Today, we’re looking at the new $99 USD Dynabird IEMs from Oriveti.
Disclaimer: Oriveti supplied us with the Dynabird for this review. As always, I am here to write about my honest experience with the product.
Oriveti designs high-performance audio gear. They are known for their innovative technologies and unique designs. Founded in 2015 and based in Hong Kong, the company uses its rich experience in the audio industry to push the boundaries of sound design.
I first encountered Oriveti in 2016 through their Primacy IEM, which impressed me with its three-driver setup, excellent tonal balance and cohesive sound signature. Since then I’ve kept a close eye on Oriveti, and here at Headfonia, we have reviewed some of their offerings in the past.
Oriveti recently launched “bleqk” series, and in this article, we will be looking at the first IEM of the line-up. At first glance, Dynabird looks like an OD100 on steroids. We loved the OD100 and awarded it with our recommendation. Can Dynabird top-up OD100’s already excellent performance? That’s what we’ll find out. If you missed that review, you can read the award-winning OD100 below:

The Dynabird is Oriveti’s budget performer, featuring a custom dual-chamber 9.2mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver. As the first representative of the new bleqk series, it features a CNC-milled aluminum shell & ergonomic design. Oriveti states that Dynabird is tuned to deliver a musical, dynamic presentation, hence the name Dyna-bird. Oriveti Bleqk Dynabird costs $99 USD directly from Oriveti.

The Dynabird comes in a medium square box with a new minimalist design. The Bleqk series and model name are subtly presented, a refreshing change from the more typical cluttered packaging. The specifications are detailed on the back of the outer sleeve, while the top features the Oriveti logo in black. Pulling off the sleeve reveals a striking black box with a wood grain finish that feels more premium than standard cardboard – a nice touch that adds to the unboxing experience.
Upon opening the box, you’re greeted by a compartment with a flap that displays Bleqk’s motto, “Basic Line Exquisite Quality Kept” in glossy black lettering. Lifting this flap reveals a grey fabric-textured carrying case, spacious enough to hold the Dynabird and a portable DAC. The interior is lined with velvet, and there’s a small mesh pocket for tips or other small accessories. My first impression of the Dynabird itself was that the aluminum finish looked darker and more polished in person than in the online images – this shiny gunmetal grey finish is absolutely stunning and adds a touch of elegance to the design.
In a small box labeled ‘Accessories” you’ll find two sets of ear tips: four pairs of wide, dark grey tips and three pairs of white, narrower tips. In my experience, the white tips produce a more balanced sound because their thicker outer walls provide a tighter seal and a slightly warmer tone.
Oriveti also includes a new four-core, braided Bleqk cable. The 3.5mm plug fits snugly, and while there’s no 4.4mm option yet, the gunmetal-coloured plugs and splitter goes well with the Dynabird’s gunmetal finish. Like almost all of Oriveti’s stock cables, this one is flexible, free of microphonics, and feels solid in terms of build quality.
The Dynabird has a CNC-milled metal chassis with a sleek gunmetal finish, with each earpiece weighing around 8-10 grams. It features a medium-length nozzle and 2-pin 0.78mm connectors. The circular faceplate has a textured finish and subtly displays the model and brand name. While the design lines are similar to the Oriveti OD100, the Dynabird offers noticeable improvements, particularly in terms of fit. The slightly larger, angled 2-pin housing improves ergonomics and makes the ear position feel more refined and professional – a step above what you might expect at this price point.
Wearing the Dynabird, you’ll notice a dynamic driver vent on the forward-facing side and another vent on the nozzle end. If you plan to use third-party ear tips, be careful not to block the nozzle vent, as this could affect sound quality.
The structure and angle of the nozzle are very similar to the OD100, providing a deep and comfortable fit. The specially designed nozzle filter is a departure from standard mesh grilles and enhances the earphones both aesthetically and functionally. The fit is similar to the OD100 but offers a tighter, more secure fit in the ear, especially with the white ear tips supplied. This makes the Dynabird comfortable for extended use, whether you’re running, commuting, or just relaxing. The design has improved over the OD100, particularly in fit and finish.
