Joyodio SHINE-The Inspiration of Light&Shadow
As a brand focusing on innovative design and its unique aesthetics, this time Joyodio is presenting an earphone inspired by light and shadow-SHINE. Light cannot be touched but still exists in every corner of our life. At the darkest moment comes the light. In our interpretation, light is the flipside of shadow. The SHINE earphone is an exquisite masterpiece with fabulous tuning switches that will amaze everyone in every detail.
1DD+2BA Hybrid HiFi IEM
The SHINE in ear earphone adopts hybrid technology to display extraordinary timbre and breakthrough performance. Featuring an innovative high-performance 7mm dual magnetic&dual cavity dynamic driver, complemented with 29689 and 30019 balanced armatures, SHINE is tuned to be overall smooth and natural in full frequency. Specially the bass is powerful and clear, while the mids&high are rich, clean and listenable.
4-Level Adjustable Tuning Switch
The best feature out of SHINE must be the 4-level adjustable patented tuning switch. Designed based on multi-channel frequency crossover, using adjacent frequency band crosstalk suppression and phase compensation technology, the low frequency, high frequency and ultra-high frequency work smoothly on SHINE. Moreover up to 16 styles of different tuning can be reached.
3D-Printed Sound Tubes&High-end Zinc Alloy Faceplate
Comfort is another factor we care about more than appearance. The ergonomic design of SHINE is based on an in-depth study of the human ear contour. The included soft silicone eartips improve the tightness of the earplugs and it can effectively isolate noise. With 3D-printed resin shell and lightweight metal faceplate, SHINE is comfortable to wear even for long session.
8-Strand Detachable Silver-plated Cable
Premium 8-strand silver-plated cable is chosen for SHINE to better protect the signal transmission, while it also has excellent conductivity to provide stable and high-quality sound for headphones. The multi-strand braiding technique effectively shield the interference signal, so that you can enjoy high-quality music freely.
Joyodio SHINE-Experience the Fun of Light and Shadow
Joyodio was founded with the intention of bringing trendsetting headphone designs and innovative acoustic technology to audiophile around the world. With that concept in mind, Joyodio has independently pioneered the development of 4-level adjustable tuning switch in-ear monitor, setting a new standard for the industry.
The newly launched model-SHINE is conceived in terms of light and shadow. The warm sunlight cannot be seen or touched, but you can feel the warmth in every part of you, like the shadow by your side, giving you hope and strength.
We contribute light and heat in our own way, and right now, Joyodio is with you to witness your "Shine" moment. From the exquisite casing to the commendable 4-level tuning switch and the 3D-printed tube construction, SHINE has considered every aspect, down to the smallest detail, in order to incorporate Joyodio's high-end headphone concept into these headphones.

Customer Reviews
These are a good set of iems in the <$100 category. I purchased my set for $30 on sale and would say that if you can get them on sale, its a no-brainer buy. This set of iems is well worth the $80 asking price.
The standard tuning is comfortable and slightly U-shaped. The treble is inoffensive; I haven't encountered any sibilance except when switch 3 is on. The mids are slightly recessed, but still detailed and cohesive. The bass can be a little lacking for bass-heads or people looking for a real punch, but it is natural and clear. Overall the tuning is pleasing and the addition of the 4 tuning switches allow for a decent amount of tweaking based on preference. I personally have the first, second, and fourth switch on which provides a more V-shaped tuning which I quite enjoy. I highly encourage anyone that buys these to spend time messing with the switches.
The "wow-factor" of these iems is absolutely in the detail, soundstage, and imaging. While not being in-your-face, they present details with sparkle that grabs your attention almost constantly. Additionally, the placement of these details is precise and moves naturally across the quite wide soundstage. The only nitpick I have with this set is their tendency to make some elements sound distant at times. This can be remedied simply by turning the volume up, but that isn't ideal.
The build is decent. The shells are two parts, half typical translucent plastic, half shiny chrome plastic. They have a good look in my opinion, and aren't too large despite the 4 switches on each iem. They aren't heavy, and I find them to fit quite comfortably in my ears. The shape is generic and should fit most people's ears without issue. The wire is typical for iems in this price category; It's nothing to write home about, but at the same time nothing to complain about.
Overall I would certainly recommend these if you're looking for a wider soundstage and good details that are always comfortable. At $80 they're a good deal, and at anything $50 or below they're a must-buy.
The standard tuning is decent but the switches do not improve on it. The headphone is limited by average resolution and very narrow staging.
I have not seen a product under the 100USD range that has switches and the SHINE caught my attention.
The earphones come with a handful of ear tips and a carry case but I have only tested it with the black ear tips that are already on them.
The cable material and colour look similar to that of the TinHiFi T2 Pro except for the connectors. I don't like both QDC and MMCX designs.
That being said, the earphones are well-made and the faceplate does seem "high-end" as advertised. However, with the black ear tips, the earbuds tend to stick out of my ears. Not a dealbreaker but it does affect the seal and isolation to a small extent.
The standard mode, with the switches unadjusted, provided an underwhelming first sound impression. Much power was needed to drive the earphones as well.
I did not expect much changes from the switches initially but to my surprise, they did make a difference, and a better one. It is pretty obvious when you compare the standard mode with the rest of the adjusted ones, especially with all the switches up. My personal preference is the HIFI mode with the 4th switch turned up.
I believe it will be a fun experience if you have not tried earphones with switches that do actually make a difference when adjusted.
JOYODIO seems to be a new company. With this experience with SHINE, I am excited to see what the company has to offer in the future.
JOYODIO SHINE is neutral-tuned IEMs with an adjustable switch system for sound quality.
JOYODIO SHINE has a U-shaped sound signature that is close to neutral. By tweaking the tuning switch, it is possible to make the sound much closer to flat.
Although JOYODIO SHINE has some difficulties in the high frequency range, the overall sound is very well arranged, and the adjustment by the switch is quite appropriate. It is true that the individual sounds of the switches are lacking when viewed as stand-alone sounds, but the fact that 16 different sounds can be enjoyed is a great advantage. Moreover, the direction of the adjustment is reasonable, and it works quite effectively except for the high frequency switch.
It is surprising that the product is so well made for such a low price of almost $100.
