One of the best portables in the market right now. Dont think twice if you have the budget. Just go for it. You wont regret. Yeah there are better things but for the price it is stellar dac/amp qnd punches above its competition.
The Questyle M15 is a compact yet powerful mobile HiFi DAC and amplifier. It delivers a clean and transparent sound. It avoids coloration and distortion, allowing music to shine without interference. Compared to other dongle DACs which I own like the Monolith and Dragonfly, the M15 maintains its clarity and fidelity. The M15’s standout feature is its excellent instrument separation. Each instrument occupies its own space, creating a spacious and detailed soundstage. The M15 packs a punch whether you’re using sensitive or power-hungry over-ears, the M15 adapts effortlessly. The inclusion of a balanced 4.4mm TRRS output ensures compatibility with a wide range of headphones. I am thoroughly enjoying using it. Not just a DAC. Not merely an amp. It’s a whispered promise—a symphony in your pocket. 🌟🎵

We also appreciate your comparison to other dongle DACs and how the M15 maintains its clarity and fidelity.

This amp dac is a mini power house. As mentioned by other reviewers, it can get really loud and can easily power 300 Ohms headphones like Sennheiser HD 650 and HD 600 etc.
Only nitpick would be the lack of custom EQ options, which are present in similar priced units like Lotoo Paw S2. However, just based on sound quality alone, it is indeed head and shoulders above the competition. It's battery consumption on my Samsung Galaxy S22 ultra is decent enough and doesn't seem to drain out battery. Overall, a worthy buy.
Thanks for the review! We're glad to hear that this little amp dac is a powerhouse, and the lack of EQ options is a minor quibble - in our opinion, the sound quality is worth the price. We hope you enjoy it!
Couldn't believe my ears. What a tremendous improvement from my previous DAC. My search ends here. I don't need to look for any alternative.
And the product is delivered in less than 24 hours. Thanks TAS for this great product and your superfast delivery.
Thanks for the kind words! We're glad you're enjoying your Questyle M15 Portable DAC & Amp.
In one word it is the one to beat. The sound is so subtle, so articulate so precise. Wait, it is for the connoisseurs of quality audio. You need to walk hundreds of miles to arrive at this destination.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you're enjoying the Questyle M15.
This is by far the best portable dac I’ve heard
In fact it sounds even better than the higher tier DAP
The sound is neutral, The treble is extended without being sharp or fatiguing
Needs some burn in initially to open up
Thanks to pritam for suggesting this gem
I’m truly loving this one
Highly Recommended

