Super* Review 8.5* * score rescaled + normalized
Fantastic IEM for the price. Super sharp and standout bass physicality. Tonality is more universal than the Dusk. It's well defined but not super wide or spacious
Youtube Video Summary

The Softears Volume S at $320 sets a new tonal benchmark for IEMs in its price range. It arrives in solid packaging featuring a zippered carry case (a bit large but functional), protective earpiece pockets that might feel overkill for some, and two excellent sets of ear tips – including Softears' own highly-regarded Ultra Clear tips. Build quality is generally fantastic, highlighted by a resin shell, a comfortable paracord-style cable with a low-profile, user-swappable termination system, and recessed 2-pin connectors. While the aesthetics might feel a bit old-school to some, the fit is comfortable and stable due to its semi-custom shape and longer nozzle, making it secure enough for sleeping. A small screwdriver-adjustable tuning switch offers a secondary, brighter Harmon-like sound signature, though the default tuning is preferred.

The default sound signature is a warm-tilted neutral, delivering exceptional natural timbre and tasteful bass boost. This bass stands out for its exceptional physicality – punchy and impactful without being overbearing – alongside articulate sub-bass that’s easy to follow. Combined with well-defined transients, particularly in the upper-midrange, it creates a satisfyingly rich and dense presentation. While spatial effects and imaging are competent but not standout, the overall tonality and bass quality are remarkably refined. Comparisons show it offers a better tonal balance and bass control than the bassier Dunu DaVinci, significantly more body and richness than the brighter, thinner Moondrop Blessing 3, and trades blows with the Moondrop Dusk – the Volume S providing superior density and mid-bass presence versus the Dusk's more open, spacious presentation.

Ultimately, the Softears Volume S earns a full five-star rating. It might not be the absolute most technically dazzling IEM, but its fantastic tonal balance, unique bass physicality, and overall refinement make it a compelling choice. For $320, it delivers a sound signature that feels just right – rich, satisfying, and universally appealing – challenging more expensive offerings and establishing itself as a top contender in its class.

Not really stand out at the price range. Lack a bit of definition. Decent IEM
Youtube Video Summary

The Ziigaat Arcanis offers a warm, somewhat thick sound signature with a noticeable bass boost and a lean lower midrange. This is balanced by a relaxed upper midrange and lower treble, contributing to its overall smooth character. While it provides decent extension, the Arcanis can occasionally present vocals with a slightly wet or near-sibilant edge, especially depending on ear tip choice and fit depth. Its transient response is sharper than the Yanyin Canon Pro, giving it better definition and crisper imaging, though the bass physicality is only middling.

Physically, the Arcanis features lightweight plastic shells with a distinctive dark black and green aesthetic. However, the build quality feels somewhat cheap for the $400 price point, especially paired with the included thin, glossy cable. The shells are notably long, leading to a fit that can feel deep and occasionally aggressive in the ear canal, exacerbated by the stock ear tips. Users may experience noticeable driver flex or squish when inserting them. Comfort is generally acceptable for upright listening but becomes problematic when lying on your side.

Ultimately, the Arcanis earns a three-star rating. While it delivers a generally inoffensive, warm sound with decent technicalities like transient bite and imaging, it lacks standout qualities or strong definition at its price. The physical experience, particularly the fit and perceived build quality, further holds it back from being a compelling recommendation. It ends up feeling like a competent but unremarkable offering in its tier.

Great treble, really sweet.
Youtube Video Summary

Yanyin Canon Pro is a 1DD + 6BA hybrid around $400 with a light, well-sized shell that’s easy to fit and pleasantly vented. The kit impresses: a suede-like round case feels durable, the tip selection is reasonable, and the cable is a standout—supple, visually premium, and available in 3.5 / 4.4 (even 2.5 for holdouts). Comfort trends above average, and the dip switches exist but the favored setting is the “all up” configuration.

