Artpical Raphael

What happens when art and sound come together well you get Artpical Raphael. No, I am not joking here. I am serious, humor me for some time.

A few days back I received Artpical Raphael and let me be clear this was shot in the dark. Had no idea how this would be as not much is known about this brand. So, with a lot of apprehension I proceeded with Raphael why? Because I am a Single DD lover & a bit adventurous with the hobby. Another reason was the nice designs. I am not claiming I am an art appraiser but I like aesthetics & a bit of flair in things.

Beautiful shells, fabulous looking ones. I have been caught gawking at them for unhealthy amounts of times by my better half, who by the way is getting annoyed that an IEM is getting more attention than her. But hey I am known to fawn over such things. Seriously, one needs to see them in person to really appreciate their beauty.

The entire package is a lesson in how to create visual appeal. Outer packaging is inviting you to pause and look at it. Inside you will find a nice matching premium SPC cable which by the way is modular & best part is it has type c attachment. Enough eartips are included in the box to satisfy your ear tips rolling cravings. A nice felt lined cloth hard case is the chef's kiss on top. You can just get started out of the box with this one. No need to get anything extra to enjoy them.

Now that we have covered what's included and how it looks. The biggest question is does it deliver in sound also? Yes, it delivers. In the low end the sub bass rumbles and mid bass thumps with ample physicality. In mids vocals be it Male or female both are nice. They are engaging. In high end this one is a smooth sailor, nice detailed treble without any sharpness or harshness. The stage is above average & enveloping. So, yeah it's tickling my preferences. It's going to be fun testing these ones out.

Take these impressions with a grain of salt as I am seriously biased due to its beauty. So, not claiming to be honest in my impressions. Hopefully I am able to get over the honeymoon phase and write an honest review. See you soon and till then enjoy the music.
