SA6 but better - and SA6 was already a very good IEM to begin with. Retains the same smooth and relaxed tuning and great resolution. What sets this apart is the right amount of treble extension to make these even more detailed, sparkly, and airy. These punch well above their weight! Most people should endgame here unless you need the extra 5% improvement that $1k+ more will give. Previously Owned

An SA6 with improvement in treble extension, and stage air; better tuned Oracle2 with wider stage. Relaxing tonality but also very resolving. Airy stage with great depth and height. Smooth dynamics and great coherency. Realistic timbre. Great detail and clarity. Mids and vocals may not be forward enough for some genres. Low-end is quick and has great separation form mids but lacks rumble and slam. Tuning A+ to S- depending on your library.

Limited run. A baby VX by a fraction of the price with less detail. Tastefully done tuning with incredible stage depth. BA bass and timbre are present, but you won't even mind given how good it sounds. SA6 Mk2 exists now.

Endgame "balanced-basshead" set. Amazing low-end texutre, rumble, reverb, slam, and more bass than Origin and Titan - goes harder than those. Vocals and treble also still well extended, not congested, or cramped staging. Good balance while giving amazing fun bass. Recommend Azla Sedna light blue tips for more air, or Divinus Velvets. EQ down -3dbs at 250hz, low-shelf, 0.5 Q, and you'll get the Endgame IE target (my all-rounder target).
