It's like a better Hexa, it's not bad, but feels lean.

Comment: Neutral-warm with zero cut-backs on technical performance. Price defining.. Tonal balance, technical performance at price bracket Subbass slightly sluggish on crowded tracks, more laid back in vocal presentation. Staging is questionable.

Weakest point is the slightly thin midbass to lower midrange, makes up for it in the midrange clarity and treble smoothness

Fun slight v-shape tuning with forward vocals with slight excitement in the treble. Separation takes a hit as a result, and treble is a bit uneven.

Slightly bright, clean sound, very airy, sweet vocals. Great separation and resolution. Reminds me of the OG Orcales. Follows Harman 2019 but with more air. Needs more low-end, not an all-rounder. Not rec for hiphop, kpop, rock. Very good for indie, ballads, classical and acoustics.

Great tonal balance and resolving power at the cost of intimate stage. Missing the last touch of refinement on timbre and coherency, but a solid rec nonetheless.

Inoffensive other than being a bit too gritty and clacky in the treble.
