It's tonally well balanced with a slight suck out in the mids, but nothing that a mild tweak of EQ wouldn't fix. With basic EQ presets, you can achieve a sonic balance that appeals to you. Spatial Audio is supported, allegedly, but we couldn't manage to get Dolby Atmos on Apple Music to caress our eardrums.Yet, The Weeknd’s Wake me Up was played back with enthusiasm and zest, the propulsive bass line comes across as powerful and rhythmic but the highs and mids seem disjointed and the sound doesn’t focus together as a cohesive whole.
This highlights the slightly suppressed mids and tinny treble that lacks “air”. Also, while the buds are comfy to wear, the touch controls alter their position in the ear and you have to keep adjusting the fit to maintain a proper seal at all times. At least I did. But as with most, these sound way better when paired with Android phones and not an iPhone. For its price, the overall sound quality isn’t shabby, just inconsistent with different genres and devices, forcing you to use the EQ more often than not to tweak the presentation.
