There are a lot of Chinese brands in the enthusiast audio scene, and AFUL Audio always stands out in my head because of its name. Anyway, the brand uses a lot of custom tech in its earbuds, and the Performer 8 are just its second IEM, following on the heels of the Performer 5 that launched last year.
The Performer 8 are a hybrid IEM that uses an 8mm dynamic driver combined with seven BA drivers, and it has a striking design. But what makes these IEMs stand out is a unique acoustic tube system that uses three tubes to channel sound, and this makes a big difference to the balance. The Performer 8 debuted for $369, but they're now available for $329 on HiFiGo.
