Nohon NM101

ø10mm Dynamic Driver

$10~$15
3.5/5.0

The first and the only set of earphones (to this day) by Nohon, a quality mobile accessories manufacturer. They sound clear and pretty precise, even warm and pleasant, but they won't suit you if you're listening to a lot of EDM, because their bass is very limited and is prone to distortion.

Pros

  • The mids are pleasantly clear and the highs are gentle.
  • A very nice design and build quality.

Cons

  • The bass isn't sufficient and isn't accurate and sounds pretty struggling.
  • A flat cable is always a bad idea. They are usually less durable than normal cables.

Lows / Bass

The bass isn't very accurate, and is actually struggling with deep bass content. The bass shaker test failed with a lot of distortion.

Mids / Vocals

The mids are warm enough to be full and enjoyable. Vocals may sound slightly too bright sometimes.

Highs / Treble

The highs are sharp and the level of detail is great. Could be slightly too sharp sometimes.
