can you please share a frequency response plot of this headphone with us? i'm curious... thx...
Below you can see the defalt écoute audio TH1 frequency response curve (FRC) in green compared to the traditional Harmon Curve (HC) that most headphone use for a target shown in gray. What you will notice is écoute FRC has a stricter/higher fidelity interpretation of the original signal than the HC which lifts the bass and sub-bass ranges as will as the upper-mids to counter balance the bass lift.

The default for the TH1 might sound like the bass is a little soft to those who are used to hearing thier music with boosted bass. However if you are used to listening through studio monitors, the TH1 sounds very accurate. Neither are wrong, just personal preferences. If the default tuning is not exactly what you want, the écoute audio app gives you to change the default FRC built-into the firmware of you headset to whatever your preferences are—more bass, more treble, a specific curve, etc. In fact, one of the presets built into the app that you can choose from is the Harmon Curve (see screen capture below showing the app interface).

If you find that none of the built-in presets are quite right, you can also go full-custom and create up to five personal curve settings. Once a curve is saved to the headset it becomes the default setting and even works with a wired analog connection and without the app running. The app allows 24dB of gain adjustment for eight frequency stop. It also allows you to override the master volume limiter and increase the volume potential to 120db (from th 105dB default). Firmware updates can also be installed using the app future protecting your headset by allowing you to take advantage of any improvements we make to the firmware.

there is usb-c port and bluetooth codec info shown under "specs", but can we use this headphone wired (i.e. plug in headphone to computer via usb-c cable for charging, and play music via cable at the same time)? thx...
Yes, there are three signal paths and four listening modes: wireless via Bluetooth 5.3, lossless digital via USBC, Analog both passive and active/powered via 3.5mm. When listening using USBC, the headphone will simultaneously charge. However you cannot currently charge and listen via 3.5mm or wireless.

Does anyone know the latency on these
Latency is mostly a factor of the Bluetooth codec being used. However as you probably know, connection speeds and sometimes distance between the devices can sometimes add variables. The TH1 prioritizes the two best codecs for audio quality. AAC (Apple) has a latency of around 150 milliseconds, while LDAC (Android) has a latency of around 200 milliseconds. It's important to note that however that many video apps introduce a slight audio delay to counter the affect of any Bluetooth latency.
