“The flagship Avant is fun to listen to, technically competent, and provides some of the best BA lows I have heard in a long time. The intricacy of the printing, the detail in the curvature, and the Flex Fit Pro nozzle produce one of the most accurate fits in a custom I have reviewed to date. Throw on that total block filter and it’s way better than ANC, I promise you that.”

“The flagship Avant stands as the epitome of Soundz’ innovative expertise. It delivers impressive sound quality, particularly appealing to audiophiles seeking a fine blend of technical excellence and smooth, lifelike reproduction, thanks to its well tuned signature.”

“I will be awarding the Avant from Soundz a place in the Audiophile-Heaven Hall Of Fame, for being one of the most enjoyable IEMs, and despite coming from a company I just heard a product from, offering a sound that’s not just respectably good, but actually engaging, lively, yet smooth and mature. Soundz Avant is one of the best universal or custom IEMs you can grab right now for their price point.”

“The Flame ticks a lot of boxes – it can play neutral but musical if you refer to a flatter tuning, or kick the bass into high gear and provide an almost DD level of physicality to go along with that BA crispness if you want something more flavored and fun”

“With the Avant, Soundz has managed to craft a reference listening tool that is not devoid of musicality. An earphone that combines master-class technicalities and neutral tuning with plenty of emotion rarely found in similar products. With a pro-level fit and comfort, excellent build quality, great passive noise attenuation and a very competitive price, especially for the custom edition, the Soundz Avant is a true flagship that has absolutely nothing to fear from similar products of the mainstream competition.”

“I think the Avants are perfect for what they are! You are looking for all the details, you want the top-of-the-line, the best that they can make. These feel like the IEMs you originally purchased because you want to f@!#g know exactly what is going on with your music!”

“The Avant is a strong addition to the high-end IEM market and, as absurd as it may sound, represents strong value relative to many competitors. Its bass performance is especially noteworthy with a tasteful bass-boost that is equally viable with immersive mode on or off. While the tuning doesn’t target perfect accuracy, it is a well-balanced and engaging monitor great for musical engagement.”
