Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Sturdy Dual Dynamic earphones with Extra wide Soundstage and energic sound

 

The Brainwaz R3 are my second pair of dual dymamic earphones and when I bought them I have very high expectations. This gigantic earphones doesn't deceive me and i'm glad to have them in my ever growing IEM collection. First thing to know with this...

Over average wide soundstage, good instruments separation, detailed punchy energic sound

Kind of big and complicated to keep in place, sound isn't the most transparent, eartips change drastically the sound

Magic mids and interesting design

 

First of all I'd like to thank Brainwavz and Audrey for giving me a chance to check out the Brainwavz R3 IEM. The specs: Transducers/Drivers: Dual Dynamic, 10mm Crossover: Passive Rated Impedance: 32ohms Sensitivity: 95dB at 1mW Frequency range: 20Hz ~...

Fantastic midrange, great built, lots of accessories

Not for all kind of music, design not for everybody

Tough Build, Gentle Sound

 

Quick Summary: While these earphones have a really “unique” design to them, once you get over this, you will be rewarded with a beautifully balanced sound. I would put them on a similar tier as the very popular, and head-fi favorites Hifiman re400 and...

great balanced but slightly warm sound, wide soundstage, build

overbuilt, wide & long nozzle, large "unique" design

ExperiMentally Challenged

 

this one made me feel very sorry for giving ostry kc06a two stars. i'm really sorry if i hurt ostry's feelings with calling them bassweak. you can rediscover some of your treble activated songs with r3. but that songs must contain parts that really...

Lifelike treble, oh yeah. But ostry kc06a still has more treble detail & seperation so it's not that good.

No bass. Acoustics aren't bad but do not offer much too.

One more revision would do it...

 

Disclaimer: I would like to sincerely thank Salsera and Brainwavz for providing the sample R3 version 2.0 (R3v2) for this review. For most of my audio listening “career”, I was never a big fan of in-ear-monitors (IEMs) or earphone/earbuds, tending to...

Balanced sound; Extra-long memory wire gone; Reduced microphonics; Rugged driver housings

No memory wire; No over-ear bracket; Hard to keep seated; Grey cable a bit stiff

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

A beautifully euphonic sounding earphone, with some modest provisos.

 

The new iteration of the Brainwavz R3 is an intriguing earphone. They're large earphones, each side containing two dynamic drivers in big pill shaped aluminium housings. They currently retail for about $115, or £80. They look like fit would be an issue...

That sound...

Fit could be an issue for some, modest falloff of treble and bass could be an issue for some, although an advantage for others.

The Not-So-Little Jetpack that could.

 

Admittedly, I took far too long to post this review. I wanted to try a different approach that involved becoming accustomed to the signature followed by a period without them, and then a reintroduction. It's been about six weeks since I received the...

Durable build quality. Clear and non-fatiguing. Good overall balance.

Thick, rubbery cable. Two-faced bass. Long-term comfort
