SONGFUL T3
ø10mm Dynamic Driver
The SONGFUL are simple earphones, yet they caught my interest thanks to their budget-friendly price. I was expecting simple yet balanced sound signature like that of Remax RM-610D. Unfortunately, the sound is bloated with uncontrolled mid-bass and unstable sub-bass, while the mids are lacking anything that would catch my attention. The highs are very veiled and unremarkable.
The included branded carrying case is very useful, but other than that - these earphones are not worth looking much into.
NOTE: I've mostly seen these earphones selling with a retail box and without a carrying case, so take that into account if you choose to buy these, for some reason.
Pros
- Quite comfortable, thanks to their angled shape and simple and effective design.
- The included carrying case is unique and slim, and a great addition considering the overall price.
Cons
- Overwhelming bass response. Very muddy and unstable bass response. Can cause a headache after a while.
- Unimpressive mids and highs. Typical V-shaped sound signature, devoid of any creativity.
- Annoyingly springy and curved cable.
- Inconsistent presentation (retail package vs. branded carrying case).

These share a design pattern with many other super-comfortable earphones. Without any gimmicks or weird design choices, these earphones fit in perfectly and stay in there firmly. No complains here. However, I will drop a few points for having oval-shaped nozzles - that made fitting more problematic with the pre-applied tips and I had to switch to the L-size tips.
Although extremely responsive and deep, the lows are dirty and overblown, so powerful that could cause a headache after listening to bassy tracks for a while. I usually like some beef in the lows, but this is just too much mud, even for me.
The mids are dark and sound messy. The tone is wrong and the positioning is all wrong - not properly centered and no proper stereo separation, and thet's despite the fact that the driver matching seems to be decent. The mids are significantly quieter than most budget earphones.
The highs are dark and very veiled. Even the most basic detail is hardly reproduced, if can be heard at all because of the muddy bass. Upper-highs are almost completely missing. Loudness doesn't seem to be on par with most earphones.
