Oh....didn't expect that in fact. MAIL CALL!
Dunu TALOS in da house! So excited to try these.
its my 8th Planar IEM to test.
I'm not that upper treble sensitive, so it will be interesting to try both tuning mode.
Ok, let's begin with Planar only mode, which is my fav since it's smoother and more laid back yet doesnt feel too dark and have nice treble energy and snap. We can say its smooth neutral with slight bass punch boost, clean open mids and dark treble with extra snap and sharp brilliance to add sens of air and openess.
The Talos aren't V shape or basshead, their a slight U shape feel to it since mid bass and lower mids are a bit leaner and upper mids are emphasize smoothed way so female vocal are more upfront, quite clear and detailed, just a hint bright. Bass presentation is very versatile, and separation is clean but the slam isn't super heavy, bass line are well textured with good grip, making cello sound full bodied and realist, kick drum is well define and separate too, but not ultra punchy. Mids tone is realist too, timbre isn't thin and note weight is good. Resolution is a hint warm, but very well layered. Their enough upper mids bit to make the presence dynamic enough.
Treble is where BA mode will act, so in Planar mode its notably darker yet not feeling lacking in sound info, in fact, percussions are rather highlight with the Talos, super snappy and fast in attack, resonance and sparkle cut short, keeping the top clean. In BA mode, sound info go in your face and very generous. Timbre is more organic and natural planar way, while more bright and saturated with BA. I feel sens of openess is better preserve planar mode way too, and more fowards with BA. Balance in BA mode is notably more W shape, treble sensitive people might find it too much but i was expecting splashyness and shoutyness which isn't the case here, its just super bright. Sound in BA mode is more vivid in dynamic too.
