At least out of the IEMs that I have reviewed here before, none of them give me such transient response as Major 9\u201913 give me, I am kind of addicted on the transient response of Major 9\u201913. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Transient response is a crucial and important factor for classical music, transient response is how great your IEM\/Headphone can handle the spirit of a performance. It is not the same like boosting bass nor treble, it is how great the \u2018explosive\u2019 effect it is in a performance, the \u2018micro-movement\u2019 and \u2018explosion\u2019 in music is essentially appreciated with an excellent transient response headphone\/IEM\/Speaker. Major 9\u201913 classical is one of those elite that has a respectable transient response. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;I am separating and keep emphasising about transient response of Major 9\u201913 because I really think that this is something very special and excellent in Major 9\u201913 Classical, I can definitely tell you that this is one of the strength of Major 9\u201913 Classical that I have found no competitor that can yelled at it, at least from IEM that I have tested, I am surprised how good and matured for a small IEM can be, but Major 9\u201913 Classical keep challenge my perception, it is really good.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I played some Piano based album from Beethoven, Mozart to Rachmaninoff (More that I can recall), the piano sounded weighty and with good sense of fullness. I am enjoying Piano tracks on it, after the pianos, I tested Major 9\u201913 with some Violin, cello and Double bass instruments, the details in string have been portrayed nicely in Major 9\u201913 Classical. For symphony and classical musics, the separation is good, Major 9\u201913 is not like some of the Iem that boost treble to give you sense of detailed, treble is definitely there but without the peak and harshness, details are presented in a polite way. I have never felt that Major 9\u201913 is lacking detail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Soundstaging and imaging is good enough, close my eyes and I am impressed how spacious it is. The sound scape is not as opened as some but it is not as light tone as the rival as well, the tone is rich and 3 dimensionalities is nice. Chord &amp; Major has really put some effort in their series. Tonal wise is really excellent for classical musics, it is in rich and wealthy tone, which might not sounded as airy as some of my higher end headphones, but this is not a bad thing though, there is a clear sense in every notes. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4491\" src=\"http:\/\/104.199.146.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/11.jpg\" alt=\"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/11.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/11-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4493\" src=\"http:\/\/104.199.146.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/33.jpg\" alt=\"33\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/33.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/33-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/chord-m.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/33-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Besides the good looks, I am happy to report that build quality and finishing is equally nice as well.
