Warm, fun, relaxing tuning while still keeping some nice detail retrieval. Engineered to work with higher impedance sources without much change. Good Accessories.

Youtube Video Summary

Tekusai Lucid brings a tri-brid setup (PZT + BA + dynamic) at around $170, wrapped in a tiny, metallic shell that’s well-vented and easy to cable-swap thanks to a flat 2-pin. Build is tidy if understated—bland faceplate, but a comfortable nozzle with a good anti-tragus lip. The accessories impress: a stable 4.4 mm cable with chin slider and clear L/R dots, multiple tips, a printed frequency response card, and an excellent faux-leather case that actually adds value.

Sonically, the set leans mids/bass-forward yet struggles up top. Treble feels detached and short on air, cymbals lack realism, and drum hits don’t carry convincing power; vocals can edge toward shrill without the extension or sparkle to cleanly resolve them. The measured curve looks polite but shows a dip in the upper-presence/8 kHz region, translating to limited incisiveness and contrast—more “dull knife” than precision scalpel—so fatigue creeps in despite the generally smooth tonality.

As an upgrade path from entry sets like Hola/Gate, the appeal is clear, but competition at this bracket is fierce. Alternatives mentioned—including value standouts like AFUL Explorer, planar options such as S08, and even used-market picks like Performer 7—offer more clarity and treble definition for similar money. The Lucid earns a solid C: acceptable tuning and great build/pack-ins, potentially compelling for small ears or those prioritizing form factor, yet outclassed on contrast and air. Gaming-wise, there’s no magic—any good IEM works—so unless the miniature fit and accessories seal the deal, better sonic value exists.
