Origem HS-3 PRO

| 10 mm Dynamic Driver | Bluetooth |

🎧 We are reviewing the Origem HS-3 PRO, a Bluetooth earphone with a sports profile.

This Origem earphone is equipped with a single 10mm graphene dynamic driver per earpiece and an IPX5 waterproof rating to withstand most normal sports activities.

Moreover, the device support a quick charge system that allows it to fully charge in just 30-40 minutes – a partial charge of 10 minutes can provide 2 hours of playback time.

Oddly, when pairing the unit you will find them named as Origem Superbass instead of Origem HS-3 PRO.

Accessories & Packaging

The Origem HS-3 PRO comes in a very nice and sturdy packaging with a magnetic side-opening system – the packaging resembles and is more or less inline with many mid-range 1MORE earphones and some JBL earphones.

Inside the unit comes bundled with a carrying case, a charging cable and 4 pair of eartips.

Bass & Sub Bass

The Origem HS-3 PRO can be rated as a moderately bassy earphone with a bouncy profile.

This makes it an earphone capable of providing a punchy mid-bass for most modern tracks but will not have the most intense bassy experience for bass-lovers.

Sub-bass, as well, does not get as deep as other bass-centered earphones but can provide sufficient depth for many genres without sounding anemic.

With an EQ, their lower frequencies can be significantly enriched, yet it’s bounciness will get out of control.

Mids & Vocals

Midrange on this Origem earphone is very warm, in part, thanks to the strong bass that extends over the mids and vocals ranges.

Despite some noticeably strong mid-bass bleed, male vocals can sound sufficiently clear for everyday casual listening sessions.

Upper mids are crisp but their upper peaks and strong female vocal notes can tend to transform into harshness.

Highs & Treble

Highs on the Origem HS-3 PRO provide a good balance of brightness/smoothness for normal listeners.

Detail and brightness is acceptably retrieved, making it differ from dark sounding earphones, yet users should not expect micro detail nor an award winning performance for their brightness and/or clarity.

Fortunately for treble sensitive listeners and users who cannot tolerate annoying sibilance, this Origem model does not suffer from sibilant highs; on the other hand, their slight boost on the upper end might exhibit some tolerable piercing peaks.

Sound Isolation

The isolation of the Origem is fairly stronger than many average headphones with an efficient partial isolation from the environment but will need the use of above-average volume settings to reach a fuller reduction of environmental noises.

Comfort

In spite of being a very big and protruding earphone, the HS-3 PRO sits comfortably in the ears.

In addition to this, the metal hooks can be adapted to different ear’s sizes and shapes or fully folded; which allows them to ensure a stable and secure fit and more comfortable placement..

Response to Equalization

Mids and vocals were easily retuned with an advanced EQ with good results and no cons but bass and highs introduced some issues such as excess of bounciness and strong piercing peaks.
