Absence of nasty blooming, added warmth or harshness just seals the deal. The seamless integration across the frequency spectrums provides a real unity to the sound. When all of this is put together, we get a really well-balanced signature. But the more songs I listened, the more I appreciated this kind of safe high-frequency tuning as my ears didn’t get tired. If you want your earphones to zealously dig that last spatial cue and airiness of the recording – these might not be what you look for. I’m able to hear airiness around instruments and voices but in a slightly laid back manner. Integration and smoothness are a priority here. In the highest register, things proceed in a similar fashion. You don’t have to fear any of those with Starfield as their approach to midrange is perfectly mature and balanced. The other effect of such voicing is that listening can get tiring very quickly. One of them is sibilance with voices which I’m really not a fan of. That same trick gives an illusion of sharper and more resolving sound but tends to introduce some nasty side effects. So commonly used trick of boosting upper midrange/lower highs is just not present here. What made me even happier is that there’s not even a hint of harshness.

They sound full and present and there’s never any artificial warmth or blooming in their voice. Listening to my favorite Pop and Jazz singers is a delight. Vocals sound very clean and uncolored, neither mid-bass nor higher frequencies are bleeding into them. Moving up the frequency range, more good news awaits. This powerful but fast-moving and precise bass is just a joy to listen to, and one of the best I’ve heard so far in any IEM. Even more important, it’s never bloated, never boomy, never loses pace and control. Bass notes in both Rock and Pop songs had plenty of weight and drive, making me thump my foot with it. Changing trough different music genres I was able to once more confirm how well balanced this model is. Then I changed to more potent Dragonfly Black which brought slight improvement to drive and dynamics. Sharp edges extend the main body of every tone very naturally, not trying to excite and razzle-dazzle you. That said, they’re never put to the front. Lots of details and spacial cues could be heard too, creating atmosphere and space around musicians.

I was listening to some acoustic guitars, and strings sounded full and energetic. My ears usually need some time to adjust to the new sound signature, but this time I felt at home from the first note. So I started listening and the first thing I noticed is how well balanced and smooth the sound is. There was plenty of power and drive in this combo, and I’m happy to report these IEMs are not difficult to drive. I attached Starfield to my phone via HIDIZS Sonata HD DAC dongle.
