When HiFiGo got in touch about the SeeAudio Bravery, they made no qualms about how impressed they were with it. For a retailer to say as much is quite intriguing. They of course want to see good sales, but saying as much about a specific unit while having experienced more than many others is a strong recommendation. Knowing it was a 4-BA, all-BA set of IEMs was all the more interesting to me, with my previous all-BA experience in the form of
the Etymotic EVO very impressive as well. The SeeAudio Bravery is impressive too, although more in some ways than others because it is not attempting a flat, accurate tuning.
Nay, SeeAudio was bold in aiming to address the typical complaints of anemic bass and poor timbre associated with all-BA IEMs. I'd say brave, but it's too easy a pun, and I am somewhat conflicted about that statement, too. Yes, the company has good tuning and a set that is one of the more appealing to different genres outside of very thumping EDM and house music. At the same time, many nuances are missed on the technical side to where I agree
with another who mentioned this is more of a safe play by SeeAudio. There are many who will talk about the strong points with the "especially for an all-BA set" card I am guilty of, but the end user should not care about the driver configuration as much as the ultimate result.
This is where things get tougher, especially at the going price of ~$250–280 where you have a lot of competition. I am new to the IEM world still, and my points of reference are thus smaller in number than many. However, even now, I can see some strong competition that does better at more specific things, including music genres you may favor where the SeeAudio Bravery may be found somewhat wanting. It's for the overall package SeeAudio merits a recommendation, with the excellent ear tips and good cable helping tip things favorably, along with the tuning I am happy to say will work for many folks here and elsewhere.
