SIGNATURE ACOUSTICS River Dual-Driver Hybrid Modular Hi-Fi Audiophile Earphone Dynamic Drivers + 1 Balanced Armature with Mic (Convertible to BT5.0)

In anything of value, utility over-rides cosmetics. This is my third in-ear from Signature and the sound signature keeps getting better with every new edition. The armature does impact the overall sound. This is the closest that anything has come to my AKG702, regarded as the flattest, most transparent headphones on Planet Earth. Gautam has done an impeccable job tuning these drivers. They aren't clinically flat, but you could achieve them by adding a high-quality EQ in the mid-range. The sound stage is wide and transient response for instrument attacks aren't compressed. All in all, another milestone in SA's legacy!

Had a great audio experience with river. been using for 2 years

I was looking for a high quality earphones simply to enjoy music and occasional games. I have above average trained ears and would love to explore higher word of audio. Budget wise, SA River fits and competes with Kz brands. The product is okay okay, not worth the price.It has a strong V shape characteristics. The treble is shrilling and piercing (known as sibilant) that I have to turn down treble/highs in the equalizer all the way down, and that kills other nearing frequencies.The bass is tight, but it's a pain for 60Hz and below because there literally is no bass. You have to turn the low/low bass in equalizer up high to feel the punching bass. The mids over power the bass, and while playing games like PUBG, while the spatial surround sound does well, because of it's sound profile, you'll not hear subtle noises like footstep or enemy shooting at the far. But your own gun firing will deafen your ears. It's horrible.To be very honest, cheaper earphones like JBL CS100SI and Senheiser CX180 does way better in terms of pleasantness in music, they have much better, balanced neutral sound profile, with sweet treble and punchy deep low bass. Each cost about Rs. 600/- and performs better then SA River for general use.If somebody uses a dedicated DAC and audio device, it may be different, but for normal person expecting a quality out of sub 2000/- budget, look for others. This product is kinda overhyped and is not faithful to being balanced or neutral.Even gaming budget earphone like SkyFly XBot GE 100 or 200 does so much better, both in musics (in audio studio use standard) and games, for normal everyday phones.The positives for this IEM is its detachable ear units and replaceable high quality wires. The mic is okay² only.If you are scratching an audiophile world, simply get the Skyfly Xbot GE100 dual dynamic driver, it's better (but wire quality is bad, and claiming warranty is a hassle), minus the "air" "sparkle" treble.If you are just a very realist budget conscious wanting a high quality sound producing earphone, simply get MPOW (if you are lucky to get one), or JBL CS100SI (last very long, high QC) or Senheiser CX180 (it doesn't last long though, 5 - 7 months max).Update 10/8/23:It's a few days now, sharing an update now.This IEM will no doubt be great on high quality DACs, but if you are not in that category, you may found the details below useful.Use a decent phone. Mi, OnePlus, Samsung etc. with latest SD or Mediatek chips have good audio processing chips inbuilt, they are able to drive this IEM well, but with a catch.If you start the EQ from 0db, your phone will try to drive it but with extra work that the quality of the audio loses, and gets worst when you increase the volume. The trick is to turn down all the frequency bands to the lowest point, then slowly move the sliders per your liking, do it for each frequency while paying attention to how it affects the other frequency. This IEM is very narrow and sensitive between 4KHz to 8KHz frequencies, making it difficult to adjust unless your phone EQ has 10+ bands. For normal 5 to 7 bands, it's difficult to get a pleasant trebles without affecting other frequency. The volume will be low, because you started with all bands set to lowest points. However, this time, once you turn up the volume, your phone will be able to drive the IEM much easier, with well controlled and consistent frequencies set in the EQ.All in all, with time, more burn in, and the trick above, it sounded very good now, although not as expected. The bass is solid and has a lot of depth. The trebles are too. Compared to KZ DQ6, I would pick the DQ6 any day in general, but this SA River has a very unique crisp signature to it, in all frequencies.Main difference between KZ DQ6 and this in terms of bass is that, KZ DQ6 gives you the sound of the everyday normal "Ported" subwoofer with or without passive radiators. SA River sounds similar to sealed subwoofer, so tighter, distinct, solid sub bass, it's great for metals and similar genre with lots of foot/double bass drums, the trebles: hit-hat, cymbals etc. are crisp and very organic/natural.The DQ6 in treble has decent trebles but it sounds thin and smeared, maybe due to lack of BA.Once you set up the EQ properly, the depth and details are much better than all the cheaper everyday alternative earphones I mentioned above, but you'll know the difference mostly if you have a trained ears.I have both the above IEMs, and love both but each is different from each other. I'll update later more.

If you are looking for a pair of earphones that offer the best sound isolation, then go for Signature Acoustics River Dual-Driver earphones. These earphones have dual drivers which enhanced the overall sound quality class apart compare to other available options in the market, especially the bass part played by these earphones is awesome.

If you are an audiophile searching for a great piece with high durability, the Signature Acoustics River Dual-Driver earphones are the best fit for you. The overall product will give you a premium feeling at such a price....just go for it.

This is my first purchase from this brand signature acoustics. This is RIVER . I did not purchase the higher price models. My friend who is a sound engineer told me about this brand. I like the sound, it is very very clean. The bass and treble is very good. The Mic is good for calls. Go for it. I like it ... Total paisa wasool .

Sound quality is good, it's loud, very good noise cancellation. It's wired and modular and costly. If it's both parts are sold separately, it can become cheap overtime but I haven't seen any such initiative so far. Hence the 4 star.

So letme get to the point, the packaging was good, comes with a pouch to carry these but it could be better.The sound of this earphones 🎧 is just amazing 😍 the sound is so beautifully balanced (mid and high tones), crisp bass and treble 👌🏼 design feels modern ✋ I have tried many in ear headphones (Skullcandy, Sennheiser, sony mdr series etc ) but in this price range it is one of the best out there. I registered warranty on its official website but didn't get any confirmation mail. Hope to get good customer service from them. Give it a try guys, you won't regret it! 🙏🏼
