TL:DR 41t is an insane value and a hard rec from me. Doesn’t really remind me of U4s. It’s special sauce is in layering and imaging in a 3-D EJ07 way without the midbass dip. I’d take 41t over U4s or EN07 in my current lineup anyday.
First I want to thank @GooberBM for allowing the opportunity to graph and demo a handful of sets. From the EA500, EN1000, Aurora and Rosefinch. With the final set being the Grand Slam and killer take away the Juzear 41t.
All sets were demo’d for at least 30-60 and then graphed. None of them were particularly offensive and had some pleasurable qualities especially considering their respective price ranges. The problem came when I demo’d and graphed the final set the 41t. Every other one simply was forgotten about which I’ll touch on further down.
I had been asked by @GooberBM how it compared to the U4s as there’s some similarities in graphing of them. Spend a good hour going back and forth on the two. To my ear and opinion the graph is where it stops outside of a similar tonality.
U4s does show more technicality as a whole and I’d hope to expect that from a kilobuck IEM vs a sub $200 set. Though the 41t is damn impressive for its price and by no means is no slouch. If asking nearly $1k more for the small incremental in technicality is what it cost the U4s would leave you disappointed.
Bass presentation between the two is mostly for me a matter of BA vs DD bass. There was a sense of more subbass on the 41t as seen in the chart. It felt more authoritative from the DD and hit deeper but with a slower decay. The U4s had faster decay and felt less congested on faster busier tracks as displayed in a lot of metal.
Treble was well presented on both. I’m not much into breaking down treble it’s either just a hit or miss. Just looking for over aggressive guitar or to much bite in it. Primarily if it’s fatiguing or has any awkward peeks that are overly noticeable on listen. Both sets passed with approval and could easily be listened to at moderate to lightly higher volumes.
Here’s where I mentioned in the first paragraph why the others weren’t touch afterwards trying 41t. This is what makes this set a stand out and it’s special sauce. It’s easier to qoute an exchange between @GooberBM and I in a chat group.
Which was followed up by this:
If you stuck around to read my ramblings it’s much appreciated. The 41t really left me floored and is a small train with muscle pulling the big boys and grinning at them in price brackets way above it. In the end by the time it was sent forward to @rattlingblanketwoman I spend hours on it. It’s an IEM that will definitely be bought in the near future. My hope is others find the same joy and special sauce in it that I did.
