since it has a dynamic and multiple BA's to divide up the labor, whereas the Aful is more precise and clean and neutral, and arguably a bit more cohesive since it has only one driver (there is merit to single driver setups). If you listen to heavily vocal-centric music, the Aful's would win hands down. I listen to practically nothing with vocals, however. But the mids in the Aful is again, so natural and clean.If you want a basshead pair of IEM's in this range, just get the Seeaudio Rinko's. They're literal fun incarnate. If you want a gaming pair, I would say they're both excellent, very accurate imaging. If you like spacious soundstage and more musical presentation and can tolerate a bit brighter treble, the EM6L is the winner. If you want a stupid fast, accurate, balanced and clean sound, the MagicOne is an insanely compelling set. I'd say the Aful's are better for longer listening sessions too.Personally, I prefer the EM6L for most of my listening and gaming. They're truly unbeatable for the money as all-rounders. But there is something insanely compelling about the Aful's. Something very satisfying about their uncanny speed and super cohesive, natural sound. From a single freaking BA. I still reach for them all the time when I'm gaming. I'm giving these a 4 star, but it's really closer to a 4.5.Unless you're a basshead, I just can't see a single reason to not recommend them. If these were under $100, they'd be an absolute market dominator. If you have a bunch of IEM's already, these really do have something unique to offer that's worth looking into.

Amazing sound coming out of single driver. I got the 4.4 balance version. Great cable a little thick but premium feel.They look great. They sound great. Well made iem. I even like the ear tips.

Performance is amazing. Bass gets low they get plenty loud. Build quality is also amazing fits perfectly in my ear, the only con witch isnt bad is it has a tendency to pull on the ear every so slightly but not a big deal. I attached the wire to my shirt to fix this "issue" there surprisingly super light. And u most definitely get what u paid for good value. Paird up with a good USB c DAC u really feel the difference.

I have several iems but just looking for one that lets me enjoys the singer i like to hear sing… 64 years old and I started with Stevie Nicks and Linda Ronstadt and boy were they sweet to hear🥰… watched lots of reviews and thought i would give these iems a chance… if you like to hear woman from the 70s sing these are fun to listen with!

Amazing what well engineered craftsmanship and planning does for tuning, especially in the case of a SINGLE driver, a BA no less!! It really works and if you can get these at $99, you're killin' it. The cable is EXCELLENT and I wish it was just out there on Amazon sold separately.

My ears love the fit and sound. These are the ones for me.
