Who are Senfer? Nobody really knows for sure. But what I do know is that they take their earphones seriously, and Senfer F05 proves them worthy to be among the best budget earphone brands. You get a bright, hi-fi level sound, yet the bass is present and is punchy enough to enjoy.

Comfort & Fit
The stock pre-applied tips fit perfectly. A perfect A+ seal. Even though these have 2 drivers and a metal housing, they are not that heavy and you won't get the feeling that they are going to fall out.
Lows / Bass
The bass is very precise and enjoyable, yet it needs slightly more sub-bass.
Mids / Vocals
Vocals are very clear, yet they are overpowered by loud sibilance.
Highs / Treble
The sound signature is too bright. The sibilance is loud and unpleasantly sharp. However, you can hear every hi-hat and cymbal very clearly.
