BINARY Acoustics X GIZAUDIO Chopin - The Hybrid market just got Richer!

- GizAudio has just released a new collaboration IEM called the Chopin.
The deal was done with Binary Acoustics, a brand that is better known in the Chinese market.
But let's talk about the Chopin, it's a 1+3 hybrid in a shell that astheticaly will generate divergent opinions, but in terms of fit, it's flawless, the long noozle length being probably the main reason for that.
The rest of the build is solid enough and where it not for the lackluster accessories, cable and carry case , the Chopin would get full marks .
As for sound I can only praise it, as the balance struck between the frequency spectrum balance, the technical capabilities and the musicality is exemplary and a testament to the hard work that was put into the Chopin.
It's got a tuck style bass , to emulate that subwoofer feel , although that does not mean the Midbass is sacrificed.
Mids, so vocals and instruments have almost perfect , timbre and tonality, resolution, clarity, and whatever minor flaws that can occasionally occur are easily mitigated by the lush musicality that is obtained from the Chopin.
The treble is sweet as honey and matches the rest of the performance easily.
Technically the Chopin is highly competent with the take away message being , that it does everything you expect for the price and more, going so far as surprising me when I compared it to way more expensive IEMs.
Overall the Chopin definitely becomes one of my recs if you are entering the Sub 200usd market for a hybrid, although having said that, if you own a Aful Performer 5, the Chopin is not an upgrade, but more of a slightly different flavour of excellent!

I feel like you have every iem. It's super cool how you always have multiple ones to compare.
the thanos of IEMs fr. every penon set, everything. He is a god send xd Collection is crazy
They send him everything for advertising I think
@@VSN-wb2ly He did say in a video that he buys pretty much 90% of sets he reviews and buys multiple copies at times to test for QC issues.
He also makes his own IEM's. IMO he is the best reviewer on CZcams.
Waiting for the Truthears Nova..I know it has to be in TonyTex’s queue.
As well as the gk20
Let's goooooo hype trains! Awaiting the Truthear Nova comparison very soon 😏
Thanks for the review. I had the same gripes about the cable, glad you pointed it out.
I've heard most of the IEMs in this roundup. The Phoenixcall was fun, thumpy bass, clear mids, treble was a bit splashy at times but not enough to bother me. Kara had good mids and highs, but the bass was a bit pillowy and was definitely the weak part of the IEM. They have interesting aesthetics though and I could see someone with not much experience with IEMs really liking them. I own and love the Yume 2. Yet to hear the Volume. The Hexa sounds like a entry level version of a Blessing 3. I prefer the Truthear Zero blue to the Red. I felt that the Red sounds too close to so many other IEMs without doing anything to really stand out, while the original blue version legitimately sounds different from other IEMs with that separated sub woofer effect. Chopin immediately grabbed my attention with it's bass. It reminded me a lot of the OH10S in that aspect. Unfortunately unlike the OH10S, the treble on the Chopin had a small peak somewhere that gave me that BA timbre effect so I am staying with my OH10S.
Would you consider phoenixcall to be macrodynamics and imaging monster or is it on the average side? Which other set(s) do you consider to be really good in that area plus fun sounding?
So the question is, does that 3-5% of extra sparkle = $100-150 more than the 50 you'll pay for the Zero. Another thoughtful, objective review!
Great comparison and review TonyTex. Not in the market for any Harmanish IEMs atm. Thank you for all of your hard work. Kudos..!
Thank you!!!
Been looking at these, the Truthear Nova, and the Hidizs MP145. Leaning in the direction of the Hidizs but it doesn’t ship until mid November 😢
Lots of interesting iems being released recently. Hope u get to review all of them
Totally, totally correct regarding depth of insertion, overall seal and the improvement in sound is truly enormous. That's why for less well designed shells and nozzle lengths, choice of tips can make or break sound performance. I may have to buy these purely on the strength of design and insertion.
Sounds like their very own D2 Outtro but with more treble. Would you be able to compare them?
Great review as always! However, perhaps I may ask whether the Chopin is considered an upgrade or sidegrade to the Galileo?
Thank you very much for this review Akros, looking at your comparisons and graphs, I definitely know now that I don't have to get the Chopin.
Awesome review Mr Tony 😊
Great, detailed review as always Tony! Thanks!
Great review! I have the P5s and enjoy them. I guess I will save my $$.
So glad i pulled the trigger on the choppin, it was a toss up between choppin and truthears nova, and possibly the simgot em6L
So was it really a good choice?? No regrets?
If you given a chance to pick again .. will you still pick choppin?
Just curious 🤔🤔🤔
The point you made about deep insertion being better is true. It makes me wonder why more companies do not make longer nozzles.
