It has less shell depth which I think is a contributing factor to it having the best fit. They fit me quite comfortably but RSV is the snuggest of all for me, out of the Softears lineup. Both RS10 and Cerberus’ shells are on the large side but have a nice semi-custom design. Fit and Comfort.įor reference, I have medium-large sized ears. The case is quite roomy on the inside and comfortably fits the IEMs with the cable. RS10’s case is black while Cerberus’ is green. So, if that’s the reference of comparison, this cable is definitely not a problem!Ĭase – RS10 and Cerberus comes with a very nice hockey puck style leather case.

But then you also have brands like 64 Audio whose IEMs come with an even cheaper and much worse looking cable. Most brands these days try to include a nice, premium, known brand’s cable with their IEMs above $1500, so Softears should definitely offer a more premium cable with their $2000 IEMs. In fact, I like $730 RSV’s cable more than this one. It’s basically the same cable that comes with $500 BGVP NE5. It has a clear sleeve, is soft and supple with minimal microphonics but is definitely not up to the standards of RS10 and Cerberus’ premium $2k pricing.

Thanks to the clear shells, you can see all the drivers and immense amount of tech on the inside.

The clear shells are ultra clear and are finished perfectly without any bubbles, smudges or any imperfections.

It has clear shells with parallel white stripes and brand name ‘Softears on the faceplate and 2-pin sockets for the detachable cable. RS10 is made with medical grade resin but its build, design, fit and finish are executed to very high standards.

The product was provided to me free of charge for the review in exchange for my honest opinion. Links – Softears (Official Website) | Softears AliExpress Store | MusicTeck (Softears’ US Distributor) Today we’re checking out Softears RS10 and Cerberus. We previously reviewed their 5BA reference IEM – Softears RSV. If you haven’t noticed, Moondrop’s IEMs like Blessing2 and S8 use Softears developed drivers for the reference quality midrange they are particularly known for. Moondrop’s founder, Herbert invested in him to create a no boundaries, no budget restrictions R&D brand, Softears, to see what could be achieved if money was no object. As per what I’m told, Softears’ CEO is actually an automobile engineer by education who joined Moondrop after completing his studies. Softears is closely associated with the highly popular Chinese company – Moondrop, as they share a lot of R&D and manufacturing assets while remaining sister companies that run their business independent of each other. Cerberus – A bit too warm a tuning as 5k-15kHz treble region needs more gain to achieve a good balance, big shells maybe troublesome for small ears, only 1 set of SML stock tips needs more variety in stock ear tips. Cerberus – Excellent craftsmanship, build and finish, very nice linear bass shelf, sub-bass rumble, nice natural sounding midrange with 8dB pinna gain, clean centre image, good separation for a warm tuning.ĬONS: RS10 – Not the biggest soundstage in the price segment, big shells maybe be troublesome for small ears, only 1 set of SML stock tips needs more variety in stock ear tips. PROS: RS10 – Excellent craftsmanship, build and finish, very well tuned reference IEM, very good tonality and timbre, good bass performance, forward upper-midrange with 10dB pinna gain, neutral treble presentation, good resolution and separation, noise isolation.