Tonally the Canon Pro skews neutral and safe: modest bass with slightly recessed lower mids, a clean midrange, and smooth treble that brings out micro-detail without harsh spikes. Sub-bass could dig deeper, yet dynamics never feel anemic; it’s more about balance than fireworks. The FR “hugs the target,” with a touch of upper air and extension that reads subtle rather than showy, yielding an all-day listen with natural imaging and very low fatigue.

Against peers, Canon Pro beats Canon 2 for detail and top-end finesse (Canon 2 offers more warmth and punch), and comes across more refined than Hype 4, whose upper air can feel exaggerated. Versus Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk, the Dusk DSP wins if DSP is on the table, but in pure analog the edge tilts to Canon Pro. Sets like AFUL Performer 7 trade blows (more bass/treble “spice” there), while Pilgrim can read too bright and Moondrop Meteor feels leaner down low. The takeaway: not a showboat, but a polished, versatile IEM with beautiful accessories, easy comfort, and tuning that’s EQ-friendly and broadly appealing—an easy recommendation for those who value clarity and poise over spectacle.

Softears Volume S reviewed by Fresh Reviews

Fresh Reviews 7.5* * The score of this reviewer influences only the Gaming Score
Great allrounder
Youtube Video Summary

The Softears Volume S delivers a fantastic hybrid sound in its low impedance mode, characterized as a warm neutral tuning with a lush note weight, good bass punch without bloat, and a slight upper-midrange emphasis that makes vocals pop. This signature translates exceptionally well across both music listening and competitive gaming, offering great separation, layering, and phenomenal imaging for precise positional awareness. While engaging and non-fatiguing, gunfire and intense effects in games like Apex Legends can sometimes feel on the verge of shouty or slightly occlusive during chaotic, high-level scenarios, lacking that last bit of air and resolution in the upper mids.

Gaming performance shines across multiple titles. The Volume S provides outstanding depth perception and accurate imaging for Apex Legends slides and light footsteps, excels in Valorant with its separation and verticality, handles the chaos of Call of Duty exceptionally well, and proves to be a top recommendation for Fragpunk due to its loud, precise, and easily trackable footsteps. The smaller resin chassis offers great comfort and ergonomics, especially for those struggling with fit, though it doesn't feel quite as premium as some metal competitors in its price range.

Significant drawbacks include the utterly dismissed high impedance mode tuning, deemed "absolute garbage" and a headache for gaming, and the fragile tuning mechanism itself, prone to easy damage. The included shoelace-style cable is functional with a removable termination but not a favorite, and the unboxing experience, while decent with a pleather case, extra termination, and two sets of silicone tips, is fairly typical for the price. Ultimately, the Softears Volume S stands as a killer all-around IEM when locked into its excellent low impedance mode, highly recommended for its crossover appeal despite the useless tuning switch and build quibbles.

Border B
Youtube Video Summary

Yanyin Canon Pro comes with two dip switches per side and effectively three tunings (up/up, down/down, and mixed). Packaging is solid with a nicer copper cable, tips, case, and a switch tool. Sonically it shifts away from Canon 2’s warmth into a more neutral profile with clean bass, quick attack/decay, and a wide, deep stage. Detail retrieval, separation, and layering are a highlight for music at around $400, competing with sets like Mangird Tea Pro and Canon 2, while feeling less intimate than both.

For gaming, the expansive stage delivers strong imaging and “yardage” cues, with gunfire rendered clean and impactful; however, reduced mid-bass body means footsteps don’t cut through as urgently as on Canon 2. In Valorant (preferred up/up), the set sounds spacious and resolving but can soften the immediacy of close-range steps—still solid due to depth and layering, scoring about a B+. In Apex, down/down becomes preferable: slides and lighter cues pop better amid chaotic fights, yet overall brightness and big explosions can mask details, putting it around B+ (bordering B). In Call of Duty, imaging and layering impress, but the softer footstep emphasis keeps it near a B+. Overall, a B+ for competitive play: choose Canon Pro for a more neutral, airy presentation and excellent detail; pick Canon 2 or Mangird Tea Pro when maximal footstep emphasis and tighter intimacy are the priority.

