Audeze Euclid Planar Magnetic In-Ear Headphones

I suppose the biggest complement I can give the Audeze Euclid is that I forgot these were closed-back IEMs soon into my listening experience. I know it is careful tuning and driver selection/manufacturing, which the brand has worked on getting done in-house for further control, but it might as well...

• +

  Fantastic overall performer, Very good tuning, especially for planar IEMs, Large 18 mm transducer makes the most of the available space, Incredibly detailed bass without feeling anemic, Near-perfect tonal separation in the mids, Male vocals especially are a strong point here, Efficient drivers will...

• -

  Occasional tinniness felt with female vocals and in the upper mids, Tuning needs improvement in the upper highs, roll-off happens earlier than I'd like, Relatively expensive at the asking price, Presentation and unboxing experience weak relative to the cost

Audeze Euclid is a masterpiece of a pair of earbuds! These are also the first plano-magnetic earbuds we can get our heads around.

• +

  Great midrange, lightning fast rhythms, Harmonic and nice treble.

• -

  A bit harsh in the transition from midrange to treble, More energy and punch in the bass is desirable, Needs a good amplifier.

The fantastic planar magnetic audio cannot make up for the practical shortcomings of the Euclid's as a pair of gaming earbuds. The drivers aren't quite as warm in tone as over-ear PM 'phones, and the painful audiophile pricing—with additional costs for the Bluetooth adapter—make them more show-off...

The Audeze Euclid bring technology from Audeze’s over-ear headphones to the in-ear format, delivering richly detailed, differentiated sound.

The Euclid has its flaws, but when it comes to the sound signature, it’s one of the most unique models on the market. Audeze has crafted a wonderfully natural IEM with one of the best sound stages around.

The Euclid aren’t the most demonstrative listen on first acquaintance - but it doesn’t take long for them to reveal themselves as a beautifully balanced and staggeringly detailed listen. As long as you treat them right, source-wise, anyhow, these are superior in-ear audiophile-grade headphones.

• +

  Impressively poised and insightful sound, A remarkable feat of engineering, Comfortable despite appearances

• -

  Not exactly cheap, Could conceivably sound heftier, Wireless connectivity arrangement is slightly cumbersome

Whether it’s the latest ‘Pro’ iPhone or a top of the line graphics card, or just getting a hold of an Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, some people simply want the best, and most powerful, version of whatever they desire.

Amazingly, Audeze have shrunk their proven planar magnetic driver technology to fit into a conventional earbud format. How do they sound in practice?

The planar magnetic Audeze Euclid earphones deliver a detailed, mids- and-highs-focused sound signature, but are likely too expensive for all but the most deep-pocketed audiophiles.

• +

  Superb, accurate, dynamic audio across the frequency range, Planar magnetic drivers, Secure fit, Solid array of eartips and accessories

• -

  Prohibitively expensive, Not custom-molded, Not for those seeking extra features or boosted bass

Still trying for thé perfect ear nozzle. So far sounds very good.

Well, in keeping with its illustrious namesake, the Euclid has certainly led me to explore all the angles!

• +

  good technical performance, comfort, speed and detail, excellent sound quality (signature varies with source), nice design, detail retrieval, soundstage, + Great Build, + Superb staging & Imaging, + Superb midrange performance, + Great treble & bass performances, + Great pairing with dongles and...

  Stock tuning not for me, price, Sound varies quite a lot from source to source, fit may not suit everyone, many other outstanding options in this price bracket, - Fit not great for everyone, - Came with 3.5mm connector initially (later 4.4mm connector added with default package), A bit bass light
