“I indulged in some hi-res files of Led Zeppelin II while comparing the AF1120 with another six-balanced-armature in-ear, a 64 Audio V6, and the two headphones were pretty far apart. The AF1120’s muscular sound added more juice to Zep- pelin’s power delivery, so John Paul Jones’ bass was gutsier. John Bonham’s drums rocked harder, and dynamics sounded more alive. The AF1120 also showered love on Jimmy Page’s guitar and Robert Plant’s vocals.”

” The packaging is even more basic and the ATR comes delivered in a 10cm simple card wood and plastic box with a see trough cover. Inside are the monitors, a user guide and a little bag of silicone tips. (The ATR doesn’t come with foam tips like the ATE model).

“Both have fantastic bass responses from their respective bass drivers but they differ in their emphasis. The A91 puts all its eggs in an elevated sub-bass response and relatively linear drop from 150 Hz whereas the the Dorado is thicker, warmer, and more sustained into its mid-bass signature. Thus you will hear the rumble of the A91 but it’s not as impactful and hard hitting as the Dorado’s meaty bass response.”

“The low frequencies sound really wonderful. Not bloated, boosted, or overstated, there’s a unbroken, fluid transition from 300 Hz all the way down to the bottom of hearing range. If you’re a fan of the Dr. Chesky Headphone Demo Disk, you’ll love how the 18+ Pro perform on the “Shake, Rattle, and Roll Test” (a low frequency sweep down to 20 hZ.) There’s no one frequency range that suddenly pops up due to poor tuning; everything sounds flat and even.”

“Sage incorporates a dual balanced armature design, where one driver displays lows and the other will reproduce highs and mids. Noble‘s configuration and tuning result in a soundsignature that delivers powerful, punchy and tight bass. This is one thing I love about my Kaiser 10, and the way Sage reproduces lows actually reminds me in many ways of my custom K10 (I‘m not saying they are the same though). Kaiser‘s bass is more impactful, more present and a tad bigger, both models though are free of frequency-bleeding, meaning bass will always stay put where it should. Sage‘s lows are nicely textured, have certain weight to them and come across with great body. Mids are lush and energetic with a smooth touch”
