Avantree HT5009 Wireless

The Avantree HT5009 aren't intended for neutral sound, and you're going to be very disappointed if you're looking for balance. A lot of their sound profile is overemphasized, so mixes have intense thump, punch, and boom. Vocals and instruments are also harsh, while sibilants like cymbals are piercing. There's a massive dip in their low-mids too. While this is meant to help reduce bass bloat, it also thins out and nudges vocals and lead instruments to the back of the mix. Unfortunately, there's static present in our unit, and they have some issues localizing sound effects correctly.
