AFUL (not awful, get the jokes out of the way before you comment) Acoustics, the brand behind the innovatively engineered Performer 5 IEMs, today announced its latest product in the form of the aptly named MagicOne. This uses a single balanced armature driver paired with the brand's exceptional engineering team to make full use of previously developed and patented electrical crossover technology and acoustic tube optimization. AFUL says a resonator is placed in the pathway of the custom driver output to the way to increase the bass response and make the set sound like no other balanced armature driver ever before. The entire acoustic chamber is placed inside an ergonomically designed shell which should also aid in comfort and fit for most people interested. The AFUL Acoustics MagicOne launches today to coincide with China's 11/11 sales and can be had for $140 from HiFiGo. We will have a review sooner than later but initial impressions are extremely positive.

Funny names usually make a sound that you will never find in the mainstream :)

they will pair well with a Schiit amplifier I think
 
I was expecting 2 lcd monitors on sides of a human head.

I am not familiar with the term monitors for as pertaining to ears.

oddly I have a Schiit HEL 2E driving my moondrop S8's. I dont have any funny named IEMs but atleast I can relate to this.

I hate to say but you'll never run a foul of good ear buds and I dont see the difference here.

How about the part where these are not ear buds at all? Ear buds don't enter the ear canal, IEMs do. Plenty of good/great ones in both categories out there too.
 
There is a certain rule in naming your company if you want to taken seriously. Oh, and make sure you check the meaning in other languages. Pajero comes to mind...
 
IEMs with a single BA is quite unconventional in a market filled with single DDs and hybrids at this price point. The FR actually doesn't look that bad at all which is certainly impressive.

Yeah, you should see some of the company names for random electronics products on Amazon. It's like someone in China just put the English alphabet on a wall and threw darts at it to come up with a company name. SUNGUY, etguuds, MRGLAS, JXMOX are just to name a few.

Needless to say, I stay far away from anything with a weird company name.
