The Fearless Audio Tequila is here and I really love it. This is a keeper for me. I really couldn’t find anything wrong but of course I have to nit-pick a little; I would like the stage to be bigger, it was good but a little bigger would have been nice. Would like a little more sparkle at the upper end. Bass is huge improvement over S8Z
Imaging is very good, separation is excellent, really excellent. Mid’s, Highs, bass all in the right place with good tone. Voices are very, very. very realistic. Consistently I could really feel the emotion in the songs, it really moved me. I really need to emphasize this, every song I played sounded “epic”. I could feel the singers or the musicians “intent” or emotion in the song. It was a very profound experience. Yes it sounds like I am hyping these but truly this was my experience. The timbre was the best I have come across, better that the Audiosense AQ3 or T800. The fantastic timbre and imaging created a very 3 dimensional sound experience where I felt like I was right there with the performers.
Against the Tanchjim Oxygen it had much fuller sound, better separation and the stage was a little better on the Tanchjim. Tonality was also better. Details were good without being overwhelming. These are substantially better than the S8Z. Depth back to front was good, side to side depth felt a little narrow.
You can see I liked these as i tested an unusually large number of songs. I really couldn’t help my self, I loved the sound. But I also wanted to make sure I was really understanding these.
These are a shining example of how a manufacturer puts there best foot forward. The IEMs are “beautiful”, the packaging was excellent and very “polished”. The cable is excellent. You can see the internals through the clear resin body and you can easily see that there are special brackets made that support the BA and the DD inside. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is outstanding. To date these are the best sounding and most well made IEM’s I have tested and owned.
I will be keeping these..
Definite recommended buy. Nothing at this price competes, at all. These are an easy recommend.
