EPZ P50 VS 7hz x Crinacle Divine

Youtube Video Summary

7Hz x Crinacle Divine takes the familiar planar recipe and refines it. The shell is vented, comfortable, and highly isolating, with a flat 2-pin that makes cable swaps easy. The stock cable is 3.5 mm-only, chunky, and a bit memory-prone but usable, and the included case is surprisingly premium. Overall build and fit are faultless at the price.

Tonally, this is a fun, slightly V-shaped planar with thick, satisfying bass that avoids the pillowy feel many expect at this price. The midrange is clean and well-judged (occasionally a touch edgy on some tracks), and the treble brings air and sparkle without harsh peaks. Crucially, it sidesteps the usual planar “cat-ear” spikes around 2–5 kHz, focusing its energy closer to 3 kHz for presence that’s vivid yet controlled. Technicals hit the planar checkboxes—speed, separation, and an expansive stage—delivering a cohesive, engaging listen.

Against peers, Divine feels like a course correction: compared with the earlier Dioko it adds more bass weight and smoother treble; versus the twin Diablo, it’s less sizzly and more balanced. Sets like Letshuoer S12/Ultra still appeal thanks to accessories and value, but Divine’s tuning direction is special and, for many, more versatile. Verdict: an S-minus pick and a favorite planar at ~$150. Not for extreme bassheads, but for listeners who want great air, detail, and planar speed without the usual glare, this earns a wholehearted recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

The EPZ P50 comes in hot as a new tribrid and a potential $200 neutral benchmark, trading sterile restraint for a more vocal-centric presentation. Versus the MEGA5EST, vocals sit a touch more forward—adding emotional weight and clarity—while the MEGA5EST still edges it on sheer smoothness and EST “air.” Compared to Meteor, the P50 fills in the lower mids, dials back 1–3 kHz glare, and opens the top end a bit; Meteor stays a hair softer up top. The catch is bass: the P50’s DD is competent but not a sub-bass shaker—expect clean rather than authoritative slam.

Against peers, the P50 sounds fuller and more natural than Supermix 4 (which is brighter and more “hi-fi” energetic), and it trades blows with Odyssey: Odyssey brings better bass texture and treble micro-detail, while the P50 delivers superior vocal clarity and a touch more air. It excels at mid-volume listening—Volume S needs more gain to bloom—and outclasses lighter, air-tilted sets like “K4” style tunings when male vocals or body are the priority. Accessory game is strong too: a nicer cable and a genuinely sturdy hard-leather case sweeten the deal. Not the most “unique” flavor and not for bassheads, but as a balanced, clean, vocal-forward option around $200, P50 is an easy recommendation for those chasing neutrality without the vanilla.

Youtube Video Summary

The 7hz x Crinacle Divine comes in as the clean, balanced counterpart to the Diablo, going for a neutral, vocal-centric presentation rather than a basshead slamfest. Vocals sit slightly forward with enough upper-mid energy to keep things lively, so ballads, slower pop, R&B, acoustic tracks and classical instrumentals really benefit from its separation, layering and overall technical performance, which is clearly a step up over the Diablo. It avoids sounding dead or smoothed-over neutral, instead aiming for a refined but engaging tone that many listeners who find stricter Harman-style tunings a bit shouty may actually prefer.

On the flip side, the low end is very tame: sub-bass is tight with quick decay, no bloat and no bleed into the mids, but it simply doesn’t deliver deep rumble or heavy slam, making the Divine a poor fit for rock, hip-hop or bass-heavy genres where vocals can start to dominate the mix. There’s also a touch of extra upper-mid and treble presence that can border on shouty at higher volumes, so smoother silicone tips (like softer, clear styles) help calm things down. It behaves like a mid-volume set that doesn’t scale as dramatically as the Diablo, and while it’s a solid, well-tuned option for vocal and mid-focused listening, the overall value is only decent at its asking price—making it a more attractive pick once typical sale discounts kick in, especially for those prioritizing vocals and cleanliness over raw bass quantity.

Youtube Video Summary

EPZ P50 comes as a tribrid at $185 with a surprisingly complete kit: a sturdy leatherette case, modular 3.5/4.4mm terminations, three silicone tip sets, and a cleaning cloth. The resin shells are semi-custom with aluminum faceplates; comfort is generally good but anatomy-dependent, and the stock cable—while well finished—runs on the stiff side. A standout twist is the factory customization option (~$225 total for the “Grindphones” style), which notably doesn’t alter the tuning in any meaningful way. The set is easy to drive, shows minimal change with impedance adapters (a touch warmer/more vocal-forward), and avoids pressure issues thanks to smart internal venting.

Sonically, tuning sits as a controlled, mild V: bass is just north of neutral with pleasing texture and impact, mids stay clean with an engaging female-vocal emphasis, and treble adds airy sparkle without turning tizzy—though insertion depth can trigger length-mode variability for some ears. Technical chops impress at the price: detail retrieval punches up, imaging is precise with good separation, and stage reads average but coherent. Against peers, P50 feels more resolving than Kiwi Ears K4 (trades bigger bass/sparkle for better mid clarity), brighter and more vocal-present than the neutral-leaning Ziigaat Lush, and echoes a Dunu Da Vinci vibe with less bass. Verdict: tremendous value and a terrific pick for vocal-centric libraries—highly recommended to audition first if treble sensitivity or fit quirks are a concern.

