Hisound knocks another one out of the park with the Live. It has an excellent balance of quantity throughout the spectrum and boasts a nice balanced sound in comparison to any other earbuds from this company. The bass is satisfying, ever present but not bass heavy. It extends well, but if you are a bass head I would look into the Paa1 Pro over this. The general sound type is something I wanted in its older and more expensive sibling: The Living. Where the Living was bass anemic, the Live has good low end presence. Definitely something a lot like the Blox M2C, in fact to my ears the presentation yet again ( has anyone noticed the M2C seems to be the benchmark for earbud comparisons these days...and for good reason!?) is similar to the Blox. It has that dry neutral type flavor to it, not nearly as cold and bright as the Living, but nowhere near the warmth of the Pro. This is middle ground to me and I enjoy it very much.
Mids are pretty great and once again make me not want to use a few other earbuds that are more expensive. Lively, satisfying, moderately forward but noticeably less broad than something like the Blox or the CM700. The mids are closer to the MX980 type, middle ground in height and distance, light and semi airy, not at all solid. The highs are very similar to the mid set up, also airy, not harsh but definitely in the brighter side with good extension.
The stage is very similar to the MX980, it is wider than it is tall, where as its brother the Living is a giant well formed box with insane depth in stage and airiness. The Live is more down the earth, more tonally balanced and scores good ratings on width, depth and height. It is moderately resolving with good depth in stage, more dynamic and spacious than the CM700ti, Blox and other similar buds. Again, build quality is excellent with the almost all aluminum housing, I do have to gripe about the faceplate as its plastic and looks like the Dunu series and the Paa1 faceplate. If the cheaper Pro can have metal grills, this should as well. Outside of that, I've no issues with this model and its would be the go to reference model if I wanted to relax and kick back.
because yeah I would say same, bass highly depends of each ear persons. Mine seems a bit smaller than the normal (it seems), that explain why I had to rate less bass about the TM7 than the PK1. But if I push TM7 right to my ears with my hands and hold them, I have to agree that bass are much more performing than with no hands holding. If I do same with PK1, I see no difference since they already fit perfectly into my ears.
