As mentioned earlier, I didn’t experience any muddiness. If anything, the mid-range frequencies – that’s where the human ear interprets most vocal work and instruments – it’s clear with a good amount of audio separation and stereo imaging. I’m able to identify left and right audio channels independently. You can hear snaps happening off to the side to vocal work being more centered and at the forefront. Things to critique, and this is honestly me nitpicking here, but there could be additional resolution and detail in the music. These could use increased soundstage but most earphones lack this anyways. Music listening, genres of pop, hiphop and EDM which I listen to worked great, but for pod-casts, for some reason voices, especially female voices sound to be a little high on the upper-mid range. That won’t deter from purchasing but nit picking on the quality or experience in this case.
