SOUND QUALITY
Not super powerful
Not especially full or warm. Rather dull at times
Over emphasis on highs
I keep turning volume up to hear bass, but then highs irritate
Lack of vocal clarity and warmth
Seems to be a dip around 250Hz
Improved with EQ (I recommend Treb -3, Mid 0, Bass +1)
Definitely a bit funky without the EQ
Check out my Spotify playlist
Can’t Stop by Dave Matthews still sounds pretty decent
Struggles with Yonkers. Definitely not a skull shaker
Not a lot of instrument separation
Harvest Moon was pretty decent
LAG: 450ms
SBC and AAC only

WHAT GEAR DO I USE?
Heart rate sensor: https://mikeobrienmedia.com/Polar-H10
(Polar H10 is known to be one of the most accurate in the industry and therefore acts as a great standard to which I compare smartwatch heart rate sensors)
