So how does it fit? Well fit and comfort are highly personal issues. What do I mean? Well The Cl750 are of medium weight and are actually lighter than the more expensive earphones of the company. But the nozzle that enters your ear canal is relatively long creating a strange and somewhat inconvenient feeling in long-term. Get ready for some deep insertion... (Don't search that on google please... You ll find weird things.) </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Fortunately there is a great variety of eartips for every taste and for every ear so that you can find the one that suits you the best and keep the Cl750 in place. Personally I prefer the large double flange that give me the best and most stable seal.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">As far as the isolation goes typical external noises will not be heard when you are listening to your music BUT this may not be absolute for special cases such as using the earphones in an aeroplane where the noises are very strong. As you have guessed the isolation is adequeate but it is not meant for extreme situations where active noise cancelling is needed. This is also part due to the vented design of the Cl750s. You can clearly see that there is a hole in the body that works as a vent I guess for tuning purposes. </span></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><u><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px">Amping/Matching</span></strong></span></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Well if you were going to buy these earphones just to plug them into your mobile phone then forget it. The Cl750 have a high impedance of 150 ohms something which simply means that you absolutely need a headphone amplifier. And not only that but it is the character of these earphones such that requires a very good source at the same time. RHA sells them as a bundle with the portable dac/amp L1 and for such use they are made for. Personally I find the decision to make an iem of this price range that hard to drive a little odd because lets face it. How many people that are looking for an iem at around the 100 euros price range have(or want to spend and buy) dac/amps that are good enough to drive them... Those people want to buy the earphones, plug them to their source (a phone or a cheap dap etc) and be done with it. On the other hand the 150 ohms impedance makes them a good match for otl amps (those amps struggle with low impedance earphones). So if you do need an iem to match with your otl amp or if you do have a good amp to pair with then no problem. If you don't then stop reading and go away! ...Just kidding! I know you recognise all the effort I went though and want to stay. Great! So lets see how these little steel diamonds sound.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"><u><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Bass</span></u></span><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><strong><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"></span></strong><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-size: 12px">Starting with the bass.

Some people may not like that (purists for example) and at the same time there will be some people that would like more (bassheads for example) . It higly depends on taste and of course on the seal that you get.Technically the sub-bass extension is good for the price. For those who don't know sub-bass consists of the very low frequencies from 80hz and below. In simple words those are the frequencies that cause the vibrations in your skull. You feel them more than you hear them... And not a lot of headphones can produce them properly. Moving on to the mid-bass this is where I would say the main accentuation happens and it is the part that gives volume and heft in your bass. Overall we are OK here for most people.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"><u>Mids</u></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><span style="font-size: 12px">After the slightly bumped mid-bass there is decline to the low mids. As a result the mids sound somewhat recessed and dry by lacking body. Yes they are detailed and crisp but may not be very pleasant for some people as they can sound thin. For example male voices don't have that full and lush sound that you expect, guitars may sound too bright and thin lacking the fundamentals that give volume and punch to the their sound.Things could be better tuned here...</span></span></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><u>Highs</u></span></span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"></span></span></strong><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Ina few words a double edged sword.... On one hand the treble extension is pretty good giving solid detail to the sound, on the other hand,there is a clear emphasis volumewise. Actually this emphasis might even be liked by trebleheads but the problem is that it is accompanied by large peaks in certain frequencies. Simply put some individual frequencies are highly accentuated by a lot of db making the treble sound... How do you want to call it?Unnatural? Metallic?Sibilant? Grainy? Well I call it fatiguing. That sums it up and it takes away from what otherwise could be a very capable treble presentation</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"></span><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong><u><span style="font-size: 15px">Neutrality/Balance</span></u></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">As you have propably understood these are not a flat earphones. Neither are they muffled basshead earphones.They are kind of bright sounding with a dose of mid-bass hump for pleasure but again with a dry analytical character.

Overall the sound can be kind of aggressive (the opposite of smooth) and the lack of mids stimulation can make you want to raise the volume to listen to those vocals that you love in your music. But you won't...</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong><u>Soundstage</u></strong></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><strong></strong></span></span><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">The soundstage size is similar to the other two RHA earphones I have tried the T20 and the CL1. Size is OK. You will not be impressed but you won't be disappointed either. Iems with great soundstage size are rare in this price point anyways. Instrument separation is a little worse than its older and more expensive brothers but it is solid for the price in my opinion. Overall average soundstage performance at best. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><strong><span style="font-size: 15px"><u><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Detail</span></u></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit"><span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'">Detail and clarity are good for the price and hold up very well compared to the much more expensive Cl1.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><u></u></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><u>Conclusion</u></span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'century gothic'"><span style="font-size: 12px">I liked what the CL750 can do technically for the price, but their sound signature is somewhat fatiguing and in my opinion unpopular.
