Build Quality
Fit
Tonality
Bass
- Lightweight.
- Plasticky body.
- Slightly larger shell.
Fit
- Nozzle is a little on the narrower side.
- The slightly large form factor of the IEM is kind of getting in the way, but I would still consider this as comfortable after getting used to it.
- The stiff ear hooks from the cable causes a little pain after long hours of listening, as there is a slight force clamping on my ears, not sure if this problem will still persists in the future. But as the time of writing, I still face this problem but it is not as bad as when I first tried, hopefully this won't be a huge issue as time goes on.
Tonality
- Neutral with a slight bass boost.
- Quite balanced between sub bass and mid bass, only slight emphasis on mid bass
- The bass is snappy, well controlled, very well textured and defined.
- However, it does lack a little bit of depth, but impact and slam is still fairly decent.
- I think it compliments the rest of the tuning very well, considering that this is a midrange focused set.
Midrange
- Very natural and beautiful midrange, with a hint of warmth.
- Vocals, especially female vocals, truly come alive and become the absolute star of the show, with a forward and lively presentation. Also sound very smooth, sweet and emotional while not being aggressive in any way. Even the last bit of breath and extension can be heard clearly.
- However, male vocals may sound a little thin and lean, and a step behind female vocals, but still come across as decently natural overall.
Treble
Treble is overall very smooth and not fatiguing but not airy as well.
Decent mid and lower treble energy which extends the energy from upper midrange really well. Therefore, it still has a fair bit of sparkle in the lower and mid treble region.
There were also minimal harshness and peaks even when I tried with sibilant tracks.
Details on the treble are decent but not outstanding in any way.
Technicalities
Detail Retrieval
- Resolution is good but not outstanding by any means. However, it is still perfectly acceptable and reasonable, as the detail retrieval of the Galileo is definitely not bad at all.
- Soundstage is average, depth and width are okay-ish, doesn't feel too compressed but isn't too spacious as well.
- Imaging and accuracy is decent, I am still able to tell where the instruments and vocals come from,
- Gaming:
- Apex Legends: Sound of footsteps and gunfire can be pinpointed. I am able to judge them in terms of distance and direction roughly but not exactly.
- Separation and layering is good.
- Vocals really popped out but layering between instruments are not as well separated.
- Runs most of my busy tracks fine, but sounds congested occasionally.
Conclusion
- Even at this really competitive price bracket, the Galileo still shines and is very worth due to its very well done midrange & vocal centric tonality.
- However, it is not very well rounded, specifically for busier genres like rock and pop sounds a little unsatisfying. But for slow and vocal focused, female vocals especially, sounds heavenly.
- Overall, great purchase if you are looking for a set that is specialized for vocals and neutral.
- But try to keep in mind that it may not be the best if you are looking for something very fun, exciting and engaging.
Thanks for reading!
