Relaxed upper mid-range. Vocals sound a little bit more forward than instruments. Smooth treble performance.

Perfect for rock and metal. Smooth, relaxing tuning, great bass with good slam, rich mid-range, safe treble. Upper mids may be too relaxed for some, treble is a bit dark.

Great resolution and tech, one of the smoothest iems, but uppermids will get hot on energetic tracks at higher volumes. Slightly warm but also lively. Recent units are a lot brighter than first batch.
