BGVP DX6 : The Midcentric Monster

It's been a while since I reviewed earbuds and they still don't fail to impress me despite having a few issues in isolation. Ever since my review expanded, I have focused mostly on reviewing in-ear-monitors. Today, we are going to review BGVP DX6. The DX models feature BGVPs earbud lineup, and the DX6 is their latest iteration.

DISCLAIMER :
I did not receive any form of monetary compensation from BGVP or anyone affiliated with them. As always, I'll ensure to be honest with my review.

The BGVP DX6 is a 14.2mm dynamic driver with an LCP composite diaphragm MMCX earbud housed in an aluminum shell. The LCP diaphragm has been very popular lately and has been used by several models released this year, such as the Tin T3+, Astrotec Vesna, and the Moondrop Aria. It is very lightweight and comfortable, robust, and I personally wear it over my ear as I do with in-ear-monitors for a better fit.

Pros : 

• Mid-centric and has great technicalities
• Comfortable and lightweight
• Robust
• Flexible due to its modular design

Cons:

• Fit may not be for everyone especially with larger ears
• May need more power to truly shine
• Harshness may be a concern
• Not for bassheads

The BGVP DX6 can be driven on a smartphone but demands more power. If I had an amplifier to test this, I believe it could do so much more. The DX6 has a midcentric nature, and I honestly love midcentric earbuds. Due to its bad isolation, it makes up for it with great, natural vocals, soundstage, and details.

LOWS : The lows somehow focus more on midbass than the sub-bass. It doesn't have that earthy and rumbling sub-bass, it doesn't reach that deep and primarily focuses on the mid-bass. Mid bass has sufficient punch and slam just to make sure this pair doesn't lack dynamics in the lower region. Of course, bassheads won't prefer this set.

MIDS : The star of the show. Vocals sound natural and have great texture. At higher volumes, the upper mids may sound harsh, which is to be wary of but is not a cause for concern.

HIGHS : Highs are crisp, airy, and have great details. It may sound fatiguing at some points, but is tolerable to some extent. I managed to listen to this pair for more than 2 hours with a short interval of rest.

SOUNDSTAGE AND IMAGING : The soundstage is spacious, has an above-average depth. It has amazing layering; instruments and vocals are easy to pinpoint and have great separation. This is what separates an earbud from an IEM when it comes to overall technicalities, and I somehow missed this level of detail and resolution. I am not saying IEMs are lacking in resolution and technicalities, but IEMs within or below this price range are hard to come by.

FINAL RATING 

To conclude this review, this is a great option for those who want to look for a flexible, robust, and astounding pair of earbuds. For $89, I wouldn't hesitate to buy these pair. If you are looking for an ultra light and comfortable midcentric earbud, then I highly suggest considering the BGVP DX6 for your next purchase.
