The bass roll-off issue of the original is somewhat fixed, though at the cost of everything else.

Midrange, especially the upper-midrange, is literally a black hole alright.

Youtube Video Summary

Intuaura Purple brings a polished, pricey package: lush purple shells, a comfy fit, and a cable that looks the part—even if the accessories feel recycled from cheaper siblings. The kicker is the optional DSP dongle (~$65) that re-voices the set; without it, the Purple already sounds clean, punchy, and engaging, with strong clarity and respectable stage. Snap the DSP on and the tuning shifts toward flatter, smoother treble and tidier FR, but soundstage shrinks a notch and the presentation loses some air. It’s a dramatic EQ-by-hardware move—effective, yes, but it turns one IEM into two different takes, which raises the question: which tuning is “the” Purple?

As a pure IEM at $650, Purple holds up: comfortable, easy to enjoy across sources, and free of obvious sibilance when left stock. Compared to lower-priced models that seem to need their DSP to shine, this one doesn’t; the dongle just complicates the decision with a second signature riding shotgun. Verdict: a confident 8/10 for the IEM itself—good build, enjoyable tonality, solid technicals—tempered by the mental tax of the bolt-on DSP path. Buy for the purple “puppy”; don’t let the extra “Honda Civic” in the box talk you into second-guessing what already works.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Bass E+
Expect a lightweight response that keeps rumble and warmth at arm’s length. Low-end ambience dissipates quickly.
Mids E+
The mids come across papery and weak, draining warmth from the mix. Acoustic tracks sound brittle and distant.
Treble E+
Treble feels muted, reducing brilliance and sheen across tracks. Recordings lack their usual energy.
Dynamics E+
Dynamics remain compressed, muting nuance and softening impact. Climaxes never quite lift off.
Details E+
You hear the song, but the fine etchings that add realism are missing in action. It's a struggle to parse individual parts.
Imaging E+
Layering blurs because positional cues can't stay locked in place. Layering suffers from constant smearing.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
