Replaced by Astral. A more engaging Supernova, cleaner, with better sub-bass, and vocals. Very big stage and fantastic separation and layering. Vocals are airy without being too sharp. Lots of air/reminds me of the LTD. Mid-bass scoop can affect some libraries like HIPHOP and EDM, but perfect for indie/ballads/acoustics/intrumentals and slower songs.

A pronounced 5 kHz rise creates "fake detail" and flattens staging; EST treble is capable but masked unless EQ reduces 5 kHz and lifts 10 kHz. Attractive build with lively bass and a competent EST treble once EQ tames the 5 kHz emphasis. Pronounced 5 kHz peak causes fatigue and a flat, congested stage, with bass turning boomy at higher volume; needs EQ.
Youtube Video Summary

A 2DD + 2BA + 2EST hybrid around $700, Astrum follows a low 2 kHz dip to avoid shout then a pronounced 5 kHz rise to restore energy, which for sensitive listeners reads as "fake detail". The result is a bright spot in the wrong place: presentation turns flat, 2D, and congested, with female vocals pushed forward while nuance is missing. Bass from the dual 8 mm drivers is lively yet grows boomy as volume increases, masking the contribution of the EST drivers.

Midrange texture and resolution feel compressed and digital, failing to convey natural timbre; the upper end fares better once the 5 kHz emphasis is reduced, revealing a competent EST implementation. Without EQ to lower roughly 5 kHz and add some 10 kHz, the treble transition lacks smoothness and stage perception stays small and 2D. For listeners not bothered by 5 kHz it can sound present and fun, but for those who are, this tuning choice undermines technicalities and realism.

The BGVP Astrum is a tribrid IEM with a 2DD+2BA+2EST array, using a coaxial dual 8 mm dynamic module for lows, Knowles BAs for mids/highs, and Sonion ESTs for the ultra-treble. This configuration, along with a four-way crossover, targets a balanced, resolving presentation rather than sheer bass quantity.

Early coverage characterizes the tuning as smooth, coherent, and broadly versatile—more “balanced W-shaped” than aggressively V-shaped—delivering clarity and air without pronounced sibilance. It is also repeatedly noted as not for bassheads: bass is controlled and musical rather than maximal.

Build and accessories are a clear focus: the shells are lightweight with preserved-flower resin aesthetics, and the unboxing is unusually elaborate; the stock cable is a braided 0.78 mm 2-pin with 4.4 mm termination. At an MSRP of \$699, the Astrum competes in an increasingly crowded mid/upper-tier where its strengths are tonal refinement, treble openness, and overall technical polish rather than visceral slam.
