I am thoroughly enjoying the bass experience here.
MIDS :
Clear , good present on female vocal , vocals are natural sounding , vocal are laid-back , recess . When i listen to 田馥甄 - 妳 , i feel the voice of Hebe Tian - it's sweet ,clear and more natural .How about Male vocals? Male vocal has no mid-bass bleed and it has good body . when i listen to Sabia - Angel , I can hear the full bodied vocals without any signs of bass bleed.
Treble :
