#1041 Softears Turii Ti: $2,499.00 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the SoftEars Twilight, ranked higher, rated 3.8/5, released 2023. See every Soft generation.
Pros: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap.
Cons: An uneven response, 2.9 dB standard deviation from target. Discontinued.
Is the Softears Turii Ti right for you?
Buy it if
- you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 27 points.
Skip it if
- you want deep sub-bass: it falls away below about 30 Hz.
- you need isolation or will use it in public: open-back headphones leak sound both ways.
- you want to buy it new: it is discontinued.

- Reviews, Comparisons and Sound Samples
Frequency Response
How the Softears Turii Ti 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 7 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.
Measurement data: median of 7 measurements from the squig.link databases of aftersound, animagus, bukanaudiophile, eliseaudio, hbb, kazi and recode. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
