Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
TKZK Ouranos has a neutral and near flat sound signature.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The low frequencies seem a bit shallow, but are sufficiently linear to provide good perspective.
The balance with the midrange is almost balanced, and is set at a level where it is slightly weaker than the midrange, depending on the volume. So there is little to disturb the midrange, at least around the right volume level.
For my taste, the drum kicks are shallow, lacking in heft and impact. Rumble is also weak.
Electric bass is also a bit bright, and I feel it has good perspective, but the blackness is weak and the contrast is not very good and lacks depth.
It will be a little difficult to satisfy bass lovers. On the other hand, if you like a monitor-like sound, you will probably like it.
Mids
The midrange of the TKZK Ouranos is almost completely neutral and balanced, coming out bright and forward. The mid-highs are slightly forward, with a monitor-like adjustment that gives a slightly stronger sense of construction.
Snare sharpness and electric guitar edges are reasonably firm and solid enough, and the structure of the musical framework is fairly easy to grasp. Consonants are easy to understand and vocalists' active tones are audible, percussion has a clear rise and fall, and the sense of rhythm is clear.
Resolution and transparency are also at an excellent level considering the price. The midrange is well finished.
Highs / Treble
The high frequencies of the TKZK Ouranos are not bad, although the extension is a bit lacking. However, it lacks definition and tends to sound fuzzy in detail, which tends to adversely affect the sense of localization.
The highs are generally low energy, and even those who are sensitive to high frequencies may find them safe. The sibilance is soft, and "s" consonants are restrained and not piercing. However, the brightness is a bit dark and much weaker than the brightness of the midrange.
This makes the midrange spotlight more prominent, and although the acoustic structure allows vocals and midrange instrumental sounds to be heard impressively, it tends to sound a bit static and lacking in dynamism.
The shimmer of the hi-hats is not quite right, and the cymbal-type sounds seem too subdued. There is a sense of tranquility in some parts, which I feel is not so bad, but it lacks subtlety.
Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: S-
- Recommendation: S-
- Personal preference: A+
Looking at sound balance alone, the TKZK Ouranos appear to be a TinHiFi C3 with a weakly tuned low frequency range.
Although we do not know if this is due to the difference in the driver diaphragm material, the resolution is higher than that of the C3, and although the performance is a step up from the already superior C3, the price difference is well justified in terms of sound quality.
