My expectations were high for the Volume S. I haven’t heard a bad set from Softears (RSV, Twilight, Studio4), and almost all of the initial reviews for Volume S were positive. To my ears, it’s a very well tuned set that easily competes with or betters the competition in the price range. I much preferred the low impedance setting, and that’s tuning used for this review
What I like: Vocals really sound great. There’s enough warmth to give some weight and body to male and female vocals. Detail retrieval is excellent. Stage size is also a cut above sets at this price. It’s a very fun tuning.
My favorite set that I own in the $300 to $400 range is the Hype 4. These sets compliment each other very well. The hype 4 has better treble extension and imaging, but vocals and stage are better on the Volume S. The hype 4 and Volume S differ in low end tuning. The hype 4 has more and tighter bass due to the bass tuck. The Volume S has more midbass, but the low end is still tight with minimal bleed into the mids. Both bass guitar and kick drums sound full with good weight. I have a pretty wide range of music in my library and with the addition of the Volume S my library is fully covered. The Volume S is an easy recommendation.
These look fantastic and have a full balanced sound.
I have 52 IEMs in this price range, above and below and rarely have I had nothing negative to say about them….I’m totally surprised, but there is not a bad thing or deficiency that I can comment on.
Out of all my units I can count 4 that fall into…I got nothing…they are that good!
Awesome sound, ergonomy and design. Could not be better. Thanks to Music Tec for great interaction and ultra fast delivery
Great cable! Excellent resolution, well-extended treble, and bombastic bass. Extremely dark background gives notes pop and allow for an exciting listen.
These phones have no weaknesses and deliver a dynamic, clear sound. The design seems to stress neutrality and not emphasize any particular aspect of the audio spectrum
