Refusal to take responsibility.
Hi, Just thought I would make a note here of your handling of my issues. I ordered a pair of HD6xx headphones and then earlier today recieved the package. I drive to go and get it, as I like in the UK I had to pay import tax and handling fees. These total £47.92. The breakdown being £35.92 in tax and £12 in fees. These taxes were calculated of the shipping label of the box, which marked the shipment as the 6xx headphones of $199 value. Before leaving the parcel depot, I open the box to find a $35 lord of the rings mousepad. So now the problem is not only do I not have the headphones, but you have marked the shipment wrong so I have paid £47.92 fees for the handling of the mousepad. Which would have acrued £0 of fees if marked correctly as it is under £135. I go back to the desk but as I have already paid the fees I am unable to reject the shipment, but as the box said 6xx, there was no way for me to know before opening it. I contact support and they offer me a replacement, which...

CONs : -Tinny sound. The sound it produce is a bit Tinny sounding, like higher pitch, or sharp for some reason, it doesn't have the roundness, or the fullness specially on vocals. Kind of hard to explain. -Cables are cheap af. Cables will be the first to fail for sure. -Details are not good, sound separation is also not that good. Decent at best. -Too much Bass, it's not muddy at all, but a bit overpowering Bass. I might be biased because I love my neutral audio gears. -While the ear tips are good, for some reason it's hard to get a good seal. I end up pressing it on my ear to make sure it's sealed. Sometimes it feels sealed, but it's not. Probably driver angle problem? I'm not sure.
And so : I compared it with my Tin Audio T2, which is not that expensive either but I don't have any other IEMs. Used it both using e10k for DAC, and Magni3 for AMP. Songs that I used to compare both IEMs are... 1. Talullah - Jamiroquai 2. Canned Heat - Jamiroquai 3. Take the power back - Rage Against the Machine 4. Paper Trails - Darkside 5. Bitch, Don't kill my vibe - Kendrick Lamar 6. Arped - Vaishiyas As you can see, I chose songs that are a bit Bassy, but still has details and other instruments on it. Specially the first 4 songs.
Conclusion : I gave it 3/5 star because for $10, they are really good! Do I recommend this? Nope. Even for this price? Maybe. I mean it's $10, it's super cheap. But if you can save another $30, you're better off buying the Tin Audio T2 for around $40. Sure it's 4x the price of this Bolt IEM, but it also comes with x100 better cables, sounds way better, better build quality, and better bang for your buck IEM than this. I'm by no mean an expert, this is just my opinion. If you don't agree, tell me and we'll talk about it like civilized men.
