Design

I quite like the simplistic angular design of the Orivetti Dynabird. The polished aluminium alloy shells remind me a lot of the TinHifi T2 Pro but these look and feel significantly more premium. There’s a single vent just in front of the 2-pin socket. The mesh covers on the nozzles look cool and according to Orivetti, they’re also designed to improve the audio quality.

Dynabird comes with a lovely braided cable with a glossy black sheath. All of its components, including the chin slider and dark grey aluminium. The cable handles well and doesn’t have any problematic microphonics.

Sound

Gear used for testing includes the iBasso DX180, FiiO KA17 and SMSL RAW-MDA 1. The IEM’s low impedance and high sensitivity mean it’s easy to drive and is usable with any audio source.

Dynabird has a V-shaped sound signature with an elevated bass, clear midrange and lively treble. It leans towards bright, is treble-forward and prioritizes clarity. The result is a somewhat analytical-sounding IEM that is quite fatiguing over time.

Bass

Dynabird has a tight controlled bass with an emphasis on the sub-bass. It can get a smooth rumble going but its bass extension isn’t impressive. Although the bass looks dominant on the graph, in reality, it’s quite tame. It’s a speedy, controlled bass that stays in its lane and doesn’t muddy up the midrange.

Midrange

The midrange is snappy and bright with a focus on clarity. It’s articulate and crisp but midrange notes are on the leaner side and sometimes sound metallic. Vocals and instruments can sound distinctly sharp and shouty. The midrange lacks detail and nuance, even though the overall sound is bright.

Treble

The treble is extended and energetic. Unfortunately, its detail retrieval is only average, despite its bright nature. It has a sharp and cutting edge that gets fatiguing pretty quickly. The highs are overly bright and sibilant, and cymbals sound uncontrolled and splashy.

Soundstage & Technicalities

The soundstage is reasonably wide but lacks depth. Instrument separation and placement are below average for a $100 IEM. There’s a decent amount of detail retrieval but it struggles during complex segments.

Verdict

The Orivetti Dynabird is a well-constructed IEM with decent performance. It offers solid build quality that feels durable and premium. However, compared to other IEMs in the same price range, it struggles to stand out. In today’s competitive market, where fine-tuned sound profiles are key, the Dynabird doesn’t quite measure up to the higher standards set by its competitors.
