amazon Audio Technica ATH IM01 reviews
Before I often think the BA 1 driver will have a sound quality, even the lack of IM01 has made a complete change. Only with a small BA driver, but the sound quality of the IM01 is very full, each strip has a nice, but harmonious and unified.
1, Bass
To be fair, IM01 is not a bass player. If there are conditions to listen to the entire IM family, IM01 is the member with the slightest bass. But to say the bass of IM01 is a big mess! I still do not believe ATH’s driver technology is so developed, a BA driver stretches all three strings of bass that the bass is still quite convincing. Bass, medium impact, bounce, moderate speed. Compared to the metal ear, the bass speed of the IM01 is still a bit slower. This bass sounds very good jazz, there is something certant, bouncing. Compared to the entire IM, the IM01 offers the fastest bass, IM04 has quite a strong bass that is quite good. The IM01 is more convincing than the IM04!
Good bass sound, but can not keep up with the traditional dynamic membrane like CKS or M50x, but doing bass sound like that on BA is really too good. If the IM03 or IM04, the bass as well as the sound is significantly improved, but in return the bass is quite long tail. Sub bass is in good condition because it is not deep down. I have heard of ATH’s attempt to make bass in IM, but with the limit of a driver, it can not be perfect. We have a sub bass is not light loss, stabilizer, high speed. The one I absolutely love is the completely separate bass with the overall sound! The most hated thing when listening to music is that everything is messy, no place of its own, ATH has completely overcome this.
To sum up the bass of the IM01, I will be in a word: Compact. Everything is clean, high speed, but sure. If you need a deep bass sound and more moan maybe IM02.
2, Mid
ATH is always the customer satisfaction with sweet melodic sweetness, from the DJ to the vocal headphones. The IM line is aimed at high-level music listeners who fall into the category of professionalism, so the mid-range is pushed to a new level. Unlike many other companies, mid-ATH always impresses the audience at the beginning, and IM01 is no exception. Just wearing the ear for a moment I felt a sweet mid, thick and advanced. Male and female vocalists are well represented. One thing I noticed at IM01 is that the mid is pushed not so completely forward, but in a fairly appropriate position, there is warm and thick so hear not tired.
Mid IM01 is not very high, the mid looks softer, so dresses do not bring the glare, sib. The clarity of the mid is well illustrated, showing the mid that made the ATH name.
The best thing to say is that the difference between a normal headset and a low-end headset is the display of the sound and the arrangement of the instrument. Actually IM01 has done a very good job of this. Each sound is arranged in the right place, not stick together. Listening from cheap headphones to the IM01 is really a switch from listening to the radio to listening to live! This is very clear with the complex instruments, the instruments are shown to have the substance of the instrument.

Treb
Treb is probably the least push of the IM01, but still better than many competitors in the price range. Perhaps IM01’s treble is more about enjoyment than technical display. Treb IM01 focuses on the lightness, separation but harmony. Treb space is still quite good, pulling the whole song When you believe it becomes softer. This can be explained because the height of the IM01 is only about 15-16kHz, not higher than dynamic. However, it should not be taken out to evaluate the feel, what ATH tuning for the treble of the IM01 is completely convincing, suited to the soundsign of the headset.
Conclude:
Maybe IM is the ultimate destination for those who love Inear with the sweet sound of ATH. All the essence of ATH converged on a small headset. IM01 is the youngest of the IM family, with only one driver, but without much discussion, this is really a very high p / p headphone, bringing the new colors, colors of the Japanese audio company.
