The Audio-Technica
ATH-SPORT70BT came in a nice looking color printed box with photos and specs of
the IEM. Opening the box revealed a well protected product held in place by
custom molded plastic. Materials used in the construction was mostly plastic
with some rubber and a little metal in the wrap around frame. Quality of
materials used, as well as the fit and finish was very good. Audio-Technica is
known for making a quality product, even in their more economical products like
this one. Also included was additional ear tips so you can get a good fit, a
charging cord, and a soft zipper case with an interior pocket to hold the
accessories.
When it came to using
the product, I was very satisfied. And the design worked very well. I was able
to get a good fit with the included tips. The bendable frame made sure I had a
snug fit to keep the IEM in place. Pairing with the LG V40 ThinQ was very
simple and easy. They even had decent Bluetooth range at 30-40 feet, depending
if there are walls between you and your phone.
Now it’s time for the listening. Disturbed- Sound
of Silence: Piano sounded natural, vocals had good texture, guitar was very
crisp, violin had nice harmonics. Adele- Rolling In The Deep: Guitar was very
crisp and clean, vocals smooth with great texture. Drums had very good impact
and deep low-end extension, piano sounded natural. High hat was crisp and
dynamic, as were the percussion. Junior Wells- Why Are People Like That: Bass
had very nice depth, drums were very dynamic, cymbals were very crisp and piano
sounded natural, harmonic was smooth, clean and very dynamic. Vocals had nice
timbre and harmonics, sound stage was surprisingly big, overall a bit bright.
Liquid Soul- Spam Sucker: Trumpets were really smooth and dynamic, drums, as
well as the cymbals and high hat were really crisp and clean, kick drum had
good impact, sax had really good harmonics and woodiness.
As far as the overall sound, the Audio-Technica
ATH-SPORT70BT had a slightly bright sound signature, with good resolution for
the price. Being wireless and waterproof, they are a great value for the price.
