The Softears RS10 comes in a sleek, minimalist black box that reflects its professional, studio-oriented nature. Inside, you'll find a premium round leather carrying case with clean white stitching and subtle Softears branding. The monitors themselves are neatly protected in cloth pouches, already connected to the cable and secured with velcro ties. Also included are a microfiber cloth, three sizes of silicone eartips, a user manual, and a warranty card — everything you need, presented with understated elegance.
But the real story begins once you hit play. The RS10 delivers a highly refined and neutral sound signature, crafted for critical listening and studio reference use. Detail retrieval is outstanding, with pinpoint imaging and a clean, balanced tonality from top to bottom. The bass is tight and controlled, mids are exceptionally transparent, and the treble is extended without being fatiguing. Whether you're a professional or a serious enthusiast, the RS10 offers a precise and revealing window into your music — without sacrificing musicality.
