First impression after about 5-6 songs:
I completely agree with
@ClieOS ranking so far. I also would hold it just a step above Cygnus. It seems a bit more natural and balanced than Cygnus IMO. Bass depth and extension is very excellent. It is able to reach sub bass notes. It is not a bass cannon but it is very capable of reaching deep and sounding good.
One of my test suites for all new headphones is Bass Mekanik - Quad Maximus. I love this CD to death. It is one of the best I know for testing bass impact and depth as well as clarity in the rest of the audio spectrum. The Auglamour was able to reach lower bass notes than I expected. Nothing muddy or unclear ever. I am very impressed.
It, like the Monk, has a shockingly natural and well balanced song, although this is definitely quite a few steps above the Monk.
All genres I have tried yet sound awesome. This is a very natural sounding and well balanced earbud. It is better than the Asura 2.0 and I think I might take it over the Cygnus.
The cable is a little rubbery but I can forgive it.
The included extras and packaging is simply top notch. Very intricate. First you remove the shinkwrap, separate the two halves of the plastic shell from each other by removing the rubber wristband on the outside. Pick up the wooden phone stand/earbud holder, the rest of the wire for the earbuds goes into a box below it with the logo cutout. Open that box up, take out a zip case with the AG logo on it, inside there find the AG branded seafoam colored rubber wristband with the rest of the cable, a metal AG logo, and the foams/shirt clip. The wooden phone stand is a crazy nice touch.
So it's a winner in sound quality and packaging. Tested it on miami bass, hip hop, female vocal J-Pop, 80s industrial and 90s house... I have 0 complaints here except it's too bad Amazon smashed the outer plastic shell. At least everything was safe on the inside v

Just using the foams it came with BTW. I think it might be just a bit too bright for me if I used donuts or MP foams. Probably will put the Hiegis on them when I get those in the mail.
