But for those of you—like me—who prefer more forward vocals or crave extra sparkle in the upper mids, this might not be the one for you. The name says it all: Punch." Head-Fi.org forum thread, Nov 2024 "The Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch is a tribrid IEM that has warm and lush sound, in its price range it's one of the best options for the bass lovers. If one has heard any of the new meta tuned IEMs and thought it needed more warmth, this is exactly that. But even if it has a mighty 14dB bass shelf it is clean early into the midrange, making it not be muddy and a thick mess. The Punch is made in a comfortable resin shell that should suit most ears, and is delivered with all the accessories you need to start enjoying music. If it's anything negative it's that the accessories are a little cheap, and the branding of the Punch is a little too much. There is also the part about having collaboration IEMs, some really dislike collaborations like this while I personally am neutral. Even so this is the best collaboration IEM I have heard from HBB, so if one is looking for bass focused tribrid this should be taken into the list of possible purchases."
