amazon Earsonic S-EM6 reviews
Before launching the commercial version of S-EM6 for everyone, the company has developed the Custom-Inear EM6 Headset for the best of both worlds. So S-EM6 has many similarities with its predecessor. The S-EM6 is made from acrylic resin, the plastic for premium custom headsets. Each earpiece is made from the hands of Earsonics’ top-of-the-line sound engineers with the highest level of detail and sophistication. Maybe to say that every product be sold is unique and can not be exactly the same. The ears are large and quite thick, because the inside must hold up to 6 small speakers. On the body of the headset carved a series of numbers, this is the number of the headset. The exterior of the headset carved “ES” is Earsonics – the company name and “S-EM6” – the name of the headset. Can be said that this is a high-end design.
The headphone cord is still the standard of the company, and is used extensively from low-end products such as the SM-2 iFI or Custom headphones. Wire is soft, so it is difficult to be tangled, including the tangle is also very easy to remove. The connector is standard 2-pin headset, very solid and difficult to slip. This cord has a section called “memory cord”, inside which has a long metal rod that can be bent to fit in the ear better to provide comfort to the listener. The S-EM6 uses a “L” -shaped jack, and a break-resistant plastic cover.
Before glancing through the sources I used to coordinate with S-EM6. I would like to share more about the experience of mixing and choosing the right source, you need to pay attention to the parameters of the headset such as sensitivity and impedance, speaker structure and the number of drivers of the headset. The higher the sensitivity, the less picky the source is. Here, the S-EM6 has a sensitivity of 124 dB / mW, which indicates that the ear will have a very loud sound at 1mW. Earsonics has a relatively high resistance of 60 ohms which makes the headphones more friendly to many large output sources such as AMP, or when you turn the volume too loud. Limiting the phenomenon of rupture and sonic. However, with high impedance, it will make the ear more power, and the transmitter will consume more power to run this headset. My advice when you encounter such high sensitivity hearing aids is to find an output impedance of 0.1 ohm, which will give you better sound for your headphones. At present most high-end sources for headphones do this well.
Of course, the parameters only tell you which source is strong enough to pull the ear and the sound is bursting or deforming more or less, the sound of it is good or bad not full shown here. To get a good source for the headphone, usually when you notice that the headset sounds too dark, you need to find a sound source that is bright enough to make the overall sound brighter and vice versa if it is too bright. or bass is not strong enough to choose a darker source. The mix of headphones and sources is also heavily influenced by the type of music you are listening to, the vocalist, the main instrument.
But in reality S-EM6 is not so simple, I have tried many sources to find the best sound for it;
With the Apple iphone 6S, bass is quite powerful enough, but the narrow and lack of detail, only reached 5/10 points
With the ibasso D-14 or ibasso DX80 space is expanded, the details are better, but the sound seems quite dull, only reached 7/10 points
With the DAC / Amp Chord Mojo, the space becomes wider, airy, and the sound becomes more fun and attractive, reaching 9/10 points
With AK120II bass, the deeper, the treb also fresher, the space is quite wide, reaching 9/10 points
With the AK380, the sound becomes evenly balanced in all three bands, with wider, mid-back, sweet and smooth midrange. The treble is very rich and reaches 10/10 points.
With Fiio X5 sound is relatively neutral, mid soft to hear more, and treb quite well, however space is not really good, reaching 8/10 points
With the Fiio X7 and Cowon P1 sounding fairly balanced, the midrings are more natural, the bass is better controlled and the treb is richer. The sound and acoustics are quite good, reaching 9/10 points.
In the audio track of S-EM6 with different sources, through many familiar tracks I noticed that the S-EM6 is a good earphone to check the quality of the recording. I heard a lot of interesting sounds I had never heard in the familiar music. Because of the great detail of the ear, I began to find limitations in the recordings. I realize most of the records originated from Vietnam are not good quality sound, many errors, there are many negative tone, so the sound is not clean, I guess because the studio has not recorded quality Good sound quality and suppressed sound, in addition to the quality of the receiver also seems to be not really good, the sound I hear as being covered by a thin screen, not really clear. With recordings originating in Japan, and South Korea, even China, are better than the others, and the best is the UK, US recordings, the sound is clear.
The headphones made me change my listening habits and make me feel young again
Most of the audiophile headphones I’ve experienced previously focused on neutral or natural sound, with moderate, mid and treble bass, including the Sennheiser HD800. It’s really glowing when performing music tracks with the presence of many instruments, listening to Kenny G’s trumpet, Michael Jackson’s songs are my favorites …, But I never heard POP UK, US music with HD800. Actually, I rarely listen to Dance, Remix, or EDM, but bass music, as it makes me feel very tired, headache so I’m just confined to pop music, jazz, Vocal, lyrical music.
But things have changed, with S-EM6, the headset has given me a really enjoyable experience that changed my listening habits, and it made me rejuvenate. The bass of the S-EM6 has fascinated me, it’s really boastful, explosive, but it’s extremely well controlled, it’s better than all the headphones I’ve ever used, and with I’m better than the bass from dynamic driver headphones that are said to have bass strength, I think this is a very high quality bass, and precious.
Nothing is perfect
The EarSonics S-EM6 is a very high-end model, with excellent sound and balance. To do this, the company had to put in each ear 6 Driver, making the headset size is not small. However, the company has also tried to create the most comfortable wearing pattern for the user. Indeed, with the exception of those with a very small ear canal, most can wear a headset very comfortably. This is the best acoustic earphone I’ve ever used, but for good sound insulation you will have to accept the type of rubber that gets deep into your ear canal, with Those who are not used to wearing inear, will initially feel a bit uncomfortable, and I’m a fan of headphone inear, this is a headset that gives me feel very comfortable.
In addition, the lack of built-in microphone, and the keys will cause inconvenience for you when using with the Smartphone, of course this is less likely because most of us will hear on professional music player. About signal cable, some users on the head-fi site said that replacing the original card with high-quality silver will improve the mid-range and significantly improve the sharpness of the strip.

Soundtage
The S-EM6 is a pretty pickpocket, with a common source like the ipod or iphone, you will feel something is not right, the mid is thick, space is narrow, you are not Too nervous, of course, it still sounds superior to a headset range $200 to $250 on the market, but if you have a good enough source, like the AK120II, Fiio X7 or higher, the AK380 , you will feel the value of this headset, now the sound field is expanded, the space is created not the same as you are listening to an ear inear anymore as you are listening to a full size ear The very high open level, the soundtage is very wide, open, the volume is excellent, with a balance between width and depth.
More about bass, usually in midrange earphones, the sound field is usually made up of treble resolutions, and a lot of people are also mistaken for this as a measure of the sound field’s width. The firms has made headphone models with treble, but when heard for a long time, the listener feels tired, and in the long run recognizes the treble strips as opposed to the whole. A balanced headset means that a headset must achieve a balance between the three strings of sound, bass, mid and treb, and the space must be well-proportioned in all three strings. The low and mid range earphones, it is difficult to create space for bass. Creating the space between the bass and the other two sounds makes the S-EM6 very expensive, and you will feel it when you experience the Ak380 and S-EM6 combo. Maybe i will remembers the great sound of this combo.
