Customer Reviews
Neutral-bright tuning. Bass and mids are exceptional. The upper mids are not as forward as something like the Top Pro but it is well-balanced with the bass. Everything sounds very natural and clear with an emphasis in the air frequencies (10kHz and above). It is quite smooth, no peaks to my ears. All the subjective stuff like 'imaging' and 'soundstage' is quite great too. It's definitely like the Mega5-EST, but with less bass and more treble; though I'd argue the bass being slightly less does help in the Rockies sound more balanced and natural... except for the 'airiness' in the treble which gives the IEM it's bright tilt.
If you are sensitive to upper treble frequencies, you might need to use a high shelf filter to cut them down a bit. Some may argue it detracts from the 'character' of the Rockies. I will re-iterate, the upper treble is not sibilant or overly-sharp and peaky, but smooth and well-executed, and absolutely something people who liked the Mega5-EST but found it lacking a bit in that area, will appreciate.
Be mindful of the hollow resin shell though; that may be a dealbreaker. But if you don't mind that, it's $50 US cheaper than the Mega5-EST, comes with fantastic, high quality accessories and a slightly more 'exciting' sound than the Mega5-EST.
First time blind buying an iem and I don’t regret it one bit. This set deserves more praise. Love the natural stone faceplate and the natural addictive sound.
