Searched a long time for a high-quality all-rounder IEM upgrade, that was 'energetic/engaging' with hard hitting but controlled bass. Disappointed w/prior test models (Thieaudio Oracle MK3,etc) while decent, felt 'boring' for my library (Alternative/Rock/Pop/Country/Orchestral Scores). Came across Matthew's superb review of the Prismatica and was intrigued. Chatted online w/Bloom Audio & purchased the Prismatica on the spot.
Build Quality/Comfort provides the best I have used to date (ergonomic/smaller size fits perfectly for my difficult ears). Zero ear pressure, can listen for hours with no pain, but tips are key (these are wide-bore nozzles-6mm). Tried multiple brands(ex. Divinus Velvet), best results with Spinfit Omni (while not considered 'wide bore' they do fit, but have patience).
Pairing w/Ibasso DC-Elite (usb from Win11 pc) was magical. Thumping bass elevated Kick-drums/Electric Guitars to sound rich/full with no bleed-over. Male & Female vocals were spot-on authentic/accurate and just enough treble sparkle on the top. While not the treble detail monster, never felt I like missed anything. This IEM works perfectly for cranking up loud/quick/fast dynamic swing tracks or those beautiful, intimate & delicate. Cannot stop listening to this IEM & could not be happier!
Special shout-out to Matthew for his perfect guidance/pairing options & helping me locate this gem!
First and foremost, the customer service at Bloom Audio is unparalleled! Caleb and Matthew are amazing, and I sincerely appreciate all of the help they provided!
Now that that is finished, what is there to say? After searching for my own personal "end-game" IEM for many months trying various price ranges, drivers, cables, ear tips, etc. I was fortunate enough to land on the Prismatica.
At first listen, I knew it was something special. The sheer openness, dynamics, overall tonality, fit, and fun signature it presents are phenomenal! The bass is weighty and present, instruments are properly presented and separated in the mix, vocals, be they male or female, are reproduced incredibly naturally, and the treble has impressive sparkle without fatigue.
The two contenders within this price range I was comparing against were Oriolus Szalayi and Flipears Aether. Both of these are unique in their regard: Oriolus was bass-forward and presented wonderful dynamics but only at louder volumes. the Aether was great but the bass felt lacking and the mids were odd for my tastes.
The packaging is the most premium I have seen, as well! The box they come in is high quality, the case is dope, the cable is wonderful and 4.4mm, the included ear tips are silicone and foam which is great, and you get a metallic silver plate with your serial number!
All in all, it is an incredible package for an incredibly built IEM! Solid all around! I'm very happy that I will be using these for many years to come!
