A wired planar-magnetic IEM collaboration with Crinacle using a 14.6 mm planar driver. Linsoul positions its balanced tuning for both professional and studio use.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The 7Hz x Crinacle Salnotes Dioko is a wired planar magnetic IEM that delivers impressive clarity and detail for its price, but its bright tuning can come across as sharp or tiring to some listeners. While it offers strong technical performance and a wide soundstage, its fit may be shallow and less secure for certain ears, and the bass response is on the lighter side.

What works

  • Resolving and detailed sound with good separation
  • Wide soundstage for an IEM at this price
  • Solid stock cable and sturdy build quality
  • Strong technical performance relative to cost

What doesn't

  • Treble can be peaky and fatiguing over time
  • Bass is light and may lack impact for some
  • Fit can be shallow and insecure for certain ear shapes

The reviewer judged the Dioko’s technical performance to be excellent for its price, especially compared with other IEMs around the $100 mark. Fit was the main complaint, with the shallow and insecure fit seen as the biggest weakness.

This quick look presented the Dioko as a well-built planar IEM with a distinctive shell and good stated technical specs. It focused more on the product’s features than a full listening verdict.
