Pros: A broadly balanced tuning with a preference score of 70 against the Harman target.

Is the Brise Audio FUGAKU right for you?

  • you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 2.9 dB below target).
  • you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
  • you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 17 points.

Skip it if

Frequency Response

How the Brise Audio FUGAKU measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 5 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