Jays Audio 7.5 Reviewer Score
S Tuning
A Tech
Amazing vocals under $500 with the stock switch/clear tips or tangzu sancai regular (no impedance boost) with amazing vocal scaling. Recommended for higher volume listening like ballads, slower indie/bands. Better than Studio 4 vocal wise, but Studio 4 is the better all-rounder. Volume S is more mid/vocal centric than Studio 4, and more immersive and "musical". Other switch configuration offers more clarity and detail at the cost of scaling with uppermids/treble boost (cleaner harman 2019/better at mid-volume). Stock switch tuning can also be neutral and relaxing if you don't crank it up, and overall Volume S has good variety and differentiates itself with the different tunings. Also, well implemented BAs. Passive Radiator effect is questionable.
Youtube Video Summary

The Softears Volume S emerges as a standout vocal specialist under $500, often described as a "mini studio 4“ due to similar frequency graphs. However, it trades some treble detail for superior scaling and a heightened focus on the mid-range, particularly vocals, while adding a touch more mid-bass oomph. This treble reduction allows the music to breathe, creating a more immersive and musical experience that pulls the listener deeper into the sound compared to the Studio 4, without sacrificing a sense of space or leaving the bass and treble feeling inadequate. Though not bass-heavy or treble-head oriented, the low-end provides enough thump and the highs enough air to avoid sounding lean or dark, resulting in a presentation that's slightly less technical and balanced than the Studio 4 but excels in vocal delivery and engagement.

A key feature is the tuning switch which boosts upper mids and treble while lowering the bass, effectively transforming the sound into a cleaner, more technical version of Harman 2019, even surpassing the Studio 4 in detail retrieval in this mode. However, this boosted configuration can sound shouty, lean, and overly clinical for many preferences, lacking the thickness of the stock tuning and scaling less effectively at higher volumes. The stock tuning, preferred for its vocal prowess, truly comes alive with increased volume. The included clear tips are recommended for a slight treble lift and comfort, and the bundled USBC adapter adds a subtle amount of sub-bass rumble, though the low-end remains clean and controlled, reminiscent of leaner sets like the Pilgrim, not providing heavy slam.

While the Studio 4 remains a solid, well-balanced all-rounder, especially on sale around $350, and alternatives like the EM10 (more detailed), Supermix 4 (better value), the Volume S carves its niche with exceptional vocal performance at higher volumes using the stock tuning. Its main drawbacks involve the confusing switch design (requiring opposite positions on each earpiece for the same tuning with no clear indicators) and the pricing debate; using non-branded drivers suggests a more appropriate price point would be $200-$250 rather than $300. Despite these quirks and marketing claims about the passive radiator's role (its actual impact being debatable), the Volume S delivers a great sounding, flexible IEM offering distinct sonic profiles based on volume level and switch position.

Softears Volume S reviewed by Z-Reviews

Z-Reviews 7.2 * score rescaled + normalized
Youtube Video Summary

The Softears Volume S offers a dramatic transformation through its impedance switch, requiring a tiny screwdriver to toggle between low (9.8 ohm) and high (31.2 ohm) modes. The low impedance mode is described as painfully clinical, bland, and annoyingly sterile across all tested amplifiers. It’s reminiscent of the disliked original Volume model, lacking any enjoyable tuning despite EQ attempts. This mode only suits listeners craving absolute neutrality, offering little musical engagement.

Switching to the high impedance mode completely revolutionizes the experience. It becomes relaxed, unoffensive, and remarkably smooth, with notes possessing a lingering, church-like resonance that adds emotional depth. This mode presents music with a spacious, uplifting quality and a subtle chest-felt pressure during resonant passages. However, it demands quality amplification to shine and benefits from tip-rolling; the included sticky liquid silicone tips enhance the signature, though alternatives like Azla SednaEarfit can tweak the response. Comfort and build are excellent, though the fabric cable exhibits some microphonics.

