Fantasy: a short review on 68 graphene drivers
Sound signature preference: midcentric with bass boost.
Genres: Mostly Bossa Nova, Jazz, J-Pop, Acoustic, Prog. Rock, Classical Music and a little bit of everything.
SS: Slightly W-shaped, with midbass being a little recessed and treble being the star of the show.
BASS: I use an Urbanfun YBF as my daily driver, so note that this might bias my opinion,since they are truly bass canons. Now, as you would expect from a graphene driver, not the best bass out there but, you can truly enjoy Heavy-bass tracks, suck as Lo-Fi and Flea's bass lines. Not recessed, you can hear it clearly, but lacks depth IMO. Can't compare to beryllium in this department, but i'd say that its coherent and there are no major problems here. Not as much texture as the mids and the treble but it exists and its good in its own way.
8.9/10
MIDS: The part of music I most care for. Hard to describre this one hahaha. As I said, the midbass is slightly recessed and the treble accentuated, which results in very airy mids, with excellent instrument separation and clarity. As a vocal lover, I like them intimate, but you don't get it here (all the time).You actually get a surprising realistic distance between your ears and the voices and almost-intimate vocals when they are required, in João Gilberto songs in which the vocal play a big part, they sound close enough. But there's a problem here (or not, depending on your taste) they are not smooth. They are crude, I even would say harsh and wrong depending on the singer. Nothing killer, but if you like buttery smooth sound as I do, skip these. Guitars and pianos sound very coherent with great and unfatiging solos.
9.2/10
TREBLE: The star of the show! For anyone that really like Hi hats, cymbals and such these are a must! Now, this is very highlighted in the songs, so that can turn a little fating if you plan to use them for long sessions. The texture and timbre tho are absolutely god tier. They are in the edge to sound aggressive, they almost get there, very close actually, if you listen in really high volume but to me, its fine as long you don't use them for 3-4 hours straight. The song that I most like to test this aspect is Everybody loves the Sunshine by Takuya Kuroda. If the treble is too aggressive and forward, you can't finish the song. This tho, can play it very well. not being fating at all, which is quite a surprise to me. Violins sound SO good, really great.
10/10
I indicate these for:
=> Everyone that loves the drums and percussion instruments. Seriously highlighted here and it has quality in every aspect of it.
=> Trebleheads
=> Anyone that want an endgame and a great all rounder
I can't indicate for anyone that:
=> Wants buttery smooth sound
=> Have bright sources
Edit:. Same tuning I did with Bery 32 ohms.
