Review Geekfly L6 TWS

Testing my Geekfly L6 tws last few days they have blown my mind and audio performance wise they surpassed my expectations how good bluetooth wireless audio can be when done right. Immediate bullet points positives would be immersive, smooth musical sound signature, precision and details in the retrieval, expansive, three-dimensional soundstage, finesse and realism of the sound reproduction, stable solid connectivity even at distances from the source, natural anc with deep insertion and they stay put once inserted and seated with the right tips, plenty high quality codecs available hi res connectivity, lots of accessories and tip options, beautiful large leather like box case to keep it all stashed away and together, my new end game IEMs, let see how long I can stay away 🤣😂👍. Support for these for anyone concerned about battery degradation over the 2-3 year use period, geekfly is standing behind these with a 10 year free battery replacement this is big positive that sold me. A few negatives they are chunky and thick boys but for the design and internals these have it's to be expected but at least they are lightweight 😂 the app is a work in progress and they are working on a improved, updated app to be released soon and only works on Android at the moment, iOS is coming, no multipoint pairing, no wireless. For sound, gotta give credit to the engineering for tuning these right. They aren't tuned to sound bass heavy and dark, I would call it that there's right amount bass response and it digs deep. The L6s has the sub-bass extension I like and would expect from planars, but has an extra mid-bass bump that makes the audio immersive and musical with perfect amount of slam, but the bump doesn't bleed into mids and the mids hit more neutral than forward and lush with natural pleasant timbre. The sub-bass on the L6 really something else, between the 2 piezoelectric drivers and 10mm planar drivers whether or not it's coming from the 2 piezoelectric drivers and/or the planar drivers still has to be figured out but it's not dark or a muffled sound signature. L6 uses copper gold-plated sound chamber and brass material, which can absorb the excess reflected sound waves in each unit, making the sound more clean and transparent which could also positively enhance on the 2 piezoelectric resonance bone conduction drivers but well done Geekfly. I owned the MTW4, liked those the audio tuning was a favorite of mine but flawed in many other aspects, Pi8s wasn't a fan although they were comfortable, the negatives was on the high end unfortunately the section that I think got forgotten about. Yes, it does get a lot of detail and clarity, but compared to the driving low end, it feels weak and under appreciated and the latency was another issue.

What Is It Like to Be an Audiophile?

I consider myself to be an audiophile. But what does that even mean? Does that automatically make me an elitist and intolerant consumer who laughs and ridicules every audio product that „casuals“ know? I certainly hope not. High-fidelity audio is a hobby. It is striving to reproduce music for private consumption as realistically as possible. The aim is to create a life-like experience from any medium, like a vinyl LP or downloaded digital file. There are a lot of elements involved and perfecting each one can become quite expensive. (This is a niche market, after all.) The value we receive in return is highly subjective. For us audiophiles, it’s disproportionately high. Actually, audio gear is a hobby that is no different from any other. Whether it’s practicing the piano, playing video games, or collecting rocks (“Jesus Christ, Marie! They’re minerals!”). I spare you the link to clickbait articles about „the weirdest hobbies“, but you can quickly tell that many people spend a lot on anything if they extensively deal with a subject and develop an interest. The reason why we compare audio products in such detail is the few moments we can get completely lost in the music. If the timing is right and the equipment is up to the task, we zone out. The music expands in size and surrounds us, completely trapping us in a different world. I am sure everyone has experienced this before. But the audiophile, he is chasing this moment day after day. And when he has it, he loses it again, eventually. The search continues and better equipment makes it easier to find that temporary satisfaction. That perfect synergy of mood, music, and audio pairing. It’s what we often refer to as „eargasm“ – that should give an idea about the extent of the thrill. The sickness to keep investing in more expensive gear is called „upgradetitis“. Once diagnosed, you are usually welcomed in the community with the phrase: „sorry about your wallet.“ Often, this interest in sonic qualities is accompanied by a general interest in technology and also aesthetic product design. Watches, cars, and cameras are other hobbies that many community members share. So this does not mean that audiophiles cannot appreciate a more consumer-oriented product, like the Bose ANC headphones or Apple wireless earphones. These are just usually not taken as seriously for listening to music the way I described earlier. But that is okay and they are still suited for playing music. This is just a very short article justifying why I have a weird hobby. If I made anyone understand a bit better, you’re welcome. And thank you for reading!
