AUGLAMOUR RX
129
Greetings!Today we're checking out Auglamour's entry into the ear bud world, the RX-1.In my experience with the brand, Auglamour's products are well built, highly stylish, and provide an enjoyable sound, all while keeping costs well within reason. The RX-1 is no different & is probably my second favorite sản phẩm from the brand, just behind the excellent GR-1 amplifier. Let's check out why!Disclaimer:Thanks to đưa ra at Penon Audio for arranging a sample of the RX-1 for the purposes of review. The thoughts within this đánh giá are my own & do not represent Penon, Auglamour, or any other entity. There was no financial incentive provided khổng lồ provide a positive review or otherwise. At the time of this đánh giá the RX-1 retailed for 23.00 USD: https://penonaudio.com/auglamour-rx-1.html?search=auglamourSource:For at trang chủ use the RX-1 was powered by a TEAC HA-501 desktop amp with my asus FX53V laptop sourcing the beats. For portable use it was paired with an LG G5, F.Audio S1, HiFiMan MegaMini, or HiFi E.T. MA8, all of which easily brought it up khổng lồ listening volume. I found the RX-1 easy to drive và didn't feel the need to lớn amp it when used with my portable devices.
Personal Preferences:I listen primarily to lớn various EDM sub-genres (liquid drum & bass, breakbeat, drumstep, etc.), hip hop, và classic rock. While I enjoy a variety of signatures in my headphones I generally lean towards slightly warm with elevated treble & sub-bass, an even và natural mid-range response, with reduced mid-bass. The HiFiMan RE800, Brainwavz B400, and thinksound On2 offer examples of signatures I enjoy.Specifications: Taken from the manualDriver: 14.3mm dynamicImpedance: 15 +/- 3.5ΩSensitivity: 105dB
1KHzFrequency Response: 10Hz-20HzI have no idea how accurate these specs are since they vary greatly from site khổng lồ site, including Auglamour's own store where they have two different sets of specs listed. Your guess is as good as mine.Packaging và Accessories:The RX-1's packaging is very unique. It comes in a large jewel case, clasped shut via a large elastic band similar to lớn those you use to strap an amp khổng lồ your truyền thông media player. The RX-1 is mix within a thick wood block etched with the Auglamour branding and model information. Below is a trắng cardboard box containing the accessories. In all you get;RX-1 ear budsClamshell carrying case3 pairs of solid foams3 pairs of donut foamsShort clipAuglamour hình ảnh pendantPink/Blue elastic bandsThis is a good bit of kit, not just for the price, và a cool package unlike anything I've seen before. That said, my pics do not show the RX-1 phối within the wood block for a reason. When I get in a new product, I immediately thử nghiệm it out to make sure it works. When the RX-1 was first removed, they fit so snuggly in the cutouts in the wood block that I felt I was going to tear the cable apart. Once I managed to lớn get them out, they never went back I because the fit was so tight. This is a testament to the RX-1's build quality because I highly doubt 99% of products I've tested would have held up to lớn the amount of strategic tugging required lớn remove it from it's prison.
