Reviewer Score
Balanced (with some warmth) with good timbre. Nicely textured and punchy bass. Rich mids and lush vocals, both male and female. Resolution is decent. Imaging and stage are good. Treble is smooth and relaxed, perhaps a little bit on the darker side of what I'd prefer but still present and airy. Transients are decent but not standout. An excellent all-rounder IEM but expensive for what you get. Previously Owned

Sub-bass-focused signature with Moondrop's clean tuning makes this one of the best $500 tribrids. Crin Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Very resolving with good sub-bass and good treble. A bit thin and clinical sounding and lacks a bit of note weight. Could use a bit more mid-bass. Otherwise, the resolution is top-notch. Treble extension is decent. Might be a little shouty for some, but not for me! Previously Owned

Very clear with lots of detail. Sub-bass has a nice rumble and texture. Amazing treble extension and stage air. Female vocals are vibrant and shines. Mid-bass cut is real, affecting some genres and male vocals. Note-weight can be light. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Comment: Too much subbass, dry sounding lower mids. Clarity Subbass overpowers lower mids

Great tuning, neutral timbre, and a satisfying bass with a sub-bass focus. Solid all-rounder.

Resolution king for the price point with a fun tuning. Great sub-bass and treble. Lack of mid-bass bass and somewhat thin mids murdered it for my library. Can see the appeal for others tho.
