TForce Audio Yuan Li: Final retail set impressions.

I just received the Final tuning version of TForce Yuan Li. Here are some of my observations on revisions on the tuning of the Final and its difference to the Alpha version.

  The Yuan Li (Final tuning) is still on the "balanced-neutral" side on tonality for being it is minimal boosted on bass, more linear and neutral mids and some emphasis on treble.

The unboxing experience on Tforce Yuan Li  is somehow gives you some sense of premium and luxurious ambience as how it present and defines its product as a high quality one. The box sleeve has a this black, gold and some red colour accent with an eastern dragon with clouds design in gold tinge on the left side while on the right side has this more darker inky black calligraphy, a red Yuan Li with square border print and some infos and designs in gold and red as these choices of colours were historically known to be Tang dynasty's shade aesthetics. The box itself is in black colour and has this kind of door-like opening magnetic latch. The contents are the IEMs, a gorgeous looking faux-crocodile skin leather case, a pair of black memory foam ear tips.a three (3) pairs of wide bore tips white tips of different sizes , another three (3) pairs of narrow bore eartips of different sizes too and a premium golden brown 2-core 6N litz cable (I'll be using a medium size,  black narrow bore ear tips in this review.) And some paperworks like warranty cards, a high quality paper for display and ad infos cards.

LOWS/BASS:

The bass quality of Yuan Li (Final) is more tighter than the alpha version. The sub bass is still present as it has that grumbling sound but the transiences and decay of bass speed is quite fast and rolls off promptly. The midbass quantity is noticeably deducted yet it was still on the well-textured side on the weight note. Bass kicks still retains some its dynamic,  thumpy impactfulness and pounding and Bass guitars sounds consistently on sustaining roar and growl nature.

MIDS:

The mids of Yuan Li final are smoother, well-defined textured and natural. It still retains its translucency. They are actually one of the best rendered vocal reproduction on a single DDs in under $200 range. The male and female vocals sounds even more consistent and in coherent nature as both reach the ideal vocal ranges on their perspective aspects. The male vocals has this sonorous  emotion as you will feel its fullness while female vocals in any style of singing is crisp and well-defined on its clarity. Some instruments are sounds even organic and even more pleasing as feel the plucking of each chord of a guitar string, the sweetness and somehow in a little bit round of mellowness of a piano tone, the vibrant and lustrous sound of violin and the brazeness sound of a wind instrument like trumpet and saxophone. Such timbre quality of each vocals and instruments are definitely differentiated and precise on each attribute.

HIGHS/TREBLE:

The difference between the Alpha version and Final version is that the uppermids is somehow less peaky and more smoother as it delivers a more pleasant and relaxing listening pleasure. The smoothen uppermids does not mean that it is either subdued or veiled but you instantly au courant its less shimmer and sparkle quantity for the better well-balanced and articulate tonality to overall frequency spectrum. The sibilance of this set is non-existent one. The airiness of its presence treble region still on an average range which means a on a bit on roll-off side as I notice the cymbals strike and crashes are less sizzled and glistening in my treblehead rating.

Soundstage and Imaging dimensions are still indistinguishable in my sense in determining its spatial cues and size.
