@@DHRME The Cleers. Tossed in a gym bag perfect daily beater. The sound lads! I listened to the relevant sound samples with a Periodic Rhodium DAC paired with a Topping NX7 and, of course, Koss Porta Pro with Yaxi pads. To my ears, the Cleer Enduro takes the sound category easily however that's only one case use so others may disagree.

[@craigkeys4]

My soundcore q45 got an update that added sound id, which changed the sound dramatically to me for the better.... I love that about soundcore... always trying to improve their products with updates.

[@DHRME]

True that.

[@hahaepic4165]

I bought one yesterday and did the sound ID thing, thought it was a gimmick but the end result from the automated process is surprisingly close to what I like, I tweaked the highs a little in the subsequent customization and it's nearly perfect now.

[@slraver4357]

bro do you recommend me Soundcore Q45 if I'm looking for loud level listening and punchy bass? anything to consider?

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

I always feel like those hear ID features just add volume to create the illusion of better sound. I mean it's a fun little parlor trick and it's nice to have but I just have a hard time believing these companies can genuinely find a proprietary algorithm based on your own hearing that would be able to do that.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

​@@hahaepic4165they do tend to sound better but I think they add volume. I think that's why people tend to universally prefer the sound. I might be a cynic but that's my experience. it's not a big deal to me either way. I usually do a custom EQ of my own choice rather than rely on the algorithm but I just can't believe he's consumer facing headphones would have the kind of technology to be able to accurately detect a good EQ for you based on your hearing. Not even medical grade stuff has that ability

I have the SC q30 and just bought the sony whch 720. I've got to say the soundcore sound is just better, same as anc. The only downside for me is that the sc is just a bit bulky for my small head lol. So my guess is for sound and anc the sc is better.

The default audio isn't good out of the box. A bit V-shaped, but with the 8 band graphic equalizer it offers you can adjust the sound to your liking, and make the frequency response much flatter if you enjoy a more Hi-fi sound.
