Audeze Euclid

The reviewer finds the Audeze Euclid to be a decent but flawed closed-back planar IEM. It has good technicalities and build, but the tuning is off—too shouty and bright—and the comfort and included cable are subpar. While it outperforms cheaper planars and some competitors, it doesn't stand out as a clear recommendation at its price point.

The reviewer is highly impressed with the Audeze Euclid planar magnetic earbuds, calling them the best all-around earbuds they've ever heard. They praise the natural, wide soundstage, detailed articulation, and lack of tuning flaws, though they note the high price and that it's an end-game product for experienced listeners rather than a casual recommendation.

The reviewer is impressed with the Audeze Euclid, highlighting its unique planar magnetic driver in a closed-back IEM design, which delivers exceptional resolution, imaging, and low distortion. They note that while the bass is initially light and the fit may feel awkward, the sound improves with break-in and EQ, and the build quality, accessories, and portability are strong points. Overall, they recommend it for its innovative technology and performance, especially for gaming and music.

The reviewer compares the Audeze Euclid and Sennheiser IE 900, finding the IE 900 more comfortable and better sounding overall, with a more accurate and dynamic presentation. The Euclid offers a warmer, more intimate sound with more upper-mid energy and includes extra accessories like a Bluetooth module and a durable case, but is heavier and has a more congested soundstage. The reviewer ultimately prefers the IE 900 for sound and comfort, though the Euclid is a strong alternative for those who value its features.
