VSONIC VSD1S: Kaboom for your buck: The all-rounder prodigy.
A big thank you to Hifinage for binging Vsonic to India. Shipping was super-fast, decent pricing and pre and post-purchase customer care is top-notch.
Build, accessories and comfort:
The plastic housing is light and has a good feel to it, although the comic sans lettering is far from classy. The metal swivel nozzles ooze quality and the cable looks like it can take a beating. I must point out that despite their over-ear appearance, the VSD1/S is equally comfortable worn up/down. The light housing and swivel nozzles contribute hugely. Plus, they include ear-guides for those tricky situations.
A decent number of tips are included with the VSD1S, that will tip roll you into a good fit. I particularly like the Vsonic foam tips. They are denser than comply memory foam tips but very comfortable. And unlike comply, they do not alter the sound(for me at least). One important thing to note is that the nozzle is thinner than most earphones, ruling out tip swapping from other earphones (unless they have a slim nozzle too)
Microphonics: Cable down is below average and non-existent when worn cable up. I observed no driver flex whatsoever.
Sound:
Source: LG G2, Sansa Clip Zip, Asus Ultrabook. The VSD1S is easily driven to ear-splitting volumes and respond well to EQ. All tracks were >256kbps.
The overall signature is V-shaped. But the V is not drastic and therefore plays well with all genres.
The bass is bumped over neutral with good presence. Not very linear though, with a gradual boost up to the midbass before dropping in the lower mids. The sub-bass is felt at average listening volumes, has a natural decay and is of better quality (read: control) than the mid-bass. The midbass keeps things lively. However, the drop in upper mids is more evident as a result.
The mids are not strictly recessed. They sit a row behind the ensemble and are sufficiently accurate and clear. The upper mids are gradually more emphasized (a trend which continues into the treble range). Female vocals are more intelligible than male vocals. In tracks that do not have much midbass presence, the mids really shine through and show how capable the VSD1S midrange is.
Having read reports of sibilance on the GR07, I was pleasantly surprised to note that this wasn’t a major issue on the VSD1S and was forgiving enough. Yes, the treble is emphasized, and on occasion does overstep the line, but only when the recording contains stressed TTT’s or shhh’s. In short, the VSD1S treble is not a deal-breaker. On the contrary, it made the IEM more enjoyable.
The soundstage does not leave you wanting, with average depth and above average width. Stereo imaging is convincing and is helped further by high bitrate audio.
This must give you a picture of what makes the VSD1S a great IEM. It is versatile. It has a V-shaped sig that has been flattened out a bit, allowing it to handle anything thrown at it with aplomb.
It truly is amazing considering the price-point, and sometimes makes you forget that it only costs ~3K.
