CrossRoads' Woody One
Variation: Black / White (color)
Transducer: Single 10mm Dynamic
Spec: 32Ω (@1kHz) | 18Hz~ 22kHz | 105+4dB SPL
Cord Style: Y-cord, 1.30m.
Mini Jack Style: {┏━} style, light build.
Eartips Used: Bi-flanges
Physical Properties:
┣ Packaging: ★★★
┣ Accessories: ★★★★
┣ Build Quality: ★★★☆
┣ Isolation: ★★★☆
┣ Microphonics: ★★★★
┣ Comfort: ★★★★★
┗ Quick Sum: Packaging is pretty plain and simple. Inside, you will find the IEM, a wooden case as big as the packaging itself, 4 set of different sized single flange eartips (L, M, S, XS), and 1 set of bi-flanges. Due to the use of wooden housing, a bit of care is needed as it won't take abuse well. Isolation is better than average. Microphonics is quite good though I do like to see a shirt clip. Comfort is good if you have mid to big size ears. User will small ears might not get a good seal easily due to the large earpieces.
Sound Quality:
┣ Treble: ★★★
┣ Mid: ★★★★
┣ Bass: ★★★☆
┣ Soundstage: ▆ ▄ ▂ ▂ ▂ ▄ ▆ - Good / Average
┣ ABF: [Low]
┣ Overall SQ: [ 3.7 / 5]
┗ Quick Sum: The overall sound signatures is very warm with big deep bass, full, upfront mid and a smooth upper end. Bass is big, deep, and slightly wet with a moderate attacking speed. Not really very refined but does retain enough control to not sound too boomy or muddy. Mid is full and upfront which tend to sound best with male vocal but not as well on female vocal. Upper mid and especially the treble sound pretty smooth without a lot of upper end sparkle and detail. No sibilance to speak of. Soundstage is slightly better than average and not as good as Woody Two.
Overall Value: [ 3.8 / 5] - US$95 (estimation)
Final Remark: See Woody Two's. (In-depth review can be found here)

┣ ABF: [Low]
┣ Overall SQ: [ 3.7 / 5]
┗ Quick Sum: The overall sound signatures is on the warm side yet still well balanced without any obvious flaw. Bass goes pretty deep but not as much as Woody One nor has its pronounced rumbling quantity. However, It does has a better sense of control in speed and attack. Mid is well balanced with a more upfront upper vocal (which is what makes female vocal sweet to listen). Treble is well extended with good highlight and sparkle which give great detail close to the point of being analytical. Soundstage is quite good and have a sense of airiness. Sibilance is minimum at worst and only very brief during the brightest passage.
Overall Value: [ 3.8 / 5] - US$95 (estimation)
Final Remark: Both Woodies seem to be more for in house rather than outdoor use and probably not be as versatile as their little brother, the Quattro, but they do offer more in what they have. If SQ is the only concern, I certainly prefer both over Quattro. I am not sure whether it is because of the use of wooden/metal housing or any other reason, but both woodies seem to have a distinct lushness in their sound that set them apart from other IEM even though one might consider the sound to be colored. Those who like big bass and smooth top will love Woody One and those who like well balanced sound will love Woody Two. Between the two, I think most people will be well covered.
