Philips Fidelio S1 In-Ear Earphone Review

” The S1 is a balanced-sounding dynamic-driver earphone that reminds me in many ways of VSonic’s pricier dynamic-driver sets. Compared to the balanced armature-driven VC1000, it boasts more bass, especially deep bass, and has a warmer overall tone. While less powerful, the low end of the VC1000 is tighter and a bit clearer. Its midrange is more prominent in comparison, and on the whole the VC1000 sounds more mid-centric next to the Fidelio S1. Interestingly, while the VC1000 boasts similar, or even slightly greater, treble energy, it actually does a better job of keeping its treble smooth. The Fidelio S1 appears a little harsher and peakier, and tends to be even less forgiving than the VC1000, which itself is not exactly smoothed-over.”

” So first of all tonal balance, as presented by Ayon Audio’s Crossfire EVO, is set bit lower than some people may be accustom to, although is it not that unusual for vacuum tube devices. But most of them achieve that by delivering a warmer sound with a rather softer/rounder leading edge. Subjectively, we perceive such performance as calmer, quieter, and with a less aggressive treble with perhaps smaller-scale volume levels.”

“We have to start with the bass. It is incredible that a triode tube amp, much less an amp with no negative feedback, at this price could have this kind of bass. The bass was fast enough to have good pace, rhythm, and timing; it also had good scale and power. I like the bloom it has in triode mode.’

” The Benchmark AHB2 amplifier and DAC2 preamplifier took complete, unfettered control of the universally acclaimed Revel Ultima2 Salon speakers and never let go. In fact, the AHB2 allowed the Salon2s to achieve pinnacle performance. At $2,995 the AHB2 isn’t cheap; but its build quality, materials, and astonishing sonic performance are a marvel.”

‘ The Converto isn’t quite the five-star product we’ve come to expect from Pathos. But it’s close. We’re fond of the no-frills approach to design, and although some may yearn for a display and remote, we never felt we were missing out.”

” I am not saying that the sound quality is all inferior, it is not, really. First of all, the bass is more apparent than treble and mid. But in my opinion it is not that recessed that will make vocal music sounded bad, in fact I think that treble and mid are not recessed it is just the bass is emphasized so you get that feeling. Mid and treble are still clear, overall sound quality is good with pop and R&B, music that I listen usually when I am jogging. Reception is reasonable good, at least I have no problem putting it in my pocket while jogging. Sound quality is reasonable good, if you ask me, it is actually better than the wired Apple Earpod, so it isn’t bad at all.”
