Samsung Type-C AKG Earphones (Wired) | Full Review.

[VedantKalore]

So it has been a week since I using the Samsung Type-C AKG Wired earphones and it was a pretty great experience. Let's Start! 1. Design: It is a great-looking design, and feels premium because bro has braided wire. 2. Build: Great build quality and it's strong of course wired earphone wires need to be taken care of as they are a bit fragile. Care like not bending it too much and not stretching the wire anywhere otherwise left or right or the mic may stop working which is pretty usual with any audio device with wires! 3. Sound quality: Yes now we are talking real business. These have a typical AKG-Harman Curve with a bit or less than the typical V-Tuning. being a bit less than the typical signature V-shaped tuning you may feel that the base is less but it has plenty of bass as it has the signature Harman Curve and instrument separation, channel separation (stereo), Frequency separation, and response is also very good. The vocals are also great! They have a 2-way sound speaker. Sound profile:

Compared with Harman:

They sound pretty impressive. It supports up to 24bit/196Khz lossless Audio via the USB-C and yes you can use the Samsung UHQ with these. and please turn off Dolby Atmos for better quality. It has a DAC built-in for that. Thus it's detected as a USB-DAC.

I listened to a variety of 24-bit lossless FLAC songs, with very satisfying results. and yes you can use them with Apple Music turning on the Hi-Res Lossless Audio. 4. Comfort: Talking of comfort, they are really comfortable, literally so much that you can sleep with them on! And also can be used for long hours. 5. Mic Quality is really good and it records so well that it almost feels like the person is in front of you! It is great for calls too. Talking overall it's a worthwhile purchase for INR 2K and honestly, I just loved them. I would rate them 9.5/10. Reason: It lacks ANC and Samsung discontinued the ANC model. Model No: EO-IC100 ANC one: EO-IC500 There is a 3.5m version I guess. If you prefer Neutral Sound then go for Moondriop Aria. For V-Shape: 7HZ ZERO. Hope You liked it and enjoyed reading it.

Good review but my experience has been completely different. I purchased this with my S23 because I loved the akg set I got with my Note9 they were brilliant and I used them for years until one side gave up. It had a really well balanced base and good sound stage, I could hear so many instruments clearly but it's not the same with the new USB version.
When I bought it and held it in my hand for the first time I could immediately tell that this felt cheaper in hand. I started using it and to me bass it low, bad sound stage, everything sounds muffled.
Tbh I have a pair of Boat 103 which sounds better.
I'll tried with dolby atmos on and off and I don't see any difference.

The thing is the curve changed a bit, it deviates from the actual Harman curve as you can see from the graph in the post thus less base plus boat ones have a very sharp V-shaped tuning thus very high bass which makes many higher end ones especially the balanced curve ones bad but that it how it is.
