XHR Crystal Sonic Review

Notice: the mid range is balanced with all songs so I will test bass, treble and listening experience.

Songs used in this review :

1. Smooth Operator by Sade.

2. Linger by The Cranberries.

3. Stop Me by Natalia Kills.

4. Bad Mornings by Snow Tha Product.

5. 212 by Azealia Banks.

Song 1:

As I am listening as I write this I must say the song sounds good with the file. The highs are good but can sound slightly harsh depending on your headphones. The instruments can be heard clearly. The bass response is good but not like the similar studio master HD.

Song 2:

This song also sounds great with the irs file. The bass response is very accurate since the song isn't particularly bass heavy. Everything sound can be heard clearly.

Song 3:

This song really tests the clarity and bass response of the irs file. The bass rumbles exactly to rhythm of the song's bass. The song sounds extremely clear.

Song 4:

This hip hop song actually tests the highs more than the bass. Once again the bass response is excellent and very accurate. The highs while good can sound harsh depending on the setup.

Song 5:

The songs sounds good with the file. Audio clarity is great. As with the other songs the highs can sound harsh depending on the setup. Bass response is accurate.

Conclusion :

The highs are the only issue with the file. The bass is accurate and depending on the individual very good. You won't have as enjoyable experience with this file as with the similarly designed prestigePro or studio master PRO. Overall good irs file just the highs need to be toned down.

XHR Xtreme Clarity+ Review

Songs used in the review:

1. Earregular by Tech N9ne.

2. Turn It Up by Stevie Stone.

3. Crawl by Childish Gambino.

4. Nasty Girl by Vanity 6.

5. Devils Don't Fly by Natalia Kills.

Song 1:

This is a odd hip hop song that it isn't bass driven and it's eerie sounding. The vocals are crystal clear. The bass response is very good and not overpowering.

Song 2:

A more traditional hip hop song to test bass response. The bass response while not powerful it is accurate and clear. The clarity with this song is amazing. The overall listening experience is great with the irs file.

Song 3:

With this song the irs file added more balance to the audio. Basically I heard all aspects of the song clearly. Bass response from this particular song was toned down as opposed to the bass centric files. The balance nature of the file made for an enjoyable experience with this song.

Song 4:

This song has a thumping bass line and this file depicts that accurately. The vocals are heard clearly (every sexual innuendo can be heard). The highs aren't harsh making for a more enjoyable experience.

Song 5:

The artist in this song has some strong vocals that is heard clear with the irs file. The highs are perfect for this song. The bass response is accurate as it leaves the bass in the background while remaining powerful.

Conclusion:

This file is what Crystal Sonic should have sound like. It doesn't have the bass response of the studio master HD but it is very accurate and clear. The highs aren't harsh with my setup. The mid range is balanced for a better Soundstage. This isn't a bass centric file so you won't get the powerful bass. Try the file and draw your own conclusion.
