FatFreq Maestro Mini

The Maestro Mini takes FatFreq's sub-bass reputation and shrinks it into a shell you can actually wear all day. One driver handles a huge, deep low end. Two smaller drivers take the mids and highs. The trick is keeping them apart, so that big bass stays focused down low. Kick drums and bass lines carry real physical weight without swallowing the singer.

Be clear on what this is. It's a bass earphone, first and last. There is more low end here than most sets will ever give you. If you want flat and even-handed, look elsewhere. If you've been burned by bass that turns to mush, the Mini delivers it with control. Hip-hop, electronic, film scores. Loud enough straight off a phone or small dongle.
