Tekusai Lucid VS 7hz x Crinacle Divine

Youtube Video Summary

Tekusai Lucid brings a tri-brid setup (PZT + BA + dynamic) at around $170, wrapped in a tiny, metallic shell that’s well-vented and easy to cable-swap thanks to a flat 2-pin. Build is tidy if understated—bland faceplate, but a comfortable nozzle with a good anti-tragus lip. The accessories impress: a stable 4.4 mm cable with chin slider and clear L/R dots, multiple tips, a printed frequency response card, and an excellent faux-leather case that actually adds value.

Sonically, the set leans mids/bass-forward yet struggles up top. Treble feels detached and short on air, cymbals lack realism, and drum hits don’t carry convincing power; vocals can edge toward shrill without the extension or sparkle to cleanly resolve them. The measured curve looks polite but shows a dip in the upper-presence/8 kHz region, translating to limited incisiveness and contrast—more “dull knife” than precision scalpel—so fatigue creeps in despite the generally smooth tonality.

As an upgrade path from entry sets like Hola/Gate, the appeal is clear, but competition at this bracket is fierce. Alternatives mentioned—including value standouts like AFUL Explorer, planar options such as S08, and even used-market picks like Performer 7—offer more clarity and treble definition for similar money. The Lucid earns a solid C: acceptable tuning and great build/pack-ins, potentially compelling for small ears or those prioritizing form factor, yet outclassed on contrast and air. Gaming-wise, there’s no magic—any good IEM works—so unless the miniature fit and accessories seal the deal, better sonic value exists.

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.
