Established in 2018, AFUL began its journey with an expert acoustic team dedicated to advancing audio technology. By 2019, the team had developed prototypes featuring innovative circuit topology and acoustic structures, significantly enhancing traditional designs with BA drivers.
Through continuous technological advancements, AFUL secured three patents in 2020 and commercialized its S&E Math technology in 2021, receiving recognition from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and support from the Suzhou Municipal Government. The launch of the Performer series earphones in 2022 marked a global success.
In 2023, AFUL launched the Performer 8, continuing its innovative approach in the field of micro devices / portable audio. As Headfonia, we covered Performer 8, Performer 5, Magic One, Explorer, and Flagship Cantor IEMs on Headfonia. You can check out those reviews by clicking on their names. Let’s get to today’s highlight without further ado.
AFUL Performer 5+2
The AFUL Performer 5+2 (aka. Performer 7) fills a niche in the $200 price range, which sees less competition compared to the more crowded $100 and $300 brackets. This tribrid IEM features a 7-driver setup, combining two dynamic drivers, four balanced armature drivers, and a micro planar driver. It also incorporates several patented technologies from AFUL’s Performer series, such as the RLC network passive crossover, a 3D-printed acoustic tube structure, and an air pressure management system.
The IEMs feature 3D printed resin shells with faceplates inspired by Suzhou Gardens. These aesthetic faceplates feature a triangular pattern with blue-green glitter accents.
