Pai Audio DM2A 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

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.
