It might be the first time you hear about this Chi-Fi company:- Astrotec, which have previously produced some premium high end IEMs. Recently, they have announced their brand new ultra affordable product - Astrotec Vesna. Keephifi have recently provided me with a pair of Astrotec Vesna for my honest opinion, I do hope that you find my review info useful. I am no way affiliated with Keephifi or Astrotec, and the review below is solely based on my honest opinion. Below attached is the link to purchase the IEM unit if you are interested (do support them), thank you.

Driver: Japan 2nd Gen LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) Diaphragm

Fit/Comfort: 

Definitely a comfortable fit due to its lightweight design, and the earbuds that came along are comfy, build material feels premium and not cheap. Overall shape is bullet, similar to OnePlus Bullets. The cables do feel premium and does not tangle easily.

Sound: 

Overall balanced and neutral profile, male and female vocals are clear and not underwhelming. Sound could be improved using good Amplifiers as it demands for more power. Details are clear and acceptable as compared to other similarly priced IEMs. Slightly V-shaped sound and increases with volume. 

Bass: 

Vesna produces neutral, moderate and clean bass, suitable for daily music listening, but kinda disappointing for basshead. Bass is strong but cannot be compared to high-end IEMs. However there is no bass bleed. Overall acceptable bass for affordable this unit. 

Treble: 

Vesna produces smooth, gentle, open and airy treble and can be compared with mid range IEMs. Overall above average treble for this unit. 

Mids: 

Mids produced by Vesna is natural, crisp and clear, and full of richness. Overall midbass is quite flat but acceptable. 

Soundstage: 

Overall medium quality soundstage but not the widest due to the limitation of single dynamic driver. Instrumental separation is good and acceptable, but congestion is noticeable on complex tracks. 

Conclusion: 

Astrotec Vesna is definitely a good choice in terms of build quality and performance especially for beginners in the Hi-Fi music world. It is affordable in terms of pricing and suitable for those who seek for quality music but doesn't want to spend a fortune. However, do not expect much if you are a basshead. 

Thank you.
