[Exclusive] The Making of an IEM! Chifi Madness!

Ғылым және технология

Ever wondered how an IEM is made?
This episode of the Superchonk Show takes you to the heart of Chifi, China. Where we take a look at the processes on how your IEMS/Earphones are made.
7hz has very kindly allowed up to take a peek into the process revealing some cool secrets about the Chifi world! We take a look at the production of the 7hz Sonus!
It was quite insightful for me as well as being so close to the manufacturing process really makes me feel that Chifi is really too cheap from all that hard work.

    Paulo, price is a reflection of how much goes into a product. Every brand has their budget and premium lines. As the saying goes, you get what you pay. Nonetheless, not everyone is willing to pay premium for hobby. They have other priorities in life. In fact, budget products are the "bread and butter" of many brands. Let's put it this way... You can only sell so many $1,000 IEM a month.
