Nice and smooth, maybe too smooth.
Youtube Video Summary

Build & Fit: a quirky but comfy shell with a flatter profile that sits at an unusual angle, plus three nozzle filters that meaningfully change the tonality. The swappable tips/nozzles kit is generous; the cable is fine but a bit thin 2-wire and unexciting. Unboxing is compact and simple. Despite the odd shape, fit and stability are solid.

Tuning & Graphs: the gold/“rose gold” nozzle reads as the most balanced, with a bassy, smooth, slightly rich presentation and enough detail without turning shouty. The silver filter adds treble energy; the red calms the presence region (≈1–3 kHz) for an easier listen. Versus peers: HIDIZS MS3 comes across too hot around 4–6 kHz; MP145 has stronger raw SQ but fits worse and costs more; Letshuoer S08 is more neutral/plain and trades blows; TruthEar Hexa is cheaper with cleaner upper-mids but lighter bass/dynamics; EA500 LM runs brighter; AFUL Explorer is pricier yet more extended and refined; budget picks like CCA Trio or EW200 offer value but with caveats on comfort/treble.

Verdict: clean, clear vocals, a satisfying low end, respectable technicalities, and highs that are “okay.” Responds well to EQ: a touch more sub-bass, a tidier mid-bass, and a small pull in that 4–6 kHz zone tighten things up and make the set shine. The whale-themed “SALT” concept is genuinely cool, and the early-bird $79 pricing made it an easy pick; even in the $80–$100 bracket it’s well worth considering. Not perfect, but a three-star value with flexible tuning and comfort that many will prefer—especially if a richer, non-shouty profile is on the wishlist.

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

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.
