It has very good sonicality and is capable of delicate cue placements. Both lower and treble regions take smaller volume while the mid, especially the vocals enjoy the lion's share. I was not expecting a lot from it and it doesn't disappoint. It's just above average and that alright.
Those who do not want to have the sharpness with their music will enjoy it a lot. It barely maintains any relevance, restricting its extension.Īm I disappointed? Not at all, this lack of energy gives it a friendlier feeling. It does struggle with air and $200 level separation. Till this points Neon has good details and clarity. The mid treble region maintains average sparkle and energy as it starts to drop energy. The lower treble region has the energy of the upper mids delivering very good instrumental clarity. This is where this single BA based entry level IEM gives starts to struggle. It has a well defined upper mids and the extra energy results into more transparent and cleaner notes without pushing the boundaries of comfort. It does not have a lot of definition with fast paced songs like "Halsey - Easier than lying" and that's where this IEM is brought down to its suggested price. If you like a bit of attack this IEM will provide that but it does not get anywhere close to aggressive. Expensive IEMs like Kinera Norn and even Thieaudio Monarch struggle with this type of consistency.
What's surprising is that, when driven out of a good source this IEM has no anomalies with emphasis and note formes. Let it be Dotan or Halsey, they all sound pleasing with impressive texture and definition. Both vocals and instruments have excellent transparency. It just simply does not miss a single note while keeping things calm and clear of any sharpness. Neon slightly struggles with the lower end but the mid range is one of the best under $200 for any type of IEM. People are critical about the texture and layered feeling of BA based IEMs, don't expect an evolved layering but it does not lack texture. The decay speed is on the faster side, it does not wait for the notes to gain weight but that give it the precision leading to a cleaner and better defined notes. On the down side, the upper bass is a bit more prominent and can give it a drier and less juicy feel. The mid bass has more volume and fuller notes but it just does not have a lot of weight or energy giving it more accuracy and precision. The sub bass extension is not as good as $200 IEMs but is very good for a $50 IEM. Neon does not favor the lower end much while delivering a aptly fuller lower end. It barely has any flavoring keeping the tonality and timber much closer to natural. Unlike other single BA based IEM like Campfire Satsuma and Akoustyx R110, Neon has a more balanced sound. It has nothing else but details and accuracy in its heart and mind.
