BASN ASONE 14.2mm Planar Driver in-Ear Monitors Earphone with Two Detachable MMCX Cables for Musicians Drummers Bass Players Singers(Black)

So full disclosure. This is my second pair. First pair the left monitor simply didn’t work. Amazon rectified that in 24 hours. So all good.Second pair works flawlessly so far.I’d taken a sojourn into the world of “true wireless” for a minute and I’m not proud. I had a whole range of in-ear buds (from the Sony wf1000xm4 and 5, and the BO Pi7, and the nura phones, various (terrible Beats Pro) etc). I lost my pretty decent Sonys 1000xm5 on a business trip 2 weeks ago and my Nuras are ok but heavy and uncomfortable for extended wear. I’d also been thinking about the relative health issues of having Bluetooth radio waves blasting my head all the time, and so the lost Sonys was the last straw. Decided to go back to wired…I’ll be honest. Wired is so much more annoying after 5 years without a wire. But holy moly is there nothing even close from a sound quality perspective. I’ve been running these for the last two days both directly from the iPhone 15 DAC (via a not great 3.5mm-USBc dongle) and also via the pretty good Fiio Hi resolution headphone amp. The headphone amp is worth the trouble as the ASones utilize planar drivers (vs more common dynamic) so they require a bit more power to drive them. They work fine just running off the phone amp, but lack a little bit of depth and volume. They are also consuming battery life very fast I’d forgotten about that.Briefly I compared them to my last pair of wired IEM, the excellent Shure SE425. I’ve used dozens of Shure IEMs over the years. I always like the 425 pros and at almost triple the price of the ASOnes they seemed atleast a reasonable benchmark. Long story short all of this is super subjective but the ASOnes sound better to me. Similar clarity, sparkly shimmering highs (but less fatiguing than the Shures) slightly warmer sound with a bigger soundstage and separation and much more convincing bass response. The Bass in the ASOne is actually impressive. Deep and punchy but still tight. Zero flab. Listening to the opening of the Dire Straits song Telegraph Road, the rolling thunder in the distance sounds convincingly, like rolling thunder in the distance. It’s impressive.The packaging as well done Makes them feel like a true luxury item. A Large sleeve over an inner box over an aluminum locking case. The case contains Two sets of low oxygen braided silver plated wires, variety of ear tips, cleaning tools and a small leatherette pouch. It remains to be seen how durable these are, but so far I’m extremely impressed.

The product arrived to me on time, the sound is excellent, you can feel both the treble and the bass, the cables are of very good quality. The hearing aids fit properly around the ear.

Got these for my boyfriend as a gift for Christmas. He was so excited. He uses them for performing on stage with the church worship team. He said they are extremely clear and he has no feedback issues or anything so far. He’s had them now for over 6 months and uses them weekly. Zero complaints! Loves the case as well.

Well packaged, quality cables but overall very responsive sound. Nice balanced across all frequencies.

Need custom tips or SPONGE tips to REALLY hear how good these are for the $$$.

There's always that desire for deep bass while also enjoying quality mids and highs. This IEM provides it all...all frequencies within the hearing range, the planar diaphragm pushes out a good amount of deep bass while also delivering very precise (in my opinion) mids and highs, with no noticeable distortion...Very enjoyable to listen to.

One side stopped working just past the point of return!!

I have only owned a few items, but I have bought and tried many. I got the KZ ZEX, Kinera BD005pro, the old monster copper's and klipsch R6's. Also the original tin hifi p1s. I also have hifiman sundaras and Beyer dynamics. So I got these in a whim as I was liking the KZs, but like most items there is just certain frequencies I cannot eq out and that hurt my ears and get fatiguing after awhile no matter how much eq I use.Right off the bat I can tell you these had the full spectrum of sound and I did not have to touch the eq! Not only was it the full spectrum but none of that fatiguing harshness or piercing frequencies I commonly hear and have to try and eq away. These sounded amazing flat and I have been rocking out to music I don't normally listen to like ALOT of pink Floyd and Fleetwood Mac. So I am simply running my cell phone to the FIIO BTR-7. I have tried both Bluetooth and USB using qobuz, but I am limited to 96/24. Switching to usbapp I can get the full 192/32 wired. Any of them simply sound fantastic I have the volumes all the way up and it's simply distortion free and plenty of volume. I did order a wired cable for the balanced 4.4mm output but right now the 3.5 unbalanced sounds incredible. I won't comment on the rest of the kit and accessories but I does have a very nice metal box but I'm not using anything else as I already had eartips I wanted to use. On a whim I did order the big brother to these just to see if there could possibly be any improvements but right now I'm hearing things and details I definitely never heard before especially on pink Floyd's pigs tracks. The bass is there, thigh highs are there and everything in between sounds amazing. Highly recommend these and skip the cheap stuff.

I am a huge fan of BASN in-ear monitors. Their cheapest Bsinger model is the hi-fi bargain of the century, and their Bmaster model was, up until I tried these, my favourite headphone ever. But I had a bit of spare money, and was intrigued to see how a planar magnetic sounded, so gave these a try...And now the Bmaster is my second-favourite headphone ever, because these have beaten it. They aren't night-and-day better than the Bmaster, but they seem to do a better job of resolving the smallest details in music - I have heard parts on these for the first time on albums I have listened to thousands of times, including on the Bmaster.In most respects, the sound is very similar to the Bmaster - very neutral sounding; decent but not overwhelming bass, and detailed but unfatiguing treble. BASN actually claim a slightly narrower frequency range for the ASONE compared to the Bmaster - 20-20k as opposed to 18-22k - but the differences are outside the range of human hearing, so not worth worrying about.These also come with the best set of accessories for any BASN IEM I have tried - all the usual tips and cables, but also both a leatherette carrying pouch and a big aluminium home storage box.The Bsingers are a great headphone; the Bmasters are even better. But if you can spare the extra cash for the ASONEs, you won't regret it.
