Great bass texture. BC driver actually works. Very well controlled but still impactful. Great resolution. Doesn't scale well because of spicy uppermids. Vocals often gets shouty on certain tracks, also overpriced asf imo

An improvment over the LX SE's bass, but still lacking in the Odin's control. BC is no gimmick at least.
