AFUL Performer 5+2

€239,00

Energetic & Technical

The AFUL Performer 5+2 is cool, clear and sparkly, with deep sub-bass that stays out of the way and a micro-planar tweeter that pulls out the clicks, cymbals and textures in electronic music, and it runs happily off a basic phone dongle. Some markets sell it as the Performer 7, and it's the same earphone. The tradeoff is warmth: if you want a cosy, thick sound, or bright treble tires you, this one will feel too lean.

What others ask  about AFUL Performer 5+2

Is the bass on the AFUL Performer 5+2 sub-bass focused or mid-bass punchy?

Sub-bass focused. The AFUL Performer 5+2, which is sold as the Performer 7 in some markets, has a second dynamic driver dedicated to the low end, and it adds depth and speed to the rumble while the mid-bass stays controlled. You feel the bass line underneath the music without it thickening everything above.

How do vocals sound on the AFUL Performer 5+2?

Natural. Voices on the AFUL Performer 5+2 sit level with the instruments, clear and balanced, neither forward nor recessed. The tuning has energy but never turns shouty, which is the usual risk when a set has this much upper detail.

Is the treble on the AFUL Performer 5+2 smooth, sparkly or sharp?

Crisp. A micro-planar tweeter (a tiny flat-film driver for the highs) brings out the fine electronic detail most warm sets smear over, and the treble on the AFUL Performer 5+2 stays clear of shoutiness while doing it. It's detailed and energetic without being sharp.

Is the AFUL Performer 5+2 fatiguing over long sessions?

Not at normal listening levels. The AFUL Performer 5+2 is light and ergonomic, easy for long listens, and the treble stays crisp without turning shouty. It is a detailed, energetic tuning though, so it keeps your attention more than a warm set does.

Is the soundstage of the AFUL Performer 5+2 intimate or wide?

Natural in size. The AFUL Performer 5+2 sits between intimate and wide, and its strength is separation more than scale, because the fine detail makes each layer easy to follow. Choose the Performer 5+2 if you'd rather have voices at a natural distance and a tighter focus.

Does the AFUL Performer 5+2 fit smaller ears?

Light and ergonomic is the short answer, and the AFUL Performer 5+2 is easy for long listens. The resin shell is shaped to follow the ear, which spreads the pressure, but seven drivers make this a medium shell and not a small one.
