I wonder if anybody have noticed that the recent Samsung Note 8 comes with a surprisingly good sounding AKG IEM. I'm not sure if they're hybrid or just a dynamic IEM but it sounds to me like a dynamic driver IEM but I may be wrong. Built quality is about average like other IEMs that comes supplied with phones but the cable is less microphonic than some. It's a very fun sounding IEM with a U shaped sound signature with good extension on both ends of the frequency spectrum. Mid is slightly recessed but remains clear. Low frequency extends down pretty well yet remaining tight and punchy without leaking to the mids. High frequency is pretty detailed but may sound slightly bright on some tracks but overall pretty smooth without any annoying treble sibilance. I might experiment with some foam tips and report back later. Please share your thoughts on this surprisingly good sounding IEM.
