Earsonics Velvet IEM

Delivering a smooth, detailed sound signature that lives up to its name, the EarSonics Velvet IEM stands out for its unique tuning system, which allows you to find the right tuning for the music you’re listening to. The three settings include a balanced sound, a warm sound, and a tight sound, and can be adjusted using the included flathead screwdriver. The warm setting emphasizes the lows while retaining treble extension, the tight setting focuses on the treble and mids with a more articulate bass, and the balanced setting is just that, with no emphasis in either direction. One Headfonics reviewer’s conclusion? “The versatility coupled with the outstanding sound quality… makes the Velvet a force to be reckoned with.”

The triple balanced-armature driver brings excellent soundstage, imaging, and instrument separation, while the clear, ergonomic housing offers a peek at the the IEM’s inner workings. Plus, the over-ear cable is complete with shrink-wrapped plastic material that can be easily adjusted for comfort during long listening sessions. For sonic enjoyment right out of the box, the Velvet comes with six pairs of silicone ear tips (a mix of sizes and single- and double-flange styles), along with a quarter-inch adapter, a zippered carrying case, and more.
