Yesterday, the earbud community-driven Flathead Society’s Earbuds Ranking List was updated with Flathead Audio STUDIO and Ksearphone DM7 rankings.
DM7 earned an honorable place among 5 other flathead earbuds in the ><-CEPTIONAL category. The STUDIO went straight to the top of the ranking list, thus making them the cheapest among the other GOD‘S TEARS tier earbuds – almost 3 times cheaper than the next cheapest nominee. Despite their neutral tuning, their excellent tonality and fantastic resolution earned them the top spot. Well done, Flathead Audio!
