If you listen to music that's supposed to really H-I-T, this is the one for you.
After my first pair, the Oriveti OD200 (which I loved!), I grabbed the Martilo as my second set, and wow, I finally get what people mean by basshead. Guys, these are unreal. If you listen to music that's supposed to really H-I-T, this is the one for you.
Sound Breakdown
The Bass is the star: It literally shakes my eardrums. We're talking deep, physical sub-bass rumble, not the muddy, boomy kind. It feels like having a huge subwoofer in your head. It hits hard but stays clean and super fast, which is critical.
Mids are surprisingly clear: I was worried the bass would swallow up the vocals (Mids), but they stay right up front. My favorite singers sound crisp! You get great separation, letting you pick out instruments even when the bass is going crazy.
Treble is sparkly and quick: I think the planar driver is what makes the high notes (Treble) sound so detailed. It adds enough "air" to the sound and keeps the whole picture from feeling dark.
The design is awesome, they look like cracked lava rock, and they are pretty comfortable even though they look a bit chunky.
Only 1 downside for me was the eartips, it could be more comfortable given the price tag of this IEMs. I'm using stock eartips of my another IEMs (Oriveti OD 200) which is surprisingly comfortable.
Final Takeaway
If you are moving up from entry-level and want to know what truly clean, hard-hitting bass sounds like, get these. It’s an easy, near-endgame fun set for people who love bass-heavy genres like EDM and Hip-Hop. Go listen to them!
