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

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

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

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

Reviewer Score
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.
