Shozy & Neo BG 5BA IEM

Racking up rock-solid reviews on sites like Head-Fi and Headfonia, the Shozy & Neo BG has at least five good reasons for its nearly five-star rating. Those come in the form of its five balanced armatures: one Knowles CI Series bass-focused balanced armature to capture the low end, and four uniquely tuned ultra-high frequency balanced armatures to capture the rest of the frequency spectrum—all the way to 20 kilohertz. Together with excellent passive crossover technology and Shozy’s “sound field regularization” acoustics, this driver quintet delivers exceptionally detailed sound that tends towards the transparent. This sound is owed, in part, to the housing design, which comes courtesy of Shozy’s design partner: Neo. Not only are these earphones comfortable, stylish, and sonically pleasing—they also offer 25 decibels of passive isolation. Alongside impressive 118-decibel sensitivity and 22-ohm impedance, this isolation makes the Shozy & Neo BG a truly standout daily driver.
