Tips: Small silicon tips Build: Colored resin. Comfort: Perfection. 5.6mm at the lip. Isolation: Fantastic. Bass: Low sub bass, solid mid bass, BA bass, missing DD tactility and dynamics. 6/10 Test tracks: Chameleon - Trentemoller Sadness, Pt. 1 - Enigma They Just Haven't Seen It - San Holo Midrange: Good lower midrange, uneven upper midrange, big dip in presence region. Vocals are recessed and muffled. 4/10 Test tracks: Crazy - Daniela Andrade My Work - JFDR Treble: Peaky mid treble, low air. Presence dip makes it stand out. 7/10 Test tracks...

Tips: Small silicone tips. Build: Resin body, metal faceplate and nozzle. Solid and light. Comfort: Despite fat looking nozzle, comfort and seal is good. Isolation: Very good. Bass: +13 dB at sub bass (20 Hz). Gradual slope into lover midrange. The bass bleeds into mid and is uncontrolled. However, it's power and dynamic is unrivaled. 7/10 Test tracks: Chameleon - Trentemoller Sadness, Pt. 1 - Enigma They Just Haven't Seen It - San Holo Midrange: Harmanesque rise with a 4-6kHz dip. Clean but recessed. Allows higher volumes to accentuate the bass...

Build: Light but strong. Nice, polished look. Comfort: Light. Small. Great fit, they don't fall out. Seal is great. Isolation: Vented. Isolation is very good, despite the vent. Bass: +11 dB at sub bass (20 Hz). Gradual slope in the mid bass. Boost in the sub bass area so it doesn't impede the mids. Midrange: Lower mids are perfection. Slightly relaxed upper mids. Treble: +10 dB 8kHz peak. Fantastic air unheard of in many 50x more expensive sets. Too sharp in the presence region, bound with big midtreble peak gives piercing sharp sound, especially...

Build: Wonderful, robust headphone, au pair or second to only DT770. Nice, industrial look. Comfort: Excellent. Medium weight (at cca. 300g) but comfortable. Soft headband and pads. Robust and flexible mechanism. This is how headphone should be designed. Isolation: Open back. You'll hear the environment and they will hear you. Bass: Almost perfectly neutral. Open back that goes down to 20Hz without roll-off. About 1dB rise in upper bass. Midrange: Very good. About 2dB rise in lower mids and big 6dB drop in the upper mids about 1.5kHz, but with...

Build: Solid. Comfort: Excellent. Very light. Leather strap can pull hair, though. Isolation: Open. Bass: Roll off under 50Hz. Bloated midbass. 1.25/3 Midrange: Lower mids emphasis with upper mids fall decreases clarity of the mids. 1.5/3 Treble: 6k peak gives sharpness to the sound. 1.25/3 Tonality: Above average. 2.50/5 EQ: Needed. For my preferences, mandatory. Try Serious SBAF or Optimum HiFi +4dB. Detail: Good. 2/3 Imaging: Fantastic soundstage, probably second only to HD800. 2.5/3 Dynamics: Below average. 1/3 Tech: MidFi soundstage king...

At last I managed to demo R70x. Balanced sound with dark tilt. Nice bass, solid soundstage. Feather weight, great comfort. Cups are smaller, then they look in photographs. Only long cable included. Hard to identify left-right cup. Somewhat insensitive, need stronger amp. Very enjoyable sound, but not on the detailed side.

Build: Heavy, robust IEM. Nice, industrial look. Comfort: Heavy. (20g) It causes to break seal. Below average. Isolation: Vented. You'll hear the environment, which interferes with the quality of sound. With green filter: Bass: +5 dB at sub bass (20-80Hz). Gradual downslope in mid bass. Great. Midrange: Excellent. Perfect lower midrange. Slightly recessed lower midrange between 1.5k and 4k. Small 4.5k peak. Treble: Very good. Small resonance peak. Air is recessed, though. Tonality: Relaxed neutral. Fantastic. Sub bass could be more pronounced...

Great build, robust, 2nd only to DT770 Pro. Love the looks. 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable with locks on both sides. Nice and practical. Medium to light weight at 315g. I have often found advices that these “need nuclear powerplant to drive”. I guess that probably sprung from the specification that they can take up to 3 Watts of power. However, I found them relatively easy to drive. I found no issue driving them from phone, tablet or laptop to impressive loudness. Sound is, there is no other word, smooth, comparing to the dynamic drivers. Like it’s missing the...

Build and package is great. Lots of tips, great cable, mic, ear hooks. Cable can be microphonic so use ear hooks and clip-on. This was my daily driver for more than 4 years, every day in pocket. Very sturdy. The sound. V-Moda V shape. Isolation was great, no port on this one. Bass was the best I heard on any IEM. But the price was recessed and unresolving midrange.

Bought it locally for a reasonable price. It's nice looking, solidly build, surprisingly comfortable and lightweight headphone. Pleather pads are comfortable, but not breathable. You will sweat, if wearing outside. It comes with detachable cable with microphone, stop/start button and analog volume slider. Nice. The sound. Well, this one's famous for it's Foster biodyna drivers. Bass impact is best in class. However, tuning on this model is far from balanced. Think something along the V-Moda M-100 line. Fun, but overwhelming bassy sound. While it can...

This is a classic studio headphone. They have medium size soundstage, which is fantastic for a closed back headphone. There are not many closed backs with wider soundstage and good isolation, certainly, none in its price range. These are among the rare audiophile headphones that are not rolled off at sub-bass. Most of the open back and a lot of closed backs are having this issue. Not this one. Sub-bass is not only present, but boosted at 5dB which gives very fun sound. Unfortunately, this brings us to the main issue. The treble. Treble is piercing...

Vintage AKG from the early 80s. Classic studio phones of the time. Clear mids and great imaging are the reason these were beloved by the studios of the time. Imaging makes them surprisingly good for gaming. They are light and relatively comfortable and surprisingly easy to drive, despite high impedance. You can easily drive them with mobile phone or laptop. Probable reason for that is abysmal bass extension. Sub bass is almost not existing. Soundstage is so narrow, it is almost nonexistent. However, this results in an extremely forward presentation...

Perfection in comfort. Light, perfectly placed around the ears. Easy to drive. You can drive them from laptop, phone, tables to great loudness without any issues. Great accessories, one short 3.5mm cable, one long 6.35mm cable + 6.35mm to 3.5mm converter. Balanced sound with slight v-shaped signature. Little mid-bass bloat, little treble peak, but that's nitpicking. Resolution, unfortunately is mediocre. It's not on the HD6xx nor HD560S level, but it's the best of the rest of the HD5xx series. If you find them under $180, don't think twice. Great set!

Nice lightweight hands-free set with big bass emphasis. Unfortunately, everything else about the sound is bad. Dark, muddy sound drown by a big but bad sounding bass. Recently, I've sent them to Oratory1990 for measurements and EQ. With this, T200A was transformed from the dustbin item to a contender. The bass was reigned in, midrange got presence and clarity. Treble is maybe a little hot, but never sibilant. Coupled with fantastic isolation, size (small and light) and comfort, it entered my regular IEM rotation. Also, it's bass impact is best of...
