**This review is a sample portion from the full thread: Meet the Puresounds Earbud Family.**
**Disclaimer - I was provided the Puresounds PS100-600 free of charge for the purpose of this review.**
*Specifications*
- Current Price: $143.20
- Headphone sensitivity: 93db±3db @1KHz
- Frequency range: 15-30000Hz
- Impedance: 600Ω
*Accessories*
What you see is what you get. Very standard for this type of earbud.
*Build and Design*
While the mold of most earbuds are based off of the MX500, Puresounds did do a nice job making theirs stand out. First, with the housings themselves, they are hazy clear and you can see their PS100 logo through the plastic. It is something that helps differentiate their earbuds from the crowd.
The cable is strong, looks great and terminates to the equally nice straight 3.5mm plug.
Overall, these are handsome looking earbuds with a great overall build.
*Sound*
Lows - I quickly noticed that the PS100-600 had more of a bass response than the 500 before it. I enjoy good sub-bass and this did not leave me wanting for more. I was treated with quality, deep and controlled lows. There is a bit more warmth to this flagship earbud from Puresounds.
Mids - There is the smallest hint of a dip in the mids. Vocals are smooth and ever so distant. I found you need power to get the most of the mids, which will in return with reward the user with more detail and overall satisfaction.
Highs - Extension and speed in the highs are quite impressive. I did not find them to be anywhere near bright. There is a great deal of detail in the upper regions without any harshness.
Sound Signature - Not quite U shaped, but almost. Emphasis in the bass in highs without much loss in the mids.
Comparison - This was an easy one. One of my favorite earbuds, the TY Hi-Z HP650. The PS100-600 costs $20 more and is rated at 50 less Ω. Both share a common trait that they need to be driven hard to get the best quality out of their individual sound signatures. The differences between these two flagship earbuds is minimal. The TY Hi-Z HP650 has a smoothness across the full spectrum that gives it a ease that is not quite matched by the PS100-600. Though, those wanting a little more detail and clarity, the PS100-600 does grab more of an edge in that segment. It should come as no surprise as there is not a winner here either. Both have their own assets. I enjoy both earbuds for their overall sound quality.