Youtube Video Summary

EPZ’s P50 feels like a breakout for the brand: a compact, medium-small shell with a vented faceplate that’s marketed as “open-back,” yet isolates like a typical IEM. The unboxing is tidy at this price—carry puck, a real microfiber cloth, and two sets of generic tips—while the modular cable (screw-lock swappable termination) is handy if a bit thin, stiff, and kink-prone; the 2-pin plug sits slightly proud of the socket and the “R” marking is visible on the outside. The long nozzle (~5.5 mm diameter) can push fit depth, so shorter tips (e.g., NF Audio-style) help; once set, stability and comfort are excellent. Overall build looks clean and modern, if a touch editorial compared with EPZ’s other shells.

Sonically, P50 embraces the current tilted diffuse-field “new meta” with a mostly neutral, natural presentation and a later-rising, sub-bass-centric lift that gives bounce rather than mid-bass thump. There’s a hint of extra presence around the 4–5 kHz region that adds macro-contrast—vocals pop with definition and separation is crisp—while upper treble stays safe: cymbals are clean but a bit light in weight. Bass is tight and incisive rather than slammy; micro-texture on vocals is good, though the set favors that big, “stagey” contrast over ultra-fine grain. It’s easily EPZ’s best tuning so far: clear, organized, and engaging without drifting from neutral-ish aims.

Against peers, Kiwi Ears K4 tracks a similar target but sounds lower-contrast and can blur on dense mixes; P50 hits harder on transients, images more cleanly, and keeps busy tracks sorted, while K4 offers a richer midrange with “frothier” treble. Versus the Binary Chopin, Chopin is warmer, fuller, and more mid-bass driven—more “analog” and atmospheric—with deeper perceived space but a bulkier fit; P50 is leaner, clearer, and the least bass-forward of the three. Verdict: a confident 4/5 for delivering a small, comfy fit and a clean, contrasty neutral that competes squarely around $200–$250. If the brief is “neutral with a bit of drama,” this is a strong pick—and a promising sign of where EPZ can go next.

Youtube Video Summary

The EPZ P50 arrives as a ~$200 tribrid with a slick presentation: FR graph on the box, a puck-style case, plenty of tips (oddly two identical sets), and a nice microfiber cloth. Build leans premium with a semi-open back and a faceplate that gives “arc reactor” vibes. The custom shell offers a secure fit for most, though very small ears—or anyone sensitive to an inner wing—may need caution. The modular cable (3.5/4.4 mm) is practical yet slightly stiff and retains some memory; isolation is typical of sealed IEMs despite the semi-open styling.

Sonically, the P50 goes for a warm-balanced tuning. Bass quality impresses: bouncy with deep sub-bass reach, prioritizing texture and control over sheer quantity (more thump is possible via an impedance adapter). Mids read natural with a touch of warmth—male vocals shine—while female vocals can feel a bit lean due to a more relaxed upper-mid energy. Treble is smooth, inoffensive, and “planar-clean” without planar timbre, with only a slight wish for more top-end extension.

Technical performance is the star. The micro planars pull out micro-detail unusually well for the price; imaging, separation, and overall resolution feel confidently executed, making guitars pop and busy mixes easy to parse. That clarity translates to gaming, where positional cues and crowded soundscapes (think battle royale chaos) remain intelligible—worthy of a two-controller gaming nod. Overall, the EPZ P50 is a solid contender at this price: balanced tuning with standout detail retrieval and imaging, tempered only by mids that play it a little safe. For listeners unbothered by a gentler upper-mid lift, it’s well worth the money—a two-star recommendation.

Youtube Video Summary

The EPZ P50 is a five-driver open-back hybrid (1DD + 2BA + 2 micro-planars) that arrives with a solid accessory kit and a sensible price. The tuning is the highlight: a vocal-centric balance that avoids the over-energetic tilt of some Harman-leaning sets, while keeping a clean background and strong clarity. Sub-bass is trimmed for control, mid-bass adds body, and the result is natural male vocals and a presentation that feels both transparent and organized.

Upper mids rise earlier for familiar presence, and treble is extended by the micro-planars yet kept in check for wider appeal than brighter peers. Resolution is high for the class and the set can be revealing, sometimes asking for a touch more volume and occasionally sounding a bit unforgiving on hot masters. Bass is snappy rather than booming, trading rumble for speed and definition to keep the midrange clean.

Stage and imaging are standouts: spacious, precise, and helped by bass control and the open shell design. Compared with typical u-shaped ~$200 hybrids, this tuning prioritizes mids and coherence, showcasing a clear, extended top without brittleness. As a sub-$100 tribrid, the P50 delivers impressive value and feels like a sign of what is to come in this segment.

Youtube Video Summary

7hz x Crinacle Divine comes in at $150 with a planar driver, a clean neutral-leaning tilt and an all-chrome aesthetic. The accessory set is solid (case, cable, multiple tips) and the shells are comfortable for long sessions. Versus its sibling Diablo, Divine trims the low end for a tidier mix while keeping a modest punch, trading musical warmth for clarity and focus.

On the WallHack gaming rubric, Divine’s imaging, separation and layering are consistently strong—just shy of the “A-” tier but clearly competitive. In Valorant it earns a B+ and edges the Diablo thanks to cleaner footsteps in chaotic 5v5s. In Apex Legends it’s the clear winner: the reduced bass keeps cues intact when storms, grenades and third parties stack up. Call of Duty also benefits from the shaved low end—slides, footsteps and positional reads come through with better definition—while Battlefield favors the weightier Diablo for immersion. Overall, Divine is scored at a confident B+: a balanced, competitively minded planar that prioritizes readability and positional precision over sheer slam, making it the better pick for sweaty lobbies while the Diablo remains the choice for music and cinematic boom.