Priced around $300, the Volume S earns a cautious recommendation primarily for its stellar high-impedance performance. It requires tinkering with tips and sources to reach its potential and faces stiff competition in its price bracket. While not an outright class leader, it’s a significant upgrade over the original Volume. The package includes a luxurious case, multiple tips, and a branded USB-C adapter, reflecting Softears' typical attention to detail. Just keep it locked in high-impedance mode.

Youtube Video Summary

Yanyin Canon Pro brings a 1DD + 6BA stack with two DIP switches that alter an internal crossover rather than simple EQ, but the documentation is maddeningly vague. Stock out of the box (switch 1 up, switch 2 down) hits the sweet spot: most bass, gently damped treble, and a cohesive, engaging sound. Flip both down and the presentation turns flat and distant; flip both up and treble gets piercing with bass falling behind; 1 down / 2 up is another treble burst. Imaging remains solid throughout, but these are not bass monsters even with bass engaged. Tip rolling matters: wide-bore “velvet” tips step the listener back a row, smoothing the intensity and making the set feel properly $400-grade.

Build and accessories are a mixed bag. The cable is excellent—thick, straight, aluminum hardware that would make full-size headphones jealous—though the included plug here was fixed 3.5 mm (a 4.4 mm option is preferable). The carry case and presentation are great, but the shells themselves look muted and underwhelming in person, a far cry from attention-grabbing faceplates. Comfort and fit are fine, with flared nozzles and grippy bases that keep tips secure.

Sonically, with the right tips and the 1 up / 2 down setting, Canon Pro can absolutely be a daily driver—balanced, clean, and listenable for long stretches. The headache is the switching: three of the four permutations feel like downgrades, and the lack of a clear switch map from Yanyin doesn’t help. Net take: tuning potential is there, but it requires fussing (tips, gain, switches) to get it right. As a package—case, cable, and sound once dialed—this feels more like a strong $300 proposition; sort the switch profiles so each one is genuinely good, and the full $400 ask would make a lot more sense.

A wonderful sounding IEM. A more neutral version of the Meta tuning. Works with absoltuely everything and sounds great. Cable is microphonic, but comes with a great carry case and premium eartips.
Youtube Video Summary

Softears Volume S follows the 2022 Volume and steps into a fiercely competitive ~$320 bracket with a seriously premium kit: a gorgeous leather case, modular screw-on terminations, both standard and Ultra Clear eartips, IM booties, and tiny screwdrivers for the on-board potentiometer. The stealthy black resin shells with exposed carbon-fiber faceplates feel solid and fit well thanks to slim nozzles; just note there’s no nozzle mesh. The big caveat is the cloth-sheathed stock cable—ergonomically nice but with heavy microphonics. Two tunings are selectable: low-impedance (≈10Ω) and high-impedance (≈31Ω). The low-impedance mode is the keeper; it’s easy to drive yet sensitive to source output impedance, so a dongle under 1Ω is recommended to avoid unintentionally shifting the tonality.

In low-impedance mode the signature is neutral-natural, a flatter, more mid-centric take on “new-meta.” Bass offers quality over quantity: textured, punchy, and responsive without tipping into basshead territory. The mids are the star—clean, warm-tinged lower mids give male vocals body while female vocals sit forward without shout, keeping timbre natural. Treble is smooth, airy, and non-fatiguing, avoiding metallic glare while preserving sparkle. Technical performance is confidently above average for the price: imaging & stage feel wide and well-layered, with good separation and resolution that rewards attentive listening without forcing it.