Great video review
@Akros : I have the Questyle M15 which I would like to improve a little, do you recommend combining it with the topping nx7? Thx
Tony , you are great , passonate and the most informative reviewer on YT.
Yume 2 or Chopin...which one is easier to drive , and what's your preference between these two?
What type of cable would you recommend for the Chopin (in terms of material)? Especially to give back a bit of lushness to the mids?
Have you ever considered becoming a hand model?👌
wow what is that red cable on the bottom middle??
Hello Akroz, i am getting Celest PhoenixCall 100% now it sounds like its a beast of an IEM, Is stock cable good or do you recommend an upgrade lets say Kinera Ace ? Thanks!
You have to compare it with the upcoming Truthear Nova! They graph very similar and seems like the main competition in this new crop of iems. And seems like it will cost 50$ less... $200 for the Chopin seems too much... Against em6l and quintet how would you compare and rank it?
Somebody else on yt has compared them. He said nova is more detailed but Chopin is more correct and more fun sounding.
@@Mykeoguns yes but i'd like to have akros opinion
Can you provide a link for the blue cable on the iem in the middle ?
Did you get the name of the yume2 cable yet the beautifull one?
what about juzear clean here? is it the same?
Saber 3 vs EA1000 which one to pick?
It's my first time buying an IEM I'm looking for anything good under 40 Canadian dollars. For Mostly edm songs and gaming use
Look at the KZ Castor the non Bass Version.
Also the Tanchjim One with DSP great choice.
I found on ali a company that makes round sticker filters . But with a compressed wool like the sponge filters. But compressed for iem nozzles. They do the same as the sponge inside . And they small. And don't get wet like the filters from alina type.
Can you send me link please
@akros9333 can't copy the link from the app. But I copy the text. Once you you type the name on ali the first on the left will be the one. .........type the name below.......
100pcs 3.7mm-5mm DIY Earphones Tuning Mesh Pads Dustproof Speaker unit Tuning Mesh Cover......
I notice that sponge filters are good for dd iems only because the ba in the nozzle prevents from that long sponge filters. Some of them they too small, and they fall inside . That's why I get sponge filters with 5mm by 6mm and I have the 4mm too. And for the filters in the nozzle I have all Mesh and y forms and I notice if I place 2 filters in the nozzle the sound gets muffled even if the tuning is correct. And for all my iems I place a filter like mele that is around 150 Mesh to 200 Mesh in the nozzle because of sweat. Now, what I notice is even if the iem has one dd driver. Some of the nozzle filter makes them sound bad. Like the sonus, or simgot 500. So sponge is better. But in the simgot 200 they sound better with filter in the nozzle. But then I have to place like a 500 Mesh that really sounds like a 300. So for this reason I try all filters because it's a lucky strike. Some sound better with sponge. Some with nozzle filter and now with this new filters that I spoke to you about. Bow I can have the same effect as sponge but on the filter . And they cool. Once you click them you can see sizes from 3.5 mm to 5mm and they have low,médium amd high density . Is like a compressed filters. Cheap as hellp. 100 filters for 5 dollars or less. You should try that. Keep my posted buddy
Compared to the Juzear 41T?
Out of all the sets compared to Chopin on here which one has more amount of imaging, macro-detail and staging?
I would say Volume
Thanks Mr Tony 😊
Which cable is that on the yume II and which eartips?
Cable is a NiceHCK although iVIPQ and XINHs have same one
Tips are kbear 07
Will find links for them if you want
@@akros9333 yeah links would be awesome.
What if i buy Celest PHEONIXcall. And eq it Chopin from 20hz to 6khz.
Is better buy than Chopin?
I will use Apple dongle
Celest is an amazing set and I guess a little EQ can improve the bass, although remember the driver of the Chopin is a better driver .
@@akros9333 got it thanks
How does the Chopin Vs the galelio?
Chopin is a more balanced IEM. Galileo is good but it needs a little more treble to be perfect.
@@akros9333 can eq help with the galelio? I just ordered the galelio because it seems like to be suitable to my playlist.
This is my first IEM but I already own headphones. Hd600.
The galelio accessories were much nicer.
Feel like reviewer collaborations are this hobbies demise. It's killing it for me. Can't have honest reviews when there's bias.
Pangit ng shell at cable mukhang cheap parang hindi gizaudio. Not worth considering
Looks kinda ugly
what devices u use dac usb dongle i have 3 imes i can feel any diffrence sound and quality why ?? seeaudio yume trn t3 s12 pro i play music hi res on ibasso dc3pro ??? need help
yes thats why i dont like cheap chi iem i like mid range too high end iem which i cant afford only few laters
