Sound Signature

Bass

The bass is a little soft on the Ocharaku’s, I suspected the Spinfit were not helping the bass to get down and dirty – to push against the contours of my ear canals with that sweltering dub from Trenchtown.

I looked for a set of Comply’s to remedy this problem. The bass became super bloated and muddied up everything around it in a Beat’s style mess. The spinfits are the correct choice for these earphones.

I commend the designers in that they appear to have engineered their product with these versatile tips in mind. Living with the spinfits and the Wailers, the lower end sound began to grow on me . The bass is there but it is linear ; bass playing can be heard nice and clearly and drumming doesn’t swamp everything else.

Mid Range

The mids had a slight veil to them , making some instruments merge quietly in with each other and Bob Marley’s voice just sink a little too behind his wonderful Wailers. The feeling was subtle and I would be surprised to have this area of the music clear of any imperfections as I’ve yet to hear a perfect In Ear Monitor at any price , let alone £30.

Treble

The treble on these earphones have an airy nature, there is a definite shimmery quality to the end notes of the Wailer’s and to the echo which just takes that slight longer to fade into the background.

I think that treble tuning plays a major part in the building of a soundstage – that place we call where we feel we can pick out the performers positions in the mix. The soundstage is much wider than I would expect from an earphone at this price level.
