Just saw that the DZAT DT-05 is released, anyone have any impressions of them?
@Keller I received the DT-05 yesterday.
@VinceHill24 posted some comments about them a few weeks ago. I think most of the people who will be receiving their DT-05s in the next few weeks purchased them with no information as to how they sound. Like me, I think their purchase was based on an interesting and good looking design.
I purchased these from the banned Ail seller and paid an extra $4 for ePacket shipping so received these in a little over 2 weeks. (lately 7wks has been the norm to Canada thru Ali regular shipping)
These arrived in their retail package which is one of nicest I have seen to date. The packaging reflects quality and attention to detail. It is evident that DZAT has a put a lot of pride in this their flagship earphone. The earphone itself is every bit as good looking in person as in the photos. The cable is very nice with twisted black and silver wires in a clear coating, fit and finish on the earphone itself is excellent. The cable is formed to fit around the ear but is not memory wire and can't be changed to personal preference. I find that for a large earphone the fit is very good.
I am cautious of out of the box impressions since I often find mine to be incorrect. Having said that I think the OTB impression of this earphone is important.
Before I give an impression of the sound, I must let you know that I am not normally a fan of heavy bass earphones and a few days ago I received the Havi B3 Pros and have spent quite a bit of time with them over the last couple days.
So OTB I found the DT-05 to be very bass heavy. the mids were forward and the treble seemed to be missing. I have the DZAT DF-10 and like them very much so I felt I needed to spend some time with the DT-05s to allow my brain to make the adjustment from the Havi. So I spent 3 hrs with them last night and 2 hrs this morning. When comparing the DF-10 to the DT-05 I realized just how big sounding the DT-05s are. I also found that once I found the treble that its presence became more and more evident. By the time I stopped listening to the DT-05s last night I was starting to feel that the sound signature that DZAT had decided on for the DT-05 is one that I might come to enjoy. The 2 hrs listening this morning was spent mainly on rock or electronic music with female vocals and I found that I quite enjoyed the DT-05s.
A quick break down of how I perceived the sound of the DT-05
Treble - recessed, has detail, is not as bright or extended as **** 4in1 or KZ ZST, no harshness or sibilance, lacks sparkle
Mids - forward (if they weren't forward they would be overwhelmed by the bass)
Bass - full yet has control and can also be fairly tight when required sub bass is very present.
Conclusion - I like to have a variety of earphones with different sound signatures and DT-05 has more bass presence that anything else I have at present so for me they are a worthwhile purchase and I think that I will grow to like them even more over time. Some earphones like that Havi have wowed me at first listen, the DT-05 did not but they are growing on me. So if you have these on order be prepared to spend some time with them when you get them as your OTB opinion of them might change as mine did. If you are considering their purchase, then like
@VinceHill24 recommended I also recommend waiting until some more impressions come in to see if you feel these will be a good fit for you personal preference.
