Clean sound

My first IEM and its great, I love it, it's awesome

I’ll be honest — I bought the Kefine Loric Type-C for my S23 Ultra without really knowing what to expect. This is my first IEM, and I’m definitely not an audiophile or someone who understands all the technical stuff.

I just wanted something that would make my music sound better.

The first impression was good. The triangular design fits surprisingly well, it’s lightweight, and the silver finish looks premium. I mostly use it while travelling, at home and sometimes while watching movies.

Then I started playing my usual songs.

That’s when things got interesting.

I use Apple Music Lossless, and with the Loric, I started hearing little things in songs that I’d listened to countless times before. A guitar here, some background instruments there — things I simply never noticed properly with my TWS or neckband.

And once you start noticing these little details, you naturally start going back to your favourite songs just to hear what you might have missed.

The bass is another thing I really like. It has a good punch and depth, but thankfully it’s not the BOOM BOOM type. 😄 It stays in the background when it needs to and doesn’t spoil the vocals or instruments. Even around 40% volume is more than enough for me, and surprisingly, the bass still feels satisfying at lower volumes.

Vocals are clear and natural, instruments are nicely separated, and the treble has enough crispness without becoming sharp or irritating.

I’ve thrown almost everything at it — Arijit Singh, KK, Shreya Ghoshal, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Himesh Reshammiya, Enrique Iglesias, Sean Paul, Alan Walker, Coldplay, Daddy Yankee, Punjabi songs, 90s tracks and even a little classical.

And that’s where I realised I was enjoying the music itself, not just the sound.

Before the Loric, I was using the Oppo Enco Air 3 Pro, Realme Buds Air 5 Pro, Realme Wireless 5 ANC and Boat Nirvana TWS. All of them have their strengths, but the Loric gave me a different kind of listening experience.

I honestly thought I’d miss ANC or spatial audio......I don’t.

The fit gives me enough isolation, and once the music starts, I’m not really thinking about the features anymore.

It’s also comfortable enough for long sessions. No ear pain or fatigue for me. The mic has been surprisingly good too, and for calls, 10–20% volume is usually more than enough.

What I like most about the Loric is that it doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard. The bass doesn’t dominate, the treble doesn’t attack, and the vocals don’t get lost.

Put on something soft, and it feels relaxed and laid-back.

Put on a good dance track, and suddenly there’s a little party happening in your head. 😄

I bought my first IEM just to see what the fuss was about.

Now I’m wondering why I waited this long.

Incredible buy for the starters. First time IEM user I am impressed it is not as per everyone's taste it's specifically for the new I am users but those who have we read taste are you listening to different genres of course it has a good treble but as far as the negativity around it is concerned I don't think it's good for everyone but also in suitable tracks the trouble is punchy and would give an impress a touch to the listening experience the sound stage for music listeners is incredible the vocals are clear the subways is not what everyone wants but is what you require to listen pop or jazz or soundtracks. The basic tracks might not feel rumbing but would give an punchy experience. Not for the listeners who want to be engulfed and getting things overshadowed in music but want to feel the music from every angle.

Con- few selected calm and silent tracks might gives some distortions

This IEM has incredible sound clarity. I just love it

This dac is very nicely enhancing music quality and adding connectivity with multiple devices

Quality of earphones and the delivery were both top notch