Build & Comfort:The RX-1's MIM shells are wonderfully crafted. The vents on the back are clean và precise, as are the details on the top. The way the cable feeds visibly through the stem is quite different, và adds some additional visual flair khổng lồ what is already a chất lượng looking ear bud. The only plastic is a small ring that surrounds the metal grill.It doesn't really match the aesthetically, but it's a minor concern at worst và is likely going to be covered by some foams which are necessary to get the most out of the RX-1.The cable is a bit of a mixed bag, but overall is pretty decent. On the plus side, it is extremely durable, as I found when trying lớn remove the RX-1 from the packaging. The jack and y-split are all metal with acceptable relief at the jack. Strain relief is absent everywhere else. Microphonics are present, but not too intrusive. The downsides are the cable is a little stiff and it has retained all the bends from when it was first released from it's packaging. It would probably straighten out with a bit of heat from a hairdryer.The RX-1's drivers are pretty small at 14.3mm meaning the face of the ear bud is very compact. The angle of the taper from the rear khổng lồ the front of the housing is fairly minimal too, letting the RX-1 rest very daintily in your ear. It's not the most secure fit, but the RX-1's slightly above average weight keeps it in place. It's overall exceptionally comfortable, with no sharp edges or spots that would cause discomfort. If you like to wear your buds over ear, you might need khổng lồ find some silicone ear guides so they stay in place. The relaxed taper means they aren't particularly stable when worn cable-up.Sound:Foams: Full foams made the RX-1 overly thick & congested. Donut foams helped improve clarity và maintained a solid cấp độ of bass but still felt slightly congested. Using the RX-1 naked makes them more mid/treble focused with a neutral bass response. I prefer them this way as it avoids the congestion issues heard when using foams.The RX-1 has a pleasant sound that is easy to lớn listen to over long periods Treble is well extended with smooth peaks that keep it from being overly bright or aggressive. It's a fairly detailed upper range too with the RX-1 sounding clean & crisp with the cymbals work and pianos on Supertramp's “School”. Airiness is lacking with foams, improving vastly without.The mid-range is typical ear bud; prominent. Vocals, both male and female, come through loud và clear with a pleasant weight and coherence. Timbre is quite satisfying with instruments sounding like they should. Guitars especially have a wicked crunch to them that makes metal a fun genre through the RX-1.Bass is slightly elevated with good depth. Sub-bass is quite prominent for an ear bud, especially one with a smaller than average driver, pending you're using foams. Without it tends to roll off early. It's well textured và quick with a speedy decay và plenty of attack. Throwing on foams makes them quite a bit bassier, pulling the RX-1 into v-shaped territory.Sound stage is smaller than average for an ear bud. When using foams, on particularly busy tracks the RX-1 sound congested. Running it foam không tính phí opens it up considerably. Imaging is accurate enough but not to lớn the point where I'd be using these for gaming. Layering is excellent giving off a good sense of depth. Separation is decent too, though using foams hinders this aspect significantly.The RX-1's signature changes significantly using foams, và as such I warrant anyone who picks these up lớn take some time lớn experiment to lớn make sure you're getting the sound you want out of them. Another thing to lớn note. Using them on the daily I never found myself wishing for a wider, deeper stage. Only once I started pitting them against other ear buds did the intimate nature of the RX-1's presentation really show itself as a negative.
Select Comparisons:HE 150Pro: The RX-1 has a more balanced signature with less low kết thúc emphasis & a more forward mid-range. It has a less full bodied sound than the 150Pro which sounds more lượt thích listening to a full-sized set of headphones, especially in the bass presentation which is more robust & engaging. The 150Pro's vastly superior sound stage also let individual instruments và effects breath, avoiding the congestion issues of the RX-1 when paired with foams. Even without foams, the RX-1 is the more closed in và intimate sounding of the two. The RX-1 requires significantly less power to lớn drive, which makes sense given the 150Pro is a 150ohm ear bud.The HE 150Pro is nicely made with metal shells and a quality braided cable. It has a bit of a DIY feel to it though, especially noticeable when comparing to the RX-1. The 150Pro's generic shells, glue filled y-split, and generic straight jack can't hold a candle to lớn the RX-1. I vì prefer the 150Pro's cable though since it has no microphonics, is very flexible, và displays no memory. Comfort is a pretty much a wash between the two. Maybe the RX-1 comes out on top due khổng lồ the smaller housings, making them more suitable to lớn a wider variety of ears.OURART Ti7: The Ti7 is somewhat mid-range focused. Despite feeling it has a fairly thick sound, it's leaner than the RX-1. Bass on the RX-1 digs deeper and has a similar impact. Treble on the Ti7 is smoother & more precise with greater definition and detail. He mid-range is much the same, with improve clarity. Sound stage on the Ti7 is much larger as well, bless with more accurate imaging, depth lớn it's layering, and greater instrument separation. It requires more power khổng lồ drive than the RX-1, but not nearly lớn the extent of the 150Pro.The Ti7 is one of the more unique looking và well built ear buds I've come across. So is the RX-1. Materials, fit, và finish are about even with the RX-1 getting the nod. It's thiết kế is more complicated. Much like the 150Pro, the Ti7's cable is a step up; limited cable noise, great flexibility, no memory, better strain relief, chin cinch, carbon fibre infused jack, etc. Etc. It's a great cable. Fit handily goes to lớn the RX-1. The Ti7's housings are thick, angular, và in the right position can poke your ears causing discomfort.Final Thoughts:The RX-1's sonic performance isn't class leading but it's plenty enjoyable and fair for the price. It also fits in with what I think this product does best; act as a daily driver. This bud is small, comfortable, & durable. It's the type of ear bud you toss in your bag or pocket without worry, pulling them out when you have a moment lớn listen lớn some tunes. You pop them in your ears fuss-free & can get them up to lớn volume with ease using your phone, DAP, or whatever you happen to be using as a source. While they vị not isolate at all, their physically forward presentation helps keep the music in the forefront, sitting ahead of all the noise of the world around you. I can't think of a single ear bud in my collection that does that as well as the RX-1.Thanks for reading!- B9Scrambler

Pros: Excellent Sound & Build quality
REVIEW: Auglamour RX-1
Specifications Driver: 10mm Dynamic driver Sensitivity: 110dBImpedance: 15 ΩFrequency: 10-25kHz Price: ~U$D 24. Available in 3 colors: Black, silver & gold. 
