Product Information

I look at this earphone and it reminds me of the name, but does it remind me of the happy-go-lucky feeling that I get from the song? In general, upon receiving your parcel, please confirm the contents of the package and ensure that the package is in good condition before signing for it. The Hook X HBB nail both musical balance and wow effect technical performance and merit to be applause for that.

So there are now two different reasons for some interest in Raptgo and their Raptgo Hook-X set of in-ear monitors. Note: Timings might be affected due to festive seasons or other unforeseen circumstances What happens if the parcel has been shipped but not delivered?

The cable itself is made using OCC silver-plated coaxial shielded wires that enhance the transparency of the hybrid drivers. What I hear different is the overall dynamics and a more engaging or even emotional tilt towards the music in my library. This is a happy fun iem, with an open-back nature, it has a nice package and sounds fantastic with EQ. The nozzles are made from the same gunmetal aluminum as the rest of the housing and feature metal mesh nozzle covers and extruded rims to secure eartips. So about that bone conduction thingy: My first impression putting these on and playing a variety of indie rock music was essentially, "wow, this is different.

The Raptgo Hook X HBB is a fresh breath of air in this IEM world invade with Harman and DF neutral tuning and offers a muscular musicality that doesn't bet on one specific frequency range and delivers full-bodied dynamic for bass, mids, and treble. Hook-X Cable​I suppose I should add in the cable build as well, being that the cable is an essential piece of the puzzle. Very cool to see a company break new ground and put their development skills to the test and out in the open. The zipper functionality is a bit of a question for me as it isn’t the easiest case to open and zip closed.

Treble Issues…​The only real knock against the treble is a strange artifact that faintly shows up on rare occurrences.

Raptgo might be a name I hadn’t heard before this review but it’s one I won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

The Hook-X is another animal altogether, mixing different technologies in an unheard of or unseen manner. Normally these "analog" type sounds turn out to be horribly tuned (outside of say the Vision Ears and Sony gears), but this one is did a surprisingly good job of drawing me in over time and making me enjoy it as a nice alternative to my normal listening pattern. Dynamic is leaner with Winter too, and less bassy, the bass being leaner and warmer, less hefty and weighty in impact than the Hook which has a faster attack too that permits better layering with mid-range.
