2024 revised review.
Pros: Solid build, beautiful design, excellent almost neutral sound, especially the midrange.
Cons: They are fickle heavy in the ear; cable is not replaceable.

Inside the black box one finds the unit displayed, there is a pouch for accessories and a pouch for the liebesleid, unfortunately it is the same little pouch the Nameless comes with. For $300-+ it should have had a better pouch or case. it comes with a variety of foam covers that are extremely hard to on. It would have worked much better with a silicone sleave. It is however made solid as a rock but are a little too heavy for jogging or fitness. A solid metal shell with its beautiful, polished cavity and silver cable makes this a very fashionable audio accessory.



Sound:

This is a very nice sounding earbud without any doubt one of the best iv'e heard so far after researching dozens.

Highs: are energetic but well controlled and are not over emphasized but extend well enough with good details.

Mids: Have focus here very nice texture and are neutral bright. separation and clarity with a forward position make listening very pleasant.

Bass: is more than adequate and very precise and slightly above neutral at times with decent texture and a light impact. The sub-bass is just behind the mid-bass both have good speed but lack depth at times.

Soundstage: is open and natural sounding and there is a nice wide sense of spaciousness with a good separation of instruments.



Overall, I would give these good points for looks and build and as my equipment has gotten better so has my opinion of these. The Liebesleid is a very well-built flat style earphone, it offers a detailed, mild dynamic sound with Lovely tonal balance and impressive sound stage and imaging. It is very heavy and may not be suited for the gym.

Hi how is the subbass extension and quantity on this set?

In general, I find most earbuds are weak in subbass quantity due to the poorer isolation/seal, so am looking for a bud that is different in this aspect. TIA!

Yes, as with most buds the Bass is going to be affected by how well of a fit you get.
When properly in place the Bass and Sub Bass is very good but these are heavy and a proper seal is difficult.

Have you heard Yincrow RW-1000, to compare? Looks like a Moondrop Nameless in the photos, hm...
