It’s nice that you’re addressing me about the Dorado 
.
It may be that I am addressing a delicate controversy with this post,
but these are just my experiences and insights that I have gathered over the past few years.
I read reviews from the two leading in-ear reviewers Crinacle & Precog a while back and noticed their relatively poor opinion of these earphones.
Now it is clear to me that every person can perceive sounds differently due to the individual shape of the auditory canal.
But there is actually another aspect to this!
Through my professional and private contacts, I spent a lot of time in Asia, especially Japan, and found that their tonal preferences differ significantly from those of a Central European.
Namely because they prefer a significantly brighter, much less bass-supported and in the lower middle frequency ranges tonal interpretations that are just as slightly withdrawn.
This makes most Asian in-ear models sound very analytical and “open” and fascinating at first, but for longer listening sessions I personally can’t really get anything out of it, on the contrary it rather bothers me.
I always find it interesting to read that makes me call it “neutral”, I would often call it “shrill” or “boring”.
For me, music has a lot to do with emotions and passion, which is composed and performed to create or live out corresponding feelings, and not to dissect the artist’s work.
Or have any of you ever spent your first date with a candlelit dinner in a neon-lit operating room and been able to develop romantic feelings?
This is exactly where the Dorado comes in for me,
it sounds extremely “right” to my ears, it has a very solid, precise bass foundation on which the entire sound is built.
The voices are where they belong, namely always slightly in the foreground of the band, both voices and instruments are clearly perceptible separately from each other on a very neatly staggered imaging of a “realistic” stage.
It should also be noted that the symbiosis with the music is very interesting with these earphones, it is one of the few earphones I know that are able to present calm, relaxed compositions just as relaxed as they have the agility in the next moment , to emphasize dynamic music elements just as precisely.
An ability that the significantly more expensive Solaris, for example, does not have in this form, as it is permanently more energetic.
Coupled with the fact that the Dorado is extremely comfortable to wear, this earphone gets the very best ratings from me.
As a very high-quality everyday in-ear, this Dorado is my first choice for being able to “enjoy” music across genres.
For analytical listening sessions, or genre-specific listening pleasure, there are certainly others that will meet these demands.
