Product Reviews of Music Valley SP1

Head-Fi.org:

"If you are, for example - an iPod user looking for your first non Apple earphones that will show you what you have been missing, then these are a definite contender for your money. One final note from me is that for the past four years or so, I have been using IEMs that have cost three if not four times the price, and whilst the SP1 does not ultimately scare any of those into submission, I would be more than happy to use these particular IEMs out on the road??
Congratulations Music Valley, you have entered into the budget IEM arena with a highly recommended product."

"In terms of sound quality, the most apparent trait is a deep, prominent bass that can get your toes tapping easily, whether it be with dance / trance, rock, or even more simplistic material, there is nothing that phases the drivers in the SP1 ??quite an achievement at this price point, where they clearly show the likes of the Sony EX90 a clean pair of heels, this even despite the very modest 10mw recommended power input. Mids are rich, a slightly darker tone than that of the Shure E5x0, so if you like your vocals rich, and powerful ??these are going to need to be on your shortlist for a sub US$100 ?phone! ??What should be noted however, without EQ, these IEMs are very dark, with little treble extension ??Great if you?re after an IEM that is a cheaper version of the Shure E5x0, but if you like your treble to be zingy ??read below??"

Features of Music Valley SP1

The units, including the 11mm dynamic drivers, are custom made in-house and the drivers are rated at a very portable friendly 39ohms (with a frequency response of 10hz-20khz), and follow the traditional IEM stance, offer good isolation, and a great snug fit ??You definitely won?t worry about these falling out of your ears ??this is added to with what I can best envisage as a bass tuner that comes out from the main driver housing at a 90 degree angle, and slot into the ear perfectly.
