Bass & Sub Bass
The MEIZU EP52 Lite bass is very energetic with an important amount of mid-bass punch and deep sound.
Their lower frequencies are able to cover nearly any music genre without falling short of neither mid-bass nor sub-bass.
These Bluetooth headphones are clearly tuned for a fun and alive sound that will help users motivate their gym and sport training sessions.
Applying an EQ, there is a crazy amount of added punch while also reveals a very deep response.

M
Mids & Vocals
The MEIZU EP52 Lite mids are very warm with noticeable mid-bass bleeding into low and mid midrange frequencies, which consequently adds some congestion to this range. On the other hand, male vocals sound alive and never distant.
Higher mids offer sufficient crispness without getting forward nor harsh.
Listeners looking for mid with a decisively warm sound and who prioritize no harshness over analytical mids, could find a nice match with the MEIZU EP52 Lite.
With an EQ, their lower mids can be cleaned up a bit by a reduction of their mid-bass bleed, still this bleeding will always be present. Higher mids can be boosted for a crisper and more alive response without getting harsh.

H
Highs & Treble
The MEIZU EP52 Lite highs provide some detail and brightness but have a darkish tint and an upper end that tends to be rolled-off.
Despite this, their tuning results in smooth highs peaks that never get piercing nor very sibilant while their overall highs are not excessively dark.
An EQ can help the MEIZU EP52 Lite to brighten up their highs and attenuate their darkish tint. At the same time, noticeable additional detail will be resolved but sibilance might start to show up.

Sound Leak
The sound leaking out of the MEIZU EP52 Lite is slightly lower than on most average earphones.
Their sound will blend in during normal everyday situations but might be hearable if used in very quiet environments (and if volume is set very high)

SI
Sound Isolation
The sound isolation provided by the MEIZU EP52 Lite is noticeable but not absolute, listeners will have a partial amount of awareness of their environment while wearing them – this makes sense being that MEIZU promotes this model as an earphone for sports.

C
Comfort
The small size of the earpieces + the classic bullet-like form factor and the angles nozzles result in a very comfortable and secure fit.
Moreover, the rubberized neckband finish and the overall light weight of the unit add up to their comfort level and well-featured specs for active use and sports activities.
The neckband of the MEIZU EP52 Lite is much thinner than other neckbands like the Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Neckband Earphones, Bluedio T Energy TN ANC, 1MORE Triple Driver Bluetooth, MacaW TX-80 and more inline with the cable width of the TRN AS10.

Response to Equalization
The response to EQ showed a strong empowerment of their bass, noticeable cleaning up of their midrange and a fair brightening up of their highs – yet no major issues showed in any range.
