Tripowin x HBB Mele: The Best So Far

The video is in Arabic.

Hey everyone,

The Tripowin x HBB Mele is a collaboration between Tripowin and reviewer HBB (the Bad Guy Good Reviews channel), and one of the best IEMs under $100. A single 10 mm dynamic driver, 16 ohm and 109 dB sensitivity according to the company, and a 0.78 2-pin connector. It was about $50 at the time of the review.

Who is it for?

• Anyone who wants to get into IEMs, or wants the best IEM around $50. It’s the number one I recommend.

Strengths

• Excellent separation, a wide and deep soundstage, and excellent layering.
• Detail and micro detail are excellent.
• The sub-bass is strong with excellent quality and detail, and excellent control.
• The mids are balanced, vocals are relaxed with no aggression, and it’s one of the best IEMs for string instruments.
• The treble is smooth and comfortable, with no harshness or sibilance.
• Really comfortable: I used it for eight hours straight without fatigue, and isolation is very good.

Weaknesses

• The nozzle is a bit short, and you need to seat it well in your ear for the best isolation and performance.
• When a song has a lot of sub-bass, it covers some mid-bass details.
• With a warm source (like the iFi iDSD Signature) the sound gets too warm.

Verdict

It’s become one of my favorite IEMs, and it’s really worth $100. It runs from a phone, but I recommend a simple dongle. It performs best on a neutral source like the FiiO M11 Plus LTD.