Positionally, think “Kato upgrade”: smoother treble, better bass texture, and a refinement that many will prefer. Versus spicier rivals like DaVinci, Project Meta, Dusk DSP, or Mega 5 EST, the Volume S sounds more controlled and “correct,” trading some slam and upper-air fireworks for coherence and timbre. It won’t thrill bass lovers, treble heads, or detail chasers seeking a spotlighted presentation; everyone else gets a superb all-rounder that feels benchmark-worthy—the HD600/650 vibe for IEMs. Verdict: you should buy this if a do-it-all, neutral-natural tuning is the goal; just mind your source impedance and consider swapping the cable to kill the microphonics.

Natural, rich sounding. Substantial low end that doesn't muddy up the mix and a bass shelf that isn't completely isolated to the subbass (when an IEM has a lot of subbass but no midbass, this can makes it sound like it has a hole in the frequency response). Bass hits are very physical and yet not overpowering. Natural sounding mids and natural sounding timbre across the board. Treble that does not fatigue. All this for less than $400. It likely won't knock your proverbial socks off with techs but it also doesn't lack detail. Excellent dynamics. Transient attack is crisp. Imaging and stage is good. This IEM is one I can listen to for hours on end without getting tired of it - it skews towards warm and relaxing but not boring. The only thing that this might lack compared to other comparable IEMs is perhaps some upper treble extension which might help to add a bit more air and sparkle - but doing so could possibly ruin the laid-back and approachable character that sets this IEM apart and keeps me from wanting to grab any other IEM.

Bass surprisingly addicting and tactile midrange could be more natural
Youtube Video Summary

The Softears Volume S delivers a distinctly colored sound signature with significant boosts in two key areas: the bass and the upper mid-range. Its bass profile is uniquely elevated up to around 300Hz, resulting in a physical, heavy, yet well-defined low end that impresses with substantial note weight and attack, appealing even to bass enthusiasts. Vocals cut through clearly due to the upper mid-range boost, but this tuning comes with a trade-off: a noticeable sense of hollowness and a narrower soundstage that can feel congested on certain tracks, creating a love-hate relationship with its presentation.

The treble offers a safe, natural, and polite character, providing adequate detail without excessive brightness or roll-off, though it may lack sparkle for some listeners. Technically, the Volume S performs at a level comparable to the Moondrop Blessing 3, excelling particularly in the incisive attack and substantial weight behind each note. When compared to competitors, the Volume S edges out the Tea Pro in bass quality, separation, and natural timbre, though the Tea Pro offers a wider stage. Against the Blessing 3, the Volume S trades openness and cleanliness for a more fun, bass-forward and impactful experience. It also presents a more balanced signature than the brighter, more treble-focused Kiwi Ears Astral.

Ultimately earning an A-minus rating, the Volume S is highly recommended for those seeking exceptional bass quality and a fun, colored tuning. However, it might not suit listeners prioritizing a wide soundstage, a neutral signature, or a bright, sparkly treble with forward micro-details; these listeners are advised to audition first.

The Yanyin Canon Pro offers a versatile listening experience through its dual tuning switches, which provide three distinct bass profiles without affecting midrange or treble integrity. With both switches engaged, it delivers satisfying sub-bass depth and texture, though mid-bass impact remains reserved, contributing to a clean but occasionally thin lower midrange. Vocals shine with excellent clarity and natural timbre, particularly female vocals, while the treble extends smoothly without harshness—though it can become fatiguing at higher volumes.

Technically, the IEM excels in layering and instrument separation, presenting a three-dimensional soundstage with precise imaging, though width is average compared to peers like the Moondrop Blessing 3. The 3D-printed resin shells ensure long-wearing comfort and effective passive isolation, while the included single-crystal copper cable feels premium but lacks modular terminations—a notable omission at this price. Resolution and micro-dynamics are strengths, revealing fine details in complex tracks without sounding analytical.

Priced at $399, the Canon Pro competes in a crowded segment but distinguishes itself with tuning flexibility and refined vocals. While accessories like the carry case and tips feel basic, the IEM’s balanced hybrid tuning and technical prowess make it a compelling option for those seeking adaptability across genres. Bass enthusiasts might still crave more mid-bass slam, but the overall package delivers a polished, engaging listen.
