These are the best (read: my preferred) earbuds as of yet soundwise. Their sole real annoyance is their size, which makes them by and large impossible to wear for some, and difficult for others (me included). I’m keeping them as they sound so well that I do use them – for short sessions – every now and then in spite of that.
Very obviously mid-centric, backed by well calibrated yet un-extended basses and highs.
Sub-Bass
Sharply rolled off. Acoustic contrabbasso, to name one, is quite anemic in its lower segment.
Mid Bass
Not elevated yet very present when callef for, it’s fast, dry, controlled, and quite punchy.
Mids
Clearly the star of the show. Forward, featuring snappy transients, and great detailing. Masterful.
Male Vocals
Forward and quite nice, but could use more body.
Female Vocals
Bodied, even flutey, just spectacular.
Highs
Very nicely rendered highmids and midtrebles, while sensibly rolled off thereafter. The parts that are indeed there are fast, at times even sparkly, never zingy, actually sometimes even a tad “too polite”
Technicalities
Soundstage
Airy and extended in all directions, it’s a wonder.
Imaging
Voices are distributed very well on the stage, well distanced and separated
Details
Quite significant in quantity but a feeling is left that “they could be even more” if treble had been made a tad less “polite”
Instrument separation
Well done, although could be even sharper.
Driveability
Not difficult at 113dB @32 Ohm, yet some sort of amping is recommended to let them shine.
Physicals
Fit & Comfort
Not easy at all due to wider than usual housing diamater. Best anyhow worn oblique, but may be a no-go for some (check before you buy!)
Cable
Fixed, apparently reliable by annoyingly tacky and springy.
