Just the right amount of warmth to have lush mids while retaining clarity. Treble is clear and sparkly but very smooth - not fatiguing at all for me - could be because the treble is handled by BC?. First time I've heard anything from this brand - I bought it on a whim because it looks so pretty, and I ended up pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoy the sound! So easy to listen to and enjoy.

Clean and open signature with slight treble emphasis. Not airy, but more sharp. Great resolution and imaging. Relatively safe tuning.

BQEYZ Winter aims for a neutral-bright balance: clear mids, crisp yet smooth treble, and a tight low end that favors definition over slam. Its hybrid setup pairs a 12 mm dynamic driver with an 11.6 mm PZT bone-conduction unit that supplements upper-mids/treble for extra texture and air . Tonally it reads bright-neutral with mild warmth in the bass and a restrained sub-bass shelf, which suits listeners who prioritize clarity over heavy impact .

Technical performance is a strong point: imaging and instrument separation are precise, and the stage feels airy with tidy placement rather than cavernous width . Treble can edge bright on hot masters and tip choice/fit matters, but detail retrieval is competitive at the price. At an MSRP of $239, Winter is an easy mid-tier recommendation for those who value speed and articulation over bass heft .
