AME Mousa VS Canpur CP622B

Youtube Video Summary

AME Mousa goes all-in on extravagance: a 15-driver array (BA stack plus two bone conductors) in a massive, impeccably finished shell with a faceplate that hints at Damascus-steel swirls. The $4,500 package feels ultra-premium—weighty presentation box, desk display case, metal tip cards (fancy but a bit fiddly), and a tidy stock cable that looks good yet lacks a chin slider. Fit will depend on ear size: the shells are very thick and heavy, though ergonomics and finish are smooth. Overall unboxing and build scream luxury.

Sonically it hits a warm, energizing V-shape with impactful bass, dynamic highs, and full-bodied vocals; sibilance is minimal and the set shines at higher volumes. Tuning isn’t neutral—expect a 1 kHz dip and lively 4–6 kHz energy—so it thrills more than it analyzes, and can edge toward fatigue over marathon sessions. Versus peers, it feels richer and more rambunctious than neutral “meta-target” options (think Storm/K4 style sets), less air-starved than darker tunings like CP622B, and more bass-driven than something like Annihilator while not as modular or chameleon-like as Grand Maestro. The takeaway: a specialist, endgame-flavored IEM for listeners chasing slam, note-weight, and engagement over strict neutrality—highly enjoyable if the price and shell size aren’t deal-breakers, and best auditioned first given its bold fit and flavor.

Youtube Video Summary

Canpur CP622B makes a striking first impression with a premium case, tidy accessories, and a shimmering faceplate—but the shell is huge, bordering on chunky, and can push fit comfort limits over longer sessions. Sonically, it hits with authoritative sub-bass and impressive extension, yet the overall presentation skews dark; vocals sit a touch recessed, with a wish for more 1.5–3 kHz presence and a bit more upper-air sparkle. Out of the box it already thumps, but a light EQ lift to upper mids and bass can coax out more vibration and energy.

On graphs and in A/Bs, the CP622B comes off as a specialist: fantastic low-end texture (bass judged around 9.5 for level), solid resolution and stage, but imaging feels slightly constrained by the muted 3 kHz region. Compared with peers, FATfreq Grand Maestro reads like the safer “one-and-done” all-rounder with more flair up top; Aful Cantor delivers comparable presence at a fraction of the cost; Hisenior Mega5-EST Bass offers a friendlier fit and a tuning that can feel just a hair more balanced; and as a personal north star, Elysian Annihilator 2023 still sets the bar for extension and excitement. Net: a fantastically built, bass-thrilling CP622B that shines with hip-hop/R&B and cinematic lows, but reads as niche and pricey—a connoisseur’s piece for big collections rather than a first-pick endgame.

Youtube Video Summary

Canpur CP622B is positioned as a true apex set among today’s ultra-high-end IEMs—think Storm, Grand Maestro, Pearl, Multiverse, RN6—where differences are subtle and taste-dependent, not about basic quality. The message is simple: once at the Money Trees level, most flagships are excellent; the CP622B stands out by pushing resolution and authenticity to the top of that pile while keeping music the focus.

Evaluation leans on a tight suite of reference cues: bass definition via Black Sabbath “Sweet Leaf” (2:36–3:10), midrange texture with Soundgarden “Spoonman” (spoons/vocals) and Neil Young “The Needle and the Damage Done,” and treble control from Aerosmith “No More No More” (recurring cymbal strikes). Micro-details and spatial tells include Michael Jackson’s beep, Violent Femmes finger snaps, the crowd-side triangulation in Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird,” Pink Floyd’s gate announcement in “On the Run,” Randy Rhoads’ finger slide in “Dee,” and the famous cough in “Wish You Were Here.” These checkpoints spotlight the CP622B’s clarity, attack/decay, and rare sense of depth for an in-ear.

Two practical notes seal it: level-matched A/B at 77 dB @ 440 Hz versus Subtonic Storm to ensure fair comparison, and a low-frequency test around ~42 Hz that makes the shells physically vibrate, delivering that body-felt slam prized in hip-hop and recognized in orchestral power. With a library spanning ACDC, Alice in Chains, Bob Marley, Dre, Kendrick, Metallica, Pink Floyd and more, CP622B reads as a top-tier all-rounder—immense detail at low volumes, potentially intense when cranked, and an easy recommendation for those chasing the very best.
