A- Tuning
B+ Tech
Great sense of depth with improvement in soundstage over OG. More precise imaging, and improvement in seperation and overall clarity. Treble is better exteded. Sub-bass is around the same with more mid-bass. Vocals are more pushed back vs OG. Overall welcomed improvements.

Balanced All-rounder. Basically the same as OG Waner but with a little more treble air, helps boost resolution and imaging by a tiny tiny bit. Accesories are great for the price, sancai tips + nice cable
