The headphones have MEGA bass, which will always find its place in electronic music!
These headphones are positioned as a model for bassheads, so we will consider them from this side.
The sub-bass is deep, very confidently manifests itself from 20 Hz, and the more powerful the current source, the more correct and powerful the bass.
The relief of the sub is exaggerated here, but it is perceived quite pleasantly and melodically due to the correct construction of low frequencies.
The mid-bass does not run ahead of the locomotive, but is built in such a way that it does not interrupt the sub-bass, although it sounds at the same volume level.
An excellent setting for modern electronic music.
All kinds of bass-boost tracks will go down well with fans of basstronics and similar subwoofer styles.
And of course, do not forget about metal, heavy and emo rock, in these genres the headphones provide excellent tactility of the stage and a hurricane of drive!
The mid-frequencies, despite all the V-shape and basshead, do not feel failed, they are quite adequately built with an eye on the settings of the headphones.
Although the bass tries to dominate in terms of volume, the midrange holds the bar.
Occasionally, in particularly over-bassed tracks it can sag, and then only in places, but again, due to the specifics of bass-boosted tracks.
Instrumental is not the strongest side of this model, but it is clearly not weak either.
Live instruments sound quite pleasant, but attention still switches to the bass, but in some genres of instrumental music this sounds quite appropriate.
Female vocals are well-intelligible and beautiful, they are quite well expressed, but I still want a slightly denser 1.5 kHz area.
Male vocals have full-bodied tones, and especially black jazz and soul sound rich and full.
The upper frequencies show all their magnificence here, because the electrostatic drivers from Sonion = excellent detailing, separation and duration.
The highs try to balance the bass-head lows, which results in a decent V-shape, with a slight bias towards the lower tonality.
The cymbals are clear, fast, crumbly, the tambourine sounds very realistic, and in general, all the percussion instruments are a special decoration of the sound of these headphones.
Excellent control over sibilants - there is no trace of them here, even in the tracks in which they are present.
The highs, despite their naturalness and authenticity, have a golden color, which is very beautifully reflected in the overall presentation.
I recommend everyone to try headphones with electrostats on the HF to feel all the charm and magic of the high frequencies.
Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch - headphones definitely deserve attention first of all from those who want to get more low frequencies!
They are not so much about analytics, but about musicality and drive, so if you are looking for emotions and pump, then try this model!
