Immediate impressions are very good. Fit is good, don’t look that ridiculous and are comfortable. Sound really nice - surprisingly nice in fact. Warm mids. Can deliver a nice thump at the low end without sounding boomy. Relatively bright but that suits my listening habits anyway. Sound a bit more consumer orientated and fun to listen to than my very analytical Shure SE425s. Soundstage is perhaps wider than the Shure’s but instrument separation not as good.
They apparently house a DAC within the earbud which is pretty nifty. Very surprised at how decent these sound versus my Shure/Dragonfly Black combo. They are head and shoulders above Airpods from a SQ perspective, obviously. Very similar sound signature to a pair of M50x’s. They mangle bad recordings. Like - really badly.
Very happy with the purchase, save for one issue, audio delay with video... currently cannot watch video without audio lag - I know it has crippled some wireless audio stuff but didn’t think I’d find it here as I’d not read about it being an issue anywhere. Will see if updating my phone/changing the codec type fixes this - they support both AAC and SBC codecs. Oh and aptX but my iPhone doesn’t >>> Anyway just an initial ramble. My iPhone is going nowhere though - thinking about it - I rarely watch video with headphones on my phone anyway.
