Truthear Nova IEM | 5-Driver Hybrid Harman Target

Overview

Truth Ear Nova in Egypt

The Truthear Nova is a five-driver hybrid in-ear monitor that pairs a specialised 10mm low-distortion dynamic driver with four balanced armatures per side - two for the mids and two for the highs and ultra-highs. A PU-and-LCP composite diaphragm balances speed and control, and the result is one of the most accurate tunings in its class.

The Nova follows a Harman-leaning target closely: a neutral, natural balance with a tasteful bass shelf that adds warmth and body while staying clean and controlled. Vocals and instruments sit honest and well-placed, and the treble adds air and detail without turning sharp - a safe, reference-friendly signature that works across almost every genre and stays comfortable for hours.

A detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable keeps it serviceable and upgradeable, and at 14.8 ohm and 123 dB/Vrms it drives easily from any phone, laptop or dongle. Delivered across Egypt with cash on delivery, 14-day cover against product defects and genuine-unit verification.
