Sound quality:

We found the Sesh Evo delivers sound quality that falls in the very good range - it reproduces music and voice very well although it does have some noticeable sonic quirks. With the EQ set to Music mode the bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is somewhat prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is fairly even, but is somewhat grainy and dark (there is an opaqueness that covers up fine detail), and a bit hazy. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is fairly extended but is somewhat subdued and smeared (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer sound blurred). Somewhat closed sounding and does a decent job of recovering room ambience (the sense of the acoustic space in which the audio program that's being listened to was recorded). Warm character. The overall sound can be summarized as somewhat bassy, grainy and dark. The various EQ settings do have a noticeable effect on the sound of these earphones.

Comfort and Fit:
Ass typical of in-ear models they produce a sense of pressure in the ear canal opening that might be uncomfortable for some. Users with small ear bowls might find that the earphone body feels a bit bulky in their earbowl and while this model stays in place for casual use and feels secure it sticks out a bit and feels like it might get levered out of place. Users with medium sized ear bowls will probably find that this model fits and stays in place with no problems for casual use and that they are very stable even during vigorous head movement. Some users might find pushing the control buttons to actuate the functions drives the earphones farther into the ear bowl and may cause ear discomfort.
