Alright, these are the best IEMs I have heard. They sound incredible. It really brings out the littlest of details. Guitars, cymbals, voices, and drums sound incredibly clean on these. I cannot believe ATH discontinued this line. The guitars sound so clean and every little detail is revealed.
These are bright IEMs. The bass is verry tight and punchy, also incredibly clean. The frequency response is fairly neutral. Soundstage is small but this is preference to whether you like tight and clean sounds or not. Channel separation is fantastic as well. These headphones actually convinced that an instrument was comming from somewhere in real life. I was looking around like an idiot lol. I did a head to head comparison with the sennheiser hd600 and these sounded so much cleaner and accurate. The only faults I find in this IEM is the lack of disconnectable cable and the static discharge. Do not wear floofy clothes or shuffle on carpet with these. Although not limited to just these pair of IEMs, just be prepared to unplug and take them out when you start to hear crackling sounds and touch a metal surface.
Songs that sound amazing on these:
- Hotel California (Live): the guitar just sounds so phenomenal and accurate. Every nuance is brought out and shown.
- Bullet (Chelsea Lankes): the bass is incredibly punchy and tight (accurate). You can hear the coarseness of her voice and the airiness of it.
- UAC Report File; Shto36u3 (DOOM OST, Mick Gordon): the bass and everything about it sounds so clean and accurate. It has lots of bite because of the incredible finesse these drivers have.
- Palace (Unlike Pluto): just listen to the part where it sounds like he is playing the harp backwards. It is incredible. It is airy, hits fast, super clean, detailed, and tight. The response is so fast and accurate. The bass is not overwhelming the other instruments unlike how it does with other headphones I have tried. The instrument separation is fantastic.
I bought these off of Amazon, but you can find them sometimes ~$50 cheaper on EBay. They are the best heaphones hands down at this price range. And definitely can compete with ~$400-600 headphones. I have built $1000~ sound systems and this takes the cake for accuracy and clearness.
