None in the market can beat Perl Pro in every aspect of sound at current price ($150-200)
They kinda get clapped by the Perl Pros
The Perl Pros are absolutely amazing!!!
I hated the perl pro. I would say for bass alone, though they're old, the liberty 3 pro. They still have pretty good modern features but they're very harsh on treble so will need an eq. Second choice would be the Master&Dynamic MW09
I have the Perl Pros and never really thought of them as bass cannons. I just put the foam tips on and I think they have really good bass. Obviously depends on the seal you get with the eartips. The sound is phenomenal though. I also have Soundcore X20s in my golf bag for the range, and like them a little better for bass/rock/louder music. They have a much better ipx rating for sweaty stuff and can be had for $60 on sale. An absolute bargain. If you can lay on your back, get the Skullcandy Crusher over the ears. That is where the bass is.
Honestly can't believe the Perl Pro still gets love. I had 3 of them 2 I sent back because of defective and the 3rd collects dust as I use my nothing ear a more. The fit just doesn't feel right, its heavy after an hour of use so who cares about battery life, things look massive in your ears, may as well get some over ears for comfort. I know its anecdotal, but AZ100s should absolutely have topped this list compared to a Denon Perl Pro
I have the liberty 3 pros, aurvana ace 2, and just bought the perl pros. Im trying to figure out how to sell my aurvana ace 2. I cant sell them to someone in good faith unless they know what they are getting into. Any ideas?
The potential to be amazing* it depends on your luck on testing or the effort you put into them. Definitely not for everyone, but I like them.
If you can find a set of Perl Pros under 200, that's the best bass you will ever get. I'm a basshead and have a collection of dozens and dozens of TWS, from high end to budget. I've owned most of the biggest names. Setting the "Immersion" slider (which is just a bass boost setting) up to max creates a subwoofer-like rumble in your ear that nothing else comes close to. Don't listen to people who have had a few pairs and think their current TWS is amazing. Listen to those who have tried them all, or most of them. Under $200, which the Perl Pro is often at, is probably the best sound quality AND best bass you can get at that price. In fact, more expensive pairs like the Beoplay Ex, Pi8, Tour Pro 3, AZ80, and other often-recommended pairs are still beneath it, in my opinion. You can make it flat or have HUGE bass with a single setting, the value is enormous. Trust me. The only thing is they look odd to some people, and some complain they are uncomfortable. However, with spinfit tips, they are literally the most comfortable TWS I own, and that's not an exaggeration. So it varies.
Perl pro is such a wonderful gem... With unfortunately constant issues
I sent it back, there was a strange sound on each ear, can't remember exactly if it was a hiss or sthg, but it was a common issue on this. I will look this up (And Bluetooth yeah...) Too bad, because the sound was fantastic
