Overwhelming amounts of bass only slightly balanced out by a midtreble emphasis. Crin Youtube Channel

Imagin is fantastic and stands out. Hype 2 is a pretty good place to start in the hobbySuper* Review original ranking

Mini-Monarch MK3 with less bass and details. 80% there. Harmanish tuning, and best all-rounder before Studio 4. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
Just not right for me, but solid. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
Poor bass performance and sounds like surface-level detailing due to mid-treble recession despite great frequency response. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Good sub-bass but lackluster impact in the mid-bass. Mid-range is fine, but could use more separation/layering. Good techs for the price.
