Will do so. Still mids are too recessed for my liking...
Sub and mid bass is fantastic so I'm not giving up on it yet.
Mids recessed and veiled?
I find them just a touch behind with excellent layering and clarity.
The opposite of veiled.
Very engaging and full sounding.
I don't know what to tell you if you think the mids aren't recessed here. It's been called V shaped by reputable reviewers and V shaped inherently means recessed mids.Mids recessed and veiled?

It could be V-shaped to some depending on what volume level you are using it at thanks to the fletcher munson curve. But for me, it is U-shaped and does not have recessed mids, it doesnt have forward mids either just in the middle.I don't know what to tell you if you think the mids aren't recessed here.

It's not engaging me emotionally, it lacks that each out and touch quality that I value so much.

A comparison between them?My Fiio FD5 finally arrived today as well. Very good sound out of the box. Tremendous bass, soundstage and detail, including in the treble. There is a smoothness and effortlessness to it that is just impressive (I listen mostly to jazz, acoustic and orchestral genres).
I was a bit afraid due to some less positive opinions in this thread, but I don't hear any harshness in treble or upper mids, nor do I think there are missing low mid details, texture or bite, which is something someone mentioned as well, though they might be a tad leaner in the low mids.
I will probably just listen to them while they burnin, but I can't think of any aspect that needs a major improvement.
The conundrum now is that they arrived just a week after my LZ A7, another amazing earphone, so my attention split...
Depends how you interpret it and where you're coming from. I'm just saying FD5 lacks clarity in the mids compared to the stuff I'm used to. While this may work for some genres I just cannot unhear it.
I left them on burn-in rig and I will check them in few days time.
First part of a review must be as objective as it can.
A reviewer must also think how other people might like it or not.
And not how he likes it.
If I like my mids more forward or not that can be left for later.
I like my Empyrean but that doesn't mean that I will review let's say the Ananda with the Empyrean sound at the back of my mind.
