EARPHONE REVIEW BY DIAPASON D’OR

 

CHORD & MAJOR   9.13

Here is a unique brand that offers a variety of earphones , each of them being designed for specific listenings: Jazz, Rock, Ballad or Classical…

We have selected the latter which seemed to us extremely convincing. The effort focused on the homogeneity of the response curve , the tonal accuracy.  

The small wooden case, the different sizes of earpads to fit with one’s auditory canal, the velvet transport pouch, everything is here to be seduced with the object…

LISTENING:

In-ear models often rise spectrum problems. This model is superb for its balance, homogen, and comfortable to wear. Instruments are reproduced with perfect lifelike, 

and surprising presence. The very wide dynamic range never sacrifices a constant refinement.

HIGHLIGHTS:

Homogen and transparent restitution.
