Hidizs x Linsoul AP80 PRO MAX Review

There is always something I wish were improved regarding the sound of sub-$300 DAPs, mostly the perceived lack of resolution, transparency, and warm or cold coloration, as well as the occasional veil in the treble and lack of bass impact.

I’m pleased to report that the Hidizs AP80 PRO MAX does not introduce an obvious warmth to the sound, and the treble remains clear.

When I listen to the AP80 PRO MAX, I’m greeted with a neutral tonality characterized by a flat perceived frequency response and a transparent sound without obvious colorations, with an above-average soundstage size.

The bass is neutral with a small amount of added boominess in the sound; it goes deep and rumbly without losing too much control. There are acceptable details and articulation in the sound.

Lower midrange is clear and tight; there is no artificial warmth or bloom. It sounds colorless yet not clinical, as the overall sound is never thin or light in note weight; the vocals never lack body
