I can try to provide some.Going through the discussions here, I am quite intrigued by the impressions of Crimson. The secret sauce is still not revealed which is really amusing. But I really don’t care about what those drivers are and how many of them. I mean, Ragnar has 2 DD drivers and a bass lover would simply put it away, so that’s that.
Can someone please help me with a Crimson and Singularity comparison? I know both of them have their own strength and people who own really enjoying them a lot. Just need two cents before I pull the trigger on any of them.
Crimson has a U-shaped tuning, and Singularity has a more L-shaped tuning.
Both sets have fantastic bass. The bass sounds more prominent in the frequency response for the Singularity, but it still somehow sounds balanced. A remarkable feat no doubt.
It's no secret that both sets have great bass, but they differ in how they achieve it.
The Singularity bass is bouncier, and has a longer decay. It has a very organic quality to it as well.
The Crimson bass has a more defined transient edge, is faster, and is tighter.
Both sets have good texturing. I think Crimson's bass has more of an authoritative slam when it engages but I could see people thinking it goes the other way.
Singularity and Crimson both have somewhat warmer mids. Crimson has better midrange resolution and better resolution overall, while I think Singularity has a better timbre. Singularity's mids are smooth, lush, and organic.
Both sets have well-extended treble responses. The Crimson's is more boosted in comparison. There's a peak somewhere in the Crimson's treble that can make it sound a little sizzly/tizzy on some chains. I've corrected this with ear tips. The end result is a decent treble response with good air.
Singularity's treble is smoother in comparison and is perceptibly free of any peaks. I'd consider it a safer treble response overall.
From a technicalities standpoint, Crimson is superior. It is noticeably more resolving and has a significantly larger soundstage. Its imaging is standout and I think it's slightly more dynamic as well. Singularity's techs are decent but not class-leading for its price.
Why pick Singularity then? I think there are still some reasons. I think Singularity is more musical, and it's the kind of set that you can put on, kick back, and listen to all day. It's the kind of set that makes me forget I'm listening to IEMs and puts the focus on the music. It's wonderfully coherent.
They're both great sets. It's hard to go wrong with Crimson or Singularity. I hope this helps.
