Introduction

ZEPHONE was founded in 1997, dedicating itself to the audio space in the form of music players and earphones first, before moving on to other accessories including cables. The company is also an OEM partner to a few other brands in China, Japan, and the US, although it keeps customer information quite private, while hinting these are likely names we have heard of. From 2009 onward, ZEPHONE also entered the headphone and premium earphone market to meet the increasing needs and disposable income of the customer base. Today we examine its latest entry to the headphone space, and thanks to Linsoul for providing a review sample to TechPowerUp!


The ZEPHONE Tiger is named so for a multitude of reasons as it pertains to the Chinese culture, and you might expect one of those to surely be this year being that of the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac. The real reference is to a general from a few centuries ago, but all that matters for nought in the global market, when compared to the bottom line that this is a set of over-ear, open-back headphones employing planar magnetic drivers. Linsoul claims "ZEPHONE is truly a hidden gem in the HiFi industry. With pure goal of providing high class headphones for the community, ZEPHONE really received a lot good feedback from its users", and these are lofty words to live up to. Let's put them to the test in our review today which begins with a look at the product specifications in the table below.
