Sound quality description
The following review was tested with a FiiO M15.
The JTS HP-535 has a deformed U-shaped sound signature with a concave shape near the upper midrange.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The low frequencies of the TS HP-535 have excellent power and weight, and although they are massive, they are not very deep and sound waist-high.
The drum kick is rather heavy and impactful, but lacks rawness due to little rumble, and the floor rumbles are shallow and tap-like.
The electric bass also has a good amount of blackness, but the impression is bright and not very expansive.
If you want to monitor low frequencies, it is better to use the TASCAM TH-06 or use earphones.
Mids
The midrange of the JTS HP-535 is quite bright and could be described as monitor-like in that respect.
While the midrange is fairly flat up to around the center of the midrange, the staging is quite emphasized from there, giving an excessive sense of depth. As a result, there is a sense that the midrange is very emphasized and resonant, making texture and localization difficult to discern.
This is enjoyable in some ways, as it gives an interesting live sound, as if you were listening to music in a gymnasium, but as a monitor, it is likely to be limited in its use. At the very least, mixing with this is going to be quite a challenge for the average person. However, the vocal sound image sounds unusually large, so it may not be rather bad for vocal lovers.
For some people, the sound field will seem quite wide, and the sound will be highly immersive with a rich atmosphere that surrounds you in a torrent of musical resonance, but it will be quite difficult to use as professional monitors.
I personally like it a lot because it feels very highly full.
Highs / Treble
The high frequencies of the JTS HP-535 are not badly extended. The sense of depth is emphasized, but definition is high, so the sense of detail is quite solid.
While the sense of localization is fairly hard to discern, the depth of the soundstage is tuned so that the entire soundstage sounds filled with resonance. It is true that this creates a unique sense of information and space, creating a highly immersive listening experience.
It will not be a hit with audiophiles who value original sound fidelity, but it is highly recommended for those who want to be enveloped by the music itself.
Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: B+
- Recommendation: D
- Personal preference: S-
If you are thinking of using the JTS HP-535 for general mixing or recording monitor purposes, this is not recommended at all. However, the unique, resonant, rich sound creates a fairly high sense of immersion, so it has a unique live sound that will be quite addictive to those who are into it.
In fact, these headphones are one of my secret favorites. Watching movies with these headphones is quite immersive.
