- Natural midrange
- Smooth yet still engaging vocal

Bass:
With an isobaric 2DD configuration, the bass is big, bold and fun while still being technical. The subbass reachs deep, but the focus shifted more towards the midbass due to how hard slamming and punchy it is. Each bass notes are quite decently well seperated. It’s highly detailed with good texture and sense of reverb to it.
Using “Trentemoller” by Chameleon and “Why So Serious” as my bass testing tracks, the bass has great texture with a lot of air movement to it. They do not felt sluggish whatsoever.
Turning up to the bass instruments, using “The Rising Fighting Spirit” track from Naruto OST, the drums sound fast and cleanly separated. Even with so many other elements like the guitar rift, the flut, hihats, i can still easily perceive each hit of the drums. I’d have wish for the drum to be a bit boomier with more lingering decay, but this is just a nitpick on my part.
All in all, the bass of the Doscinco is very engaging and satisfying
Mid:
Even if there’s a big amount of bass, there’s a surprisingly low amount of bleed. The midrange still sound clean with decent warmth and coloration to it. Even with the bombastic bass shelf, vocals don’t get drown out much (either that or i’m too used to bass boosted signature). Male and female vocal doesn’t sound thin. They all sounds smooth with minimal BA timbre, which result in a very little metallic midrange.
Male vocal like Frank Sinatra still have that classic lush, dense signature to him. Female vocals like Adele and Celine Dion sounds natural with just enough energy up top and not to sound too shouty, although with some other vocals, they can sound a bit huskier. Soprano also sounds smooth and decently emphasized to the rest of the instruments in the orchestra tracks
Piano and violin also sounds natural with more than sufficient noteweight to it. The notes, the vibrancy of each bow strokes are beautifully captured with the Doscinco.
Treble:
The treble overall sounds smooth and relax. It's smooth, but also have sufficient bite to it. It’s well extended, just not the airiest or sparkliest, not dark nor bright. The treble serves more as a complimentary component to a sighly boosted bass. There's also very little sense of sibilant in the treble region, so thumbs up for that.
Using “Caravan” by John Wasson as my test tracks, cymbal strikes and hi hats sound very smooth, has sufficient attack and decay to it without sounded too overbearing. Percussions instruments sound natural as a whole.
