Ar Audio Aurora Reviews

Ar Audio Aurora reviewed by:

Drew / Audionotions 7.5 Reviewer Score
Balanced (with some warmth) with good timbre. Nicely textured and punchy bass. Rich mids and lush vocals, both male and female. Resolution is decent. Imaging and stage are good. Treble is smooth and relaxed, perhaps a little bit on the darker side of what I'd prefer but still present and airy. Transients are decent but not standout. An excellent all-rounder IEM but expensive for what you get. Previously Owned

Endgame "balanced-basshead" set. Amazing low-end texutre, rumble, reverb, slam, and more bass than Origin and Titan - goes harder than those. Vocals and treble also still well extended, not congested, or cramped staging. Good balance while giving amazing fun bass. Recommend Azla Sedna light blue tips for more air, or Divinus Velvets. EQ down -3dbs at 250hz, low-shelf, 0.5 Q, and you'll get the Endgame IE target (my all-rounder target).
