"When I first connected the X4 earbuds to my Pixel 9 Pro and played my favorite Spotify playlist, I was seriously disappointed. The sound was overly tinny, had no bass, and the highs were poorly mixed in with the mids. Knowing Treblab doesn't have a mobile app for customizing the sound, I thought something had to be wrong. The X4 earbuds look every bit the part of over-the-ear earbuds. They have a loop that goes around your ear, and the speaker rests inside."
"Also: I'm an audiophile, and these $150 wireless earbuds for gaming had me fooled What I didn't realize was that these are not over-the-ear earbuds and, in fact, do need a proper seal; otherwise, they sound awful. Get the seal just right, and you'll get more bass, less pronounced mids, and a decent amount of highs. These are not high-end, audiophile earbuds, but given the current price ( on Amazon), the Treblab X4 earbuds aren't bad."
The writer prefers vinyl, a specific EQ curve, and genres such as classical, metal, prog, 80s, and select pop. Floor-standing speakers are the usual choice, with earbuds used for portable listening. Favorite earbuds include Denon PearL Pro, Creative Aurvana Ace 3, and Beyerdynamic Amiron 300, which occupy the mid-price range. Treblab produces budget earbuds and speakers that often outperform expectations. The Treblab X4 initially sounded tinny with no bass and muddled highs when not sealed properly. The X4 resemble over-the-ear models but require an in-ear seal; with the seal, bass and clarity improve, making them decent value for the price.
