Celest PhoenixCall 2.0 2DD +2BA+2Planar In-Ear earphones with Switchable Cable (3.5mm+4.4mm)

These are very high-quality headphones. they reproduce low and high frequencies perfectly, with a smooth midrange. the lows are textured, precise, and three-dimensional. the highs retain air and detail, while the lows and mids don't obscure anything. there's almost no sibilance in the mids and highs, even at high volumes. in addition to excellent bass and good detalization, there is great instrument separation - you can hear each instrument playing without everything merging into an indistinct mess. frequency transitions are also seamless, and all the drivers perform well. overall, the headphones are very well-tuned right out of the box; i was ready to tweak the equalizer, but the default settings suited me so well that i didn't change anything. the headphones sound better with included eartips than the any custom ones. they fit comfortably and look distinct.

It's very good for classical music, but seems a bit awkward for metal music. It's great for piano songs or jazz trumpet music. I'm satisfied with using it.

Unlike most modern earphones where each sound source is organically connected to create a unified sound, these earphones feel more like each person is playing their assigned part with all their strength and making a kind of self-assertion. In reality, I can perceive that the low, mid, and high frequencies handled by DD, BA, and Micro Planar each have slightly different characteristics. So the smoothness, delicacy, and sense of luxury are lost. Instead, the sound is powerful, direct, and very entertaining.



In particular, the high notes are very clear, clean, and energetic. It's not flashy or pretty; it's dry and has thin lines, but it makes a cool, open sound. Westerners might find this level harsh, but people in Korea or Japan, for example, are likely to say that it's nice because it's moderately cool and bright.



In the low frequency range, it is not as strong as expected. It's definitely not a sound that basshead fans would like. It's not overly thumpy, and you don't feel any noticeable rumble. However, the expression of extremely low frequencies is quite well done, and the sound is heavily processed with effects, making it enjoyable to listen to. It's also softer compared to high-pitched sounds.



It feels like the presence of the board members is slightly overshadowed. The vocals themselves are clear and distinct, possibly due to the high-pitched effects, and both female and male vocals stand out brightly, but overall it's a bit disappointing. It seems more like a limitation of the driver or a problem with the crossover network rather than interference from low or high frequencies. I don't know the exact reason, though.



Still, I think it's worth it just because it's not that annoying New Meta-like sound that's been coming out lately. I would recommend it if you can actually afford the initial cost of $100.

I really liked the sound it offers; it's very different from version 1, as it's not as analytical.

The sound focuses on the mid-low range and has a very pleasant vibe.
That being said, it doesn't mean that the high frequencies are weak.
The build quality of the earcups is also good, and what's best is that the nozzle part is longer, so the fit is perfect for my ears.
I'm glad I bought it.
