Distortion
Pretty severe staticky distortion in the highs and mids at regular volumes for my pair right out of the box. I honestly chalked them up as a loss and forgot about them until tonight. Quite disappointed as they otherwise sound great.
Build is at the highest lvl. Fit well in the ear. Bass is so smooth... Vocals are clear and clean. Ofc its good to spend some time with equalizer. Deafult Its a bit flat. I was testing them with smartphone with dac and pc. Btw sorry for my english ;)
I just bought an additional pair since I purchased PX around a year ago. For $79, I think it is good for the price. I just hope the QC would be better than PX since my old PX was channel imbalanced after a few months of use... But only time can tell...
I have several headphones, and I can say that these have excellent build quality. They provide a neutral sound. They require quite a bit of amplification. For the price, it remains an excellent purchasing option.
I did like the sound of the P1’s after using them over time.. but regardless of tip that I selected. .. I never gained a comfort level while wearing them. I must have an odd ear shape after reading so many reviews who speak of them as comfortable. I ended up giving them to my nephew and he loves them.
Volume in right bud all of the sudden fell to like 10% of the left. Switched ears, and switched cables to make sure the problem was the earbud. After cleaning, the sound is still very quiet...they were good for the couple of months that they lasted, but I've owned $5 earbuds that lasted longer than these.
Not the pinnacle of audio, not even the price point.....
Well, I do have a bit to say about these. They are interesting at best, and kinda bad at worse. They sound kinda flat, boring, but that can be kinda ok. They kinda, and I mean kinda, bring out vocals. Vocals are probably the most forward and that is kinda nice. Bass is fast, but way too reduced. It is barely perceivable, and not really felt. Highs are sort of thin. Again nothing really stands out too much so they just kinda leave you wanting more. I also got a bit of an imperfection in mine. I will be posting a picture when I get around to it. For the price they don't seem worth it to me. I would recommend the moondrop aria or the ikko oh1 at this price point.
I do like using them for sleep tho, comfort is ok, and build is 2/3. The flatness is nice for sleep.
JustSayingI’d make exactly the same response to your review as I did to SniperDave - you almost certainly don’t have the right eartips and they aren’t fitting into the ear canal correctly. Canalphones aren’t like regular earphones, they need a solid fit to seal the ear canal, otherwise there will be relatively little bass. Most people use Comply foam eartips, but I always use triple-flange eartips, which MeeAudio supply, but also it helps if the eartips are moistened before inserting them, along with pulling the outer edge of the ear outwards with the other hand, this opens up the ear canal allowing the eartip to slide in and giving a better seal.
Something else which helps is getting a different cable - I recently bought one from Penon Audio, which is a braided cable using a very soft outer, with a Lightning connector, a USB-C version is also available. This has made a significant difference to the sound quality, it’s more open and detailed, and bass seems to be tighter, and deeper at times; this is entirely dependent on the quality of the original recording. Most of my listening is to downloads from Apple Music at 256Kb, but I have a significant amount ripped at 320Kb from CD, and I honestly cannot tell the difference using the P1’s, especially with the new cables. I’ve spent a lot of time since I got the cables listening to a range of music, I finally went to bed at 2.30am yesterday!
Here’s a link to the cable, for anyone interested, and it’s not expensive, either, which makes it even better. In fact, I’m getting a second cable for my other pair of P1’s, which were an original Drop offer with a dark blue finish.
The fact that I was impressed enough with my original pair of Pinnacle P1’s from MeeAudio to buy a second pair from Drop should be enough confirmation that I’m really very impressed with them, and I have Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10’s, which were around £250-300 to compare them with, they compare very favourably.
All I want now are some custom-fit eartips, but they cost more than the ‘phones, so they’ll have to wait a bit!
PhasmainmachinaLook, I am well aware about tips. They can completely change tonality. I have a good seal. There is no issue there. The included with not mic is a higher impedance than the mixed cable. So the tonality changes a little bit there. But regularly, cables don't affect tone unless they are of a significantly higher/lower impedance than the included cable. I tested amped, different tips, the full shabang. I settled on final audio tips. Still not great. Only ok. 3/5
