Yet, despite it’s vibrant, lively display, this earphone remains capable of nailing the subtlety of bass notes and percussion. The Canary’s low end comes across as natural and luscious, with a deep, powerful resonance. Sound pressure level comes in at a solid 100 dB, and as such volume remains a non-issue. A low nominal impedance compliments this wealth of detail, allowing the Canary to jive with smartphones and personal audio players (like the new FiiO M11). Here we get a glimpse of an incredibly wide frequency one – with a large amount of it falling outside the range of human hearing. Terminating in a slightly hefty 3.5mm plug, the cabling on the Canary feels as un-compromising as the design of the earphones themselves. The cabling too, provides another strong point: the braided silver-and-copper affair measures a solid standard 48 inches. Though the housing is not exactly small, it still fits comfortably in my ear. During my listening sessions, I was amazed at how well-built it appears.

CANARY EMAIL REVIEW DRIVERS
Utilizing dual push pull/barometric dynamic drivers, as well as four BA drivers and two Electro-Static drivers, the Canary offers four-way crossover and some impressive specs.īut around this aura of technological sophistication exists an earphone that feels solid and real.

Outwardly, though, the AAW Canary exudes a clean and classy appearance, with a pearlescent faceplate and gold lettering. A cluster of drivers, connected via a web of wires, drives home the intricacy and precision underlying its solid construction. Inside a semi-translucent housing, the Canary’s guts shine like so many precious stones. Alongside the earphone, you get some Final Audio E-Type eartips, a cleaning cloth, a 1/4” stereo adapter, and an airline adapter. The AAW Canary comes in a small wooden carrying case, with some extra accessories in tow. But is it worth the money? AAW Canary Review At a hefty $1999 asking-price, the Canary might sing a pricey tune. Today I’m looking at the AAW Canary, a hybrid isobaric IEM from Singapore-based Advanced Audio Werks. Outside my office window, a gentle rain murmurs over streets and sidewalks, spurring on the steady flow of foot traffic. Sitting here in the MajorHiFi review office, I’m slowly musing over all earphones I have reviewed over the years.
