The TRUTHEAR NOVA is a 1DD+4BA hybrid IEM with a 3-way crossover, a 10mm dynamic driver, 123dB/Vrms sensitivity and a single-crystal copper 0.78mm 2-pin cable, with an optional kit that adds the KEYX USB-C DAC. It suits listeners stepping up to a five-driver hybrid who like to experiment with ear tips.
Who the TRUTHEAR NOVA is for
Multi-driver upgrade: A 10mm dynamic driver handles bass, a dual balanced armature covers the mids and part of the treble, and a second dual balanced armature takes the top end.
Relaxed listening: TRUTHEAR describes the NOVA as warm, soft, clear and natural, with slightly less bass gain than the Harman IE 2019 curve.
Tip experimenters: Dual-flange and foam tips come in the box, and TRUTHEAR says the dual-flange tips shift the treble resonance peak higher for clearer highs.
Phones and dongles: The 3.5mm cable fits DAPs and dongles, and the With KEYX DAC kit adds a CS43131 USB-C to 3.5mm dongle for phones without a headphone jack.
Skip it if: you need a 4.4mm balanced cable or an in-line mic; the NOVA ships with one 3.5mm cable.
Kit options: IEMs Only, or With KEYX DAC (adds the TRUTHEAR KEYX CS43131 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC/amp)
In the box: NOVA IEMs, cable, 3 pairs ear tips (S/M/L), 2 pairs dual-flange tips, 1 pair foam tips (M), manual
