Reviewer Score
Best of the best in most areas, but vocals and mids can be thin due to fit issues. Insane bass texture/detail and HUGE soundstage. One of the best trebles I've heard. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Extended yet natural treble, realistic sub-bass focus and spacious imaging capabilities. Crin Youtube Channel

Top-tier bass, treble, and soundstage height and width. I don't approve of the midrange these days. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Visceral, hard-hitting bass, sparkly treble, and a large, spherical soundstage with impressive height. Fit may pose a challenge for many. Cons: Poor fit.

7.9
Reviewer Score
Strengths: Fun sounding without going overboard with the subbass, organic timbre. Weaknesses: The fit is atrocious, treble can get spicy on hi-hats.

Reviewer Score
Recessed mids I can't approved but best bass tactility I've heard. One of the best stage I've heard. Top of the class treble. Fit is a massive problem for most - one of those that needs to be demoed before pressing checkout.
