this video is brought to you by NCI XCOM great technology selection and service hello everyone i'm dmitri with hardware canucks and this is a pair of rocked your alpha genus there's a trend emerging and within ear headphones to feature interchangeable sound filters so users can tune in they're more preferred sound signature a pair of these will cost you a slight dip in the budget under $100 and can be found for as little as thirty dollars on amazon which is a total steal the packaging is a bit dull and even til you get a velvet pouch when would you actually never use it i can't suggest to rock joe one thing and that is to have the actual solid plate to mount the sound filters as otherwise they're kind of difficult to remove from the dense foam and i would like to see a better solution something similar to the mounting plate on the RHA headphones the Alpha genus are an attractive pair with a wood casing for the main frame so expect some variance from model to model and this is solid proof that wood headphones don't have to cost a fortune there's an aluminum frame on the front that holds the sound filter that seems to expand all the way to the rear of the frame and there's another aluminium piece to hold the cable at the bottom and the cable I really like it's thin and light plus has this interesting shine and texture to it the 90-degree connector is low profile it's not exactly tangle free just because the cable is so thin but that comes with a shirt clip that I start using immediately as this is not an over the ear headphone and regardless of how careful you are there will always be tension and pull on the cable and with the clip you can offset some of the cable so it doesn't weigh down I'm a bit disappointed a full inline remote is not available we have only a single click to change tracks play pause and answer phone call but volume adjust is not present there is a microphone on here too and sorry to say but the cable noise is really evident any contact the cable makes with your shirt as you walk can be heard inside the earpieces speaking of which the ear tip selection is very limited to only this one kind that I tried to avoid but to my surprise found the smallest tip fit me perfectly and now on to the sound filters first I'm really happy to see the sound customization available on the pair below $100 you have a black reference filter that is more of a bass heavy filter there's the gold neutral one and a silver treble filter sound signature is changed depending on the thickness of the foam inside the filter and I prefer the gold filter for my style of listening now to the sound experience and man was I satisfied there's a clear base presence and the ear tips helped to translate that into appropriate hits but without booming the sound and not significantly leaking over the mid-range the vocalists are not too far out but helped to create a sense of space and a sound signature I like the feeling of a soundstage being present and the Alpha genius thankfully does not cram the sound there's a clear separation between elements and that's awesome to hear and actually in comparison to my RH 80 10 I that is a $200 pair I actually preferred the sound signature of the Alpha genus for vocal heavy genres the mid-range is beautifully presented the treble is Chris put emphasize detail and overall it's a really fun headphone and the Hydra canucks recommended and it's damn good you
