Softears RSV-MKII Review

The midrange has always been a special sauce for Softear’s IEMs, as they mostly get the timbre and tonality right every time.

Here, you get a rich and musical tonality that feels both natural and refined. The warmth from the low end naturally flows upward into the midrange, giving instruments like piano, cello, and vocals notes offering a thicker foundation.

The timbre is executed with precision, lending the instruments a natural and convincing sound, not synthetic or dry. String instruments carry a very satisfying note weight and palpable texture.

The lower midrange sits slightly back, neat and out of the way, so guitars, pianos, cellos, and vocals keep their natural weight without picking up much thickness.

A lean, tidy lower-mid keeps the mix from ever feeling bloated or congested. Male voices keep their natural heft but never tip into chesty thickness.

When you go up into the upper midrange, there’s a subtle lift that sneaks in that enhances the presence and clarity of female vocals and instruments.
