Yanyin x HBB Mahina

Musical brilliance

The Mahinas are an incredibly well tuned set of IEMs, offering an wonderfully immersive experience that is extremely musical. The vocals are sublime, and forward too. They are the shining feature of the Mahinas in my opinion. Close behind the vocals comes the bass, these IEMs have a very warm and full sound to them which is very well done. It hits hard too, but not overly hard, just the right amount for my ears. And then we have the treble, surprisingly detailed considering the sound signiture. I don't see these IEMs ever being fatiguing, the treble is not what you would call bright but is still incredibly detailed, I love it. Finally, the fit. It's great. Actually, it is one of my favourite things about this set. I could wear this hours on end, it is easily the best fitting IEM I have ever owned. Also, the case is really good, very high quality, and can fit quite a bit inside. They may not be the best for more clinical song libraries, e.g. progressive rock where you want a more sterile replay of the song. But If you listen to EDM/Hip-Hop or similar genres, these could potentially be endgame, they really are that good.

Brilliant. Get them!

If you listen to rock, hip-hop, electronic music etc, these are endgame. The bass is fantastic. Note weight and warmth is there, as well as thump and slam, but without any bleeding into the midrange. The treble is relaxed and tastefully done. This is my first tri-brid set and the EST drivers really make a difference. The imaging and soundstage is well above average - very good. The case is the best I've ever had, the fit is great and the quality is up to standard for the price. Well worth the money

Great. 9/10

These are simply fantastic IEMs. I got them to replace the Variations as my every day IEM at work since I've been using those for the better part of a year. The bass is very similar to the Variations, the mids are more forward and better, and the highs are still detailed but not quite as bright. The cable and the case are GREAT. The only reason I don't give these a 10/10 are the stock tips which are meh and the fact that I wish these were a little less sensitive. Listening on a full power desktop amp like my JDS El 2 stack, on low gain I can barely move the volume knob. I recommend something like the hipdac with the xmatch gain turned off, or the Qudelix 5k.