Accessories 6 pairs of foam pads (3 regular và 3 donut)Carry caseClip2 silicone wristbands & metal logo sản phẩm (if you điện thoại tư vấn these ‘accessories’) 
Design The design on the RX-1 earbud is both very solid and elegant at the same time. Build quality and finish is excellent, with zinc alloy material on the shells, y-split and straight plug. With a dynamic transducer of 10mm, the shells are quite compact and sit very well & flush in the ears. They may not look as having a special ergonomic shape, và feel a bit heavy in hands, but in practice they are very comfortable (even more with foam pads). The cable is thick enough và a bit springy but behaves well and doesn’t tend to tangle with ease. 
Sound Quality The overall sound is very natural with excellent cấp độ of clarity and resolution. It's full and very detailed in each frequency without sounding too flat as analytical earphones can be. The tuning on RX-1 is excellent, with a slight addition of warmth which makes it very musical & engaging, yet putting the detail as a high priority. The bass has strong presence. While not huge in quantity, it's still more than the usual earbuds have. Very tight & controlled, with a surprising great extension and speed. Sub bass has good impact and reaches a good depth if properly paired. Bass boost from the Cayin C5 or NX5 amplifiers works as wonder on the RX-1 without losing in body or texture. Foam pads are recommended, và personally I find the donut style pads to be enough. The fullness of the sound is more obvious when getting into the midrange regions, mimicking a larger headphone rather than the standard small earbuds. The whole midrange has very good clarity & incredible detail, sounding very xuất hiện and very transparent. The transparency doesn't immediately translates in being picky on source, though the distant & forwardness of the sound depends a bit of the source in play. The Zen 2.0 with its 300ohm impedance is more lively & dynamic if properly matched, & also more aggressive, while the RX-1 is relatively flatter all the way. Despite the delicate warmth on the RX-1, it still lacks the lushness & liquidity of something lượt thích the Shozy Cygnus, especially in the vocals department, but the RX-1 has the upper hand on terms of separation by a very small margin. Treble extends extremely well with a fine texture and micro detail that rivals much more expensive sets. It has a slight analytical touch, not too bright but yes very effortless and open. Sparkly và never harsh or sibilant, tough can be too airy và clinical than just natural through a bright source such as the C5 amp or Amp-S. The presentation is impressive as well. Stage doesn't sound small or close at all, but is not unnaturally wide, rather very natural in size with good layering & imaging. Very good in terms of dynamics as well & the whole sound is quite effortless. 
Value? Truly outstanding! From design & build unique to fit & comfort, and most importantly in pure sound quality that scores way higher than its low price would suggest, the RX-1 is simply perfect. While most of the earphones available at this price (which also sound good) usually use a very generic và large (and at times cheap) design, Auglamour put some extra effort in the RX-1 and made one of the earphones that simply deserves the ‘best value’ award. It’s probably the easiest earbud lớn recommend that not just does not compromise with anything, but also sounds great.
