100+ Head-Fier
Pros: Fit is comfortable and relatively easy
Shell size is on the small-medium size
Fantastic Unboxing experience
Beautifully different design, it’s very distinctive
The included cable and carry case are very well-made
Bass is a step above others in it’s class
Bass texture, impact, and depth are all very satisfying
Mids are clean, clear, and open
Treble has great extension
The sound stage while not the widest, is definitely spacious
Resolution and detail retrieval are befitting of the price bracket

Cons: The reflective finish on the faceplate is incredibly scratch-prone
The nozzle/stem is on the shorter side, which may cause issues with some users
Pentacon connectors, your 2 pin cables are useless with this set!
Tuning is a bit on the safe side
I would like a little more treble zing after 10k (Subjective)
Dynamics are slightly lacking

GoneToPlaid
The MagicOne's single BA driver can be driven to physical clipping. In other words, the MagicOne is not an IEM to listen to at really high volume levels. What instead makes the MagicOne really special as a very relaxing or chill pill IEM is that the MagicOne has a relaxed BA sound for the bass and that the MagicOne adds a very nice ethereal nature to the sound of whatever music which you are listening to. I used to think of the Truthear Hola as a very relaxing "chill pill" IEM. Yet the MagicOne tops the Hola in this regard since the MagicOne is the first IEM which I actually fell asleep to while listening to it.

Nice review but I would somewhat disagree on your soundstage assessment. For a closed back it seems very wide to me. I listen to some Dolby remixes and it really shines but even with a good stereo recording to m4 does have a decent width to it.
hokagoteatimereviews
Hello, thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it
Yeah I sort of agree on the soundstage, one thing I forgot to mention is that I dont use much headphones at all. This is like my only 4th headphone personally using it.
So I don't really have a good gauge on what's a good soundstage for closed back headphone. I guess i compared them to similarly priced iems here.
Sorry for the confusion.

Looking at your pictures, I realized I absolutely adore everything about this set... except the tuning (it's not an all-rounder). I mean, in comparison, the Monarch Mk III is so disappointing in terms of its presentation, and it costs how much, I'm sorry? ... I guess this one really pushes my buttons, it's so tasteful. Good job, @HiByMusic and FAudio, nonetheless, this one's a beauty. Despite it not being my cup of tea tuning-wise, I'm happy that such tuning experiments still exist, it shows that people have still have original ideas and not everything is done purely for guaranteed profit.

Thanks a lot for the review!
I evaluate IEM's with this type of tuning in the mid bass, lower mids, and higher mids preferrably by listening to specific violins who's sound, timbre, and unique standing waves I know in and out. In general, violins are IMHO the perfect instrument for these frequencies since their natural FQ ranges from ~200 Hz up to 3500 Hz (with the highest artificial harmonics even up to 4,700 Hz), so they're my tool of choice.
So far, what you wrote keeps me thinking positive and in anticipation, my DaVinci should arrive next week... finger's crossed.

@droid23 Thanks for your thoughtful response! I agree, violins are excellent for judging sound quality due to their wide frequency range and distinctive timbre. I also enjoy using them to test IEMs, particularly in classical music, and I'm a big fan of Lindsey Stirling. Additionally, I have a special fondness for cellos—I'd recommend trying out some cello pieces with the DaVinci; it sounds incredible. I'm glad my review has you feeling positive and excited. Fingers crossed that your DaVinci lives up to your expectations! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts once they arrive.
atechreviews
@vietzerg To me, the DaVinci has both more bass quantity and superior bass quality compared to the IE600. The DaVinci’s bass offers greater slam, impact, punchiness, and texture, with more detail. It also has better bass definition, clarity, and separation. Additionally, the bass is more tactile, allowing me to feel it as well as hear it most of the time. This is my opinion based on my preferences. IE600 is still a great IEM.
