Pleasant female vocals and decent bass. Male vocals are forward and treble has some grain.

A prettier, more premium Hexa. Engineering tour-de-force. Try and get it for $100 or less

Sounds quite good but not exceptional. Not a lot of depth. Nothing is sharp or aggressive. Take it for what it is

Balanced and neutral with slight warmth in the mid-bass. Male vocals are great on these, weighted but still has edge and sharpness to the end notes, but can get sharp at higher volumes. Male vocals are bit congested, not the most open need the right tips (CLARION). Stage is average, and treble is smooth with solid extension for the most part, tech is around Hexa/EM6L level which is great for a single BA. Great neutral-warm/all-rounder overall, it's pretty much an adjusted diffuse-field with more mid-bass. I personally don't get the hype/"magic" behind these.
