If you like the Explorer, this is a safe bet! Awesome sound quality and comfortable.
These sound great. I got mine for under $200 on Prime Day sale from HiFiGo through Amazon. I returned the Aful Explorers in favor of these. The bass still hits enough to sound tough, it’s very accurate and goes low.. They seem much wider and bigger in the soundstage than the Explorers. They image MUCH better. The mids are non-fatiguing for a vocal-or-lead-forward tuning. Snare drums sound amazing, like on Dirty Loops’ cover of Living For The City. I feel like it is almost as if they tilted the curve of the Explorer a hair towards the highs, and a hair under in the bass, keeping the same overall signature, but it is so much more than that. The treble is sweet and there is (for me) jaw-dropping detail and high resolution. They are apparently louder. They are strongly revealing of the recorded material; Steely Dan’s Everything Must Go album sounds amazing through these. I haven’t tried anything that doesn’t sound awesome. You can discern every detail in the songs, hear every instrument separately. These are more than earphones, they truly function as “monitors.”I was going to live with the Explorers, but I decided to try the P5+2 after comparing the response graphs of many different models, with the Explorer as my baseline. The P5+2 is slightly larger in some ways and shaped slightly differently than the Explorers, and I have to hand the comfort win to the Explorer, I could wear those for literally hours. The P5+2 are basically the same for me.I prefer these over the KE4 as well, which I also returned, and it was very good but fatiguing in the highs at high volume for me, with memory foam tips. The KE4 was also huge/deep, but fit me fine. I was tempted by the Ziigaat Lush, Odyssey, Odyssey 2. I did not try any of those. I stopped with the P5+2 as it meets my needs for the price. I build and design speakers and crossovers as a hobby so I am super picky about sound. I also considered 7hz Divine and Letshuoer S08, but I was shy about planar driver IEMs. I just heard they sound unique, and sound best with more power and a balanced connection. I am not an earphone hobbyist, no anime girl posters in my house. I just want to drive these with a normal old 3.5mm jack. There were no cartoon characters on the packaging, which I found deeply satisfying.Ver másVer menos
