Head-fi review: Number 49 of 100... a limited edition from Canpur
1. Introduction & Positioning
The Canpur CP622B already had a reputation as one of the more unique flagship IEMs on the market thanks to its dual bone conduction drivers and a tuning that blended musicality with a spacious, holographic presentation. The CP622B Ti builds on that platform but aims for more refinement: slightly leaner low end, more open mids, and a brighter, airier treble region. Instead of reinventing the wheel, Canpur has adjusted the balance for those who wanted the magic of the original but with greater technical polish.
2. Build, Design & Comfort
The Ti edition carries a sleek, metallic finish that feels more premium and solid in hand compared to the original’s glossy shell. The ergonomic shape remains comfortable despite the bone conduction module inside. The included cable feels supple and lightweight, avoiding stiffness and microphonics. Overall, it’s a high-end fit and finish worthy of its flagship price.
3. Sound Overview
The Ti’s tuning steps away from the original’s warmish presentation and moves toward neutrality with subtle energy in the upper frequencies. The end result is a more reference-oriented but still musical IEM, perfect for those who want detail retrieval and a spacious stage without sacrificing emotional engagement.
4. Lows (Bass)
CP622B Ti: Sub-bass reaches deep but is no longer the centerpiece. It’s tight, punchy, and has faster decay, emphasizing texture over sheer volume. Bass lines are articulate and controlled, ideal for acoustic and progressive genres.
Original CP622B: More sub-bass heft and warmth, giving cinematic and EDM tracks a weightier foundation but occasionally masking mid detail.
Empire Ears Odin: Similar speed but slightly more mid-bass emphasis; Odin feels more energetic but also more forward in the low end.
Amber Pearl: A warmer, rounder bass signature than Ti, providing a lush foundation but less agility.
Other Flagships (e.g., Elysian Annihilator): Many emphasize slam over detail. Ti’s bass feels more balanced and less fatiguing for long sessions.
5. Mids
CP622B Ti: Clean, spacious mids with a natural tone. Vocals sit slightly forward, free from bass masking. Instrument separation is excellent, with an almost “out of head” holographic feel from the bone conduction system.
Original CP622B: Slightly warmer mids that feel richer but sometimes less transparent in complex mixes.
Odin: Brighter upper mids and more aggressive vocal presence; Odin brings energy but can feel fatiguing over long listening sessions.
Amber Pearl: Creamier, intimate mids, perfect for vocal and acoustic music but with a narrower stage compared to the Ti.
Annihilator & Maven II: Both are mid-forward detail monsters, but Ti’s mids are smoother and more relaxed without losing clarity.
6. Highs (Treble & Air)
CP622B Ti: Treble extension is improved over the original. Cymbals, strings, and micro-details have more presence and air. There’s sparkle, but it’s tastefully restrained—enough for detail lovers but smooth enough for long listening sessions.
Original CP622B: Airy and smooth, but slightly more relaxed. Some might have found it a touch too polite up top.
Odin: Brighter, sharper treble with more bite; more “analytical” and aggressive in comparison.
Amber Pearl: Softer treble, designed for fatigue-free listening. Smooth and romantic but not as resolving as Ti.
Annihilator: Extremely treble-forward, more energetic and brilliant than Ti, which may excite detail lovers but fatigue sensitive listeners.
7. Soundstage & Imaging
The Ti retains the original’s standout feature: a holographic, three-dimensional soundstage enhanced by bone conduction. Where the OG sounded like a warm concert hall, the Ti is more like a high-end mastering studio—spacious, but with sharper imaging and more defined placement of instruments. Layering is excellent, and even dense tracks don’t collapse.
8. Technical Performance
Resolution and microdetail retrieval are improved over the original CP622B. Transients feel snappier, and imaging cues are more precise. It doesn’t chase the ultra-forward resolution of Odin or Annihilator but instead finds a balance—clear, detailed, but still organic and easy to listen to.
9. Comparisons at a Glance
CP622B OG vs CP622B Ti: OG is warmer and bassier; Ti is cleaner, leaner, and more open with better treble detail.
Odin: Brighter, more aggressive, more mid-forward; Ti is smoother and more relaxed with bigger stage.
Amber Pearl: Richer and more intimate, excellent for vocals but less spacious and less airy.
Annihilator 23: Extreme treble detail and forward mids; Ti is more balanced and comfortable.
Maven II: Reference-neutral with a smaller stage; Ti feels more immersive and musical.
10. Conclusion
The Canpur CP622B Ti is a thoughtful evolution rather than a complete overhaul. It sacrifices some of the original’s lush bass and warmth for better ba...
These are incredibly easy to listen to. Spacious sounding and eveloping oneself in the envronment of the original recording. Truly, it is pure immersion. Comfortable. Forgiving. Soulful. Laid back, but not boring.
first time seeing the fortune in pictures I was stunned by how it looks. so I blind buy and hoping the sound will be as good as it looks and it didn't disappoint. Fortune gives you the spaciousness where you can pinpoint every instruments with clarity. from high , mids and lows the music just flows smoothly to your ears. UM does a fantastic job with its tuning! its a great fortune i have this on my collection. also thank you musicteck for great service!
I should preface this by saying, my experience with flagship totl iem's is very limited.
Design wise, pictures don't do it justice. It is beautiful to look at and admire the craftmanship. One thing to note is that, while they look and feel gorgeous, I did some light polishing with a silver polish cloth and boy did they came alive. Cable is soft and has a lot of detail on the plugs as well as a little pattern on the cable sleeves. It compliments well the look of the iems.
Looks are understandably a turn off to some, just like Shogun, for how much they could attract attention when you are out and about. In my case it's not a factor since I would never take a $4k+ device out for lets say a run or do some shopping. These are strictly for home use, maybe have them around on the office, but that's about it.
I currently only own the noble Shogun and Thieaudio Valhalla in that similar category of price and flagship level, and most of my collection is on the $1,500 and below. And of those mentioned I would say I enjoy The shogun more than the Valhalla, if only by a small margin.
The BGVP Wukong is basically a whole other thing in comparison. Bass hits hard but controlled. Sub bass feels big, maybe just a bit less than Shogun in quantity but with great quality. Mids and vocals are clear, crisp and forward. Treble is detailed, clear and airy without feeling harsh.
No expert here, not even close but in my experience with Wukong for the past couple of weeks, this is definitely the best I have heard an iem sound. Every genre I've tried, sounds good, a pleasure to listen to.
There may be iem's that may have better technical ability than Wukong, but the whole package plus it's sound, I think it's hard to beat.
They work beautifully and look super nice on my DAP !!!
Currently I owned Astell&Kern SP3000, Lotoo Paw Touch Titianum and Sony WM1ZM2, honestly Hiby RS8II easily beat these old flagships with soudstage and sound imaging. Its sound is so clear that it might be too intenses. Either way definitely one of the best ultra-flagship I have ever heard in DAP.
