Comment: Already more than a decade old, it's time to move on. Would rather listen to the default samsung wired earpiece than this. Just no Literally everything apart from the subpar imaging

Sounds like a typical dynamic IEM. Slightly bloated bass and narrow staging.

A relic of the past that should be avoided by any self-respecting audiophile who wants good sound.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D
  • Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Bass D
It hints at bass presence but never quite delivers satisfying punch. Percussion lacks a satisfying weight.
Mids D-
The mids come across papery and weak, draining warmth from the mix. Acoustic tracks sound brittle and distant.
Treble D-
Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.
Dynamics E-
Dynamics barely flicker, leaving energetic sections strangely subdued. There's no punch to latch onto.
Soundstage C
Stereo spread is acceptable, yet the image resembles a stage set without depth behind the curtain. Depth feels more like a gentle slope.
Details D-
Texture feels soft-focus as low-level information dissolves into a general haze. Complex passages turn into a fog.
Imaging D-
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.
