I do use the smallest tips, and it has taken some time to adjust. The starfields, although being heavier than expected, still fit in my ears very well. Although the bass doesn’t always give the grunt needed to feel the song, the mid-range and treble is controlled, delicate and represented so well, therefore making songs sound so natural, which is an absolute joy to listen to. Overall, the Starfields represent a very enjoyable sound. Listening to “Take Five” By Dave Brubeck's String Quartet, which is a relatively busy song, every instrument was easily recognisable and had its stage to perform, there was no competition in each instrument, it all works together, in really good harmony, without any instrument being more profound than the other. Regardless of how busy the song is, I have found the separation of the Starfield’s to be very good. Listening to Cymande’s “Dove” the güiro is very faint and very distant from the centre of the action, whilst still being present enough to be heard, resulting in an increase of depth to the music. An example of this is each instrument has its own space, allowing them to feel as the mastered track it is, making it clear that each instrument is in different places. There is a lot of height and depth presence which makes the Starfield’s very immersive. The soundstage of the Starfields is excellent. Additionally due to the treble reproduction, as it is decently precise and detailed, I am noticing new elements in the song I never heard before, such as the natural sounds of chord changes in Dire Straits “The Man’s Too Strong”, they are subtle but so effective into the overall presentation of the song. The aggression and energy the Starfields deliver is exactly the way she intended to deliver her vocals, yet they weren’t piercing in the slightest. With my experience, Sia’s “Chandelier (piano version)” was an absolute joy to listen to, finally. The Starfields treble has been rolled off, which reduces fatigue. While the midrange takes a back seat, it is by no means bad at all, in fact, it allows the vocals and instruments to sound delicate and natural, resulting in a experience of music that I have never heard before, leaving me completely mesmerised. String plucks in Sting's "Shape of my heart" were executed flawlessly to complement his vocals without pushing them back. In the same manner that vocals are well defined, instruments are also very well defined, especially guitars. Fleetwood Mac’s “Never Going Back Again” had beautiful vocals that were so well defined. The mid-range is exceptionally well-tuned, because it's kept clean and leaves a lot of room for the lower and upper-midrange, allowing vocals to be brought to life.
The midrange is where the Starfields shine. I don't feel like the bass is jumpy and energetic like it could be, and it just leaves me wanting more. This is evident in "The Pretender" by Foo Fighters, as even though the guitars and singing were fast and came with great attack, the kick and toms did not have the same level of performance. Furthermore, it seems that the bass isn't pushing the track along at the same pace as the rest of it. The kick in Frank Ocean's "Lost" lacks grunt, it's more like a hollow thump without the density a kick should have.

The bass line in Mac Miller’s “Circles” is so gentle, and doesn’t slam it in your face, which I am grateful for, as the overall song has a very slow tempo. It is neither aggressive nor energetic, nor the opposite it finds itself in a decent spot.
Nevertheless, the bass response remains very smooth. Starfield does not excel at bass response. As a result, this gives Starfield’s representation a really enjoyable, and very dynamic listening experience. Compared to a “flat” tuning, this particular tuning has more elevation in the bass range and treble. The Starfields are tuned to a “Harman curve”, or “Harman target”.
Although I am quite late to the release of the Starfield’s, I am glad I still decided to purchase them, because wow, these are worth the purchase.