Let customers speak for us
from 4648 reviewsFor the price you can't get better value when comparing with TOTL iem's from other manufacturers, regardless of driver technology and implementation. The bone conduction driver works, which is always a plus.
Enough BASS, Treble not harsh. Smooth cable. Also, actually I've Tangzu Warner in my opinion, but i selected this. Satisfied with this IEM. Delivery was fast! Thank you TAS!!!!!
I was searching for mid forward, vocal centric IEM. Looking at options like oracle, mega5est etc. Mr. Pritam was kind enough to attend my numerous calls and indepth discussion and finally suggested me to penon voltage. Hefty price tag and becuz of my already good collection, I was not tempted for any iem if not drastically different sound signature. Again my man Friday Pritamji allowed me audition of his personal set of penon voltage.
Penon voltage is honestly outstanding and justify every penny.
Midst are lush and superb. Treble is outstanding. Male and female vocals are life like. Technically top notch. Base is full and extends deep and thumping. Best part is timber. Jazz, vocals and classical sounds so natural, it seems intimate and soulful. I had u12t, campfire Solaris og, now I have a 64audio volur, but voltage has etched a unique image in my soul. It's sounds like a headphone rather than an iem. Penon audio has an ace up their sleeves.
D32 is way better than expected. Sound imaging & separation is very good. Nice thumpy bass, crystal clear mids. Overall very value for money stuff. All bluetooth codec available. Supports aux in from DAP for hires audio. Fantastic overall.
For quite a long duration, I was looking for an budget IEM with a size that would perfectly sink within ear lobe and will not exert any pressure while being a couch potato , on one side. Atlast this is where the search ended.
Aurora is even a bit smaller in size than Sennheiser IE100 Pros, which were my only go to solution at late nights. I already referred to various other reviews about the sound signature of this tiny one, and was quite confident about the other end of the bargain any way. I will not be hence touch the audio signature stuff , since there are plenty detailed reviews on the youtube and many other forums already. It is the ergonomics which is mostly untouched area of any in ear type monitors, that was more profound for me in this case, for long duration of usage. Also liked the quality of the case supplied with , the whole package is absolutely incredible !
This iem fits like a glove, it is so well tuned. The sound profile changes based on what you plug it into.
I was searching for an IEM that fits comfortably for soo long and then I came acrosss this review by Acros. I immediately jumped on it as soon as he said it was light, because so many reviewers talk about how an IEM looks and sound signature and more but never about its weight and fit. He did a comparison with few similarly priced IEMS. This one when compared to Moondrop Aria which I have sounds awesome but it is a pain when wearing it for more that 30 mins. This one I have worn for 3 hours straight and nothing. Perfect for my needs.
I drive it with Fiio BTR3K specifically for the sound profile it offers, on the other ones it sounds too neutral. Thank you Audio Store for stocking this IEM.
Excellent delivery experience, it was a gift wrap.
My first time ordering from the audio store, really impressed.
And the device is marvelous.
Comfortable & Excellent quality. As per heard, i was looking adaptor for my Tangzu Warner sg wired IEM. This KZ AE01 fulfilled my needs for bluetooth adaptor. Music sound quality is good. Fitting is also fine. Call quality is little bit low.
Otherwise ok for bluetooth conversion of IEM.
It surely enhances all parameters of sound quality like stereo effects, vocals, all frequencies, soundstage and imaging.
I am saying it based on a week experience with multiple basic IEM like EPZ Q1 pro, Simgot EW 300 DSP, Moondrop chu 2 with hiby R4 DAP.
Highly recommended to upgrade existing budget IEM.
Although Cable is thick, its very much flexible and handy. No issues while handling and carrying it because of its thickness.
It's thickness enhances overall look of IEM.
Super Bass and ultra clear vocals in
affordable price..
REVIEW AFTER ONE MONTH DAILY USE
Initially, my set up was 'Samsung S 23 ultra + Simgot ew 300 DSP' for daily music listening hobby.
While upgrading from this set up, 1st I bought HIBy R4 DAP, used it for 10 days with same IEM and then decided to go for another big upgrade for iem. After trying existing iem on multiple phones, surprisingly I observed that 'Hiby R4 DAP' is superior even on high-end phones in terms of sound quality.
While upgrading IEM, I kept below criteria and told Mr. Pritam the same.
1. IEM with crystal clear sound with all details & balanced sound.
2. Ultra wide Soundstage & clear imaging
3. Clear stereo effect
4. It should separate Instruments sounds when there are multiple instruments in song/music.
5. It should handle bass heavy songs without compromising vocals & trebles.
6. Comfortable for long hours.
Now after using it more for one month, I can say that -THIS IEM HAS FULLFIELD EACH REQUIREMENT & ASPECT OF SOUND QUALITY.
Only downside I felt that Packaging and Case should be premium in this price tag.
EXPERIENCE WITH AUDIO STORE -
I had some options for IEM in my mind based on previous listening sessions at audio store office as well as youtube & web reviews.
I recently visited audio store office two times for some other product requirement, All those previous options, I tested all of them again. I found that Mr. Pritam's suggestion to buy MK3 over other IEMs is worthy.
Thanks a million Mr. Pritam for always helping & guiding before taking any major purchase.
Superb Cable!
Works well with Zero 2
Value for money product
I am very thank full
I really like the quality of the product not only that I really like your store Too
I want to work with your company as a employee please let me know if there is any openings
I'm an IEM guy and after a long time I've been really impressed with a speaker. And at such a fantastic price point. The sound is so smooth, you can listen to it for hours without feeling fatigued, and most important thing for me was, it sounds just as good on low volume when you want to listen to something in the background, but have guests and are going to talk over it.
Incredible separation. Very good stage, fills a 10x10 area nicely (with windows closed). Bigger area and you might feel the need for two of them (heh). Excellent details on both the bass and treble. This is very much a fun sounding speaker. Female vocals are slightly more recessed than the male ones, but the separation will ensure that they come through nicely nonetheless. Drums on this thing are just a blast (literally!). Strings are so melodious.
Last but not the least, looks are killer. Everyone notices it instantly (although it blends very well with the home decor) and asks what it is. Pick it up. You cannot go wrong.
