Sound Analysis

Lows

The Yincrow X6 extends deeply in the sub-bass department with an average rumble. I find the quantity to be above average. Each bass note is being presented with authority and bass texture is rendered smoothly. The mid-bass has a nice slam to it and this helps to improve the overall dynamics of it. The bass is articulate with great extension and has a good amount of quantity. I feel the bass is the star of the show.

Mids

The midrange on the Yincrow X6 is quite clean and detailed. The lower mids has enough body and I feel it is sufficient. The upper mids is not very forward. It makes the overall midrange rather laidback. Despite the lack of energy, the midrange is still rather soothing to listen to. It is slightly congested but it is still rather controlled. Resolution is decent with an average layering.

Highs

The treble is being extended to a good extent with no sibilance and harshness. There is a good amount of air at the top end. However, there is no sparkle. It presentation is quite laidback and smooth with little aggression. Overall, its laidback nature is non-fatiguing for a long listening session. The definition is quite average..

Soundstage

The Yincrow X6 has a decent width and average depth in the soundstage. The expansion is just nice to prevent congestion of the track. The depth is not very close and there is space. Vocals and instruments positioning is decent.
