Youtube Video Summary
QoA Cloudscape is a dark blue or lighter blue hybrid that pairs a 10 millimeter dynamic driver with a micro planar at roughly the 100 dollar mark, keeping the usual nice shells, cable and case that Queen of Audio is known for. The tuning mixes a very full roughly 10 decibel bass shelf with an engaging upper range handled by the planar, creating a fun, V-shaped sound that feels more like an under the radar banger than a safe reference set. Bass is heavy, thumpy and persistent, giving a strong sense of texture and warmth, while the set likes extra volume so that the mids come forward and sit in line with the upper range rather than falling into a classic V-shaped recession.
The micro planar driver gives the upper mids and treble a character that is closer to multiple balanced armatures than a single BA or traditional planar, with clarity, note definition and extension that feel quite technical for the price. Compared with something like Unicrom, Cloudscape keeps a similar bass and upper mid contour but adds more upper range presence and air, trading a cleaner, more relaxed top end for a sharper, more energetic edge that can be a little less forgiving on some rock if the recording lacks low end weight. Overall, this is a very musical, energetic hybrid that prioritizes fun and genre flexibility, especially pop and modern productions with fuller bass, over strict neutrality, and shows just how much can be done with a simple one plus one configuration when the balance between the thick low end and lively treble is carefully dialed in.

Reviewer Score
The QoA Cloud Scape is a hybrid IEM using a 10 mm polymer-diaphragm dynamic driver for bass and mids plus a micro-planar driver for the highs, positioned in the roughly $100–120 bracket. The all-resin shells with hand-painted “Impressionist Oil Painting” faceplates emphasize ergonomics and passive isolation, with several reviewers noting a very secure, comfortable fit over long sessions. Overall, it is positioned as a visually distinctive, warm-leaning daily driver rather than a reference or monitoring tool.
Tonally, Cloud Scape leans warm-neutral with a bass boost: the sub-bass and mid-bass are clearly elevated, giving a deep, full-bodied low end that can add some thickness and slight haze on busier passages while remaining generally well controlled for the price. The midrange presents vocals—especially female vocals—with a soft, forward character that many listeners describe as smooth and easy-going, though not the last word in crisp articulation or separation. Treble from the micro-planar driver is restrained and generally non-fatiguing, with moderate extension and occasional hints of metallic edge on cymbals rather than a very airy or analytical presentation.
In terms of technical performance, Cloud Scape sits around average for its segment: detail retrieval and micro-contrast are acceptable but clearly secondary to timbre and musical flow, imaging is stable but not pin-point, and the stage has moderate width with more emphasis on depth and a cohesive “bubble” around the listener than on sharply layered separation. It is easy to drive and benefits somewhat from cleaner, more powerful sources, but listeners who prioritize high treble energy, maximum clarity or very fast transients may find it too relaxed. For its sub-$150 pricing, QoA Cloud Scape offers a convincing mix of warm musicality, vocal focus and physical comfort, while clearly trading off some transparency and top-end definition compared with the most technically incisive competitors.
