Packaging and Accessories

To no surprise, Truthear continues the trend of having artwork of the brand's female mascot on the product box. The brand logo and product names are also seen here in addition to the driver composition at the bottom. More useful is the factory frequency response curve on the back to give you an idea of what to expect tonally from these IEMs, and a render of the internals shows the driver distribution as well. Product specs in multiple languages are also found here and on the side is a slogan which was generated by ChatGPT—I was there live on Discord when this happened! The outer sleeve can be slid off the inner box from the top or bottom revealing a predominantly black cardboard box with further branding on the front. The lid can be lifted up to reveal a quick start guide going over the use of IEMs if you are new to them and underneath is a thick foam sheet with machined cutouts to snugly hold the IEMs themselves. On the left is another foam sheet to hold the ear tips and there is a third compartment below for the other accessories.


Truthear is fairly generous with ear tips that come with the NOVA. I went in expecting to see the same offerings as found on the previous Truthear IEMs but this time round we get two different sets of double-flanged silicone ear tips in addition to foam, all in size M, as well as three sets of more generic single-flanged silicone ear tips in sizes S/M/L. The double-flanged and foam ear tips can help achieve a deeper fit as well as help push the ear canal resonance to higher frequencies and tame the treble response slightly if that is to your preference. The single-flanged silicone tips would be more all-rounders and how most of the tuning work is usually done. Do try all of them and see what works best for you.


Another change from other Truthear IEMs comes with the new carry/storage case. It's more a bag that is well-designed for transport given the flatter form factor and the integrated carabiner. The bag appears to be made of protein leather and is well stitched together while also feeling durable enough to do the job. There's a large, heavy-duty zipper in use too so I don't feel like you'd need to purchase an aftermarket case unless you need more space. The bag opens up partially from the top to reveal a padded lining and the IEM cable inside. There is plenty of room for the IEMs with the cable and ear tips but not much more than that.
