Lacks control in the bass, but it's so fun. Excellent imaging performance that belies its tuning. Precogvision Youtube Channel
Empire Ears Legend X SE reviewed by: Crin
A more upper-mid-forward variation of the original Legend X, which could come off as slightly more mid-recessed. Crin Youtube Channel
Canpur CP74E Reviews
Canpur CP74E reviewed by: Smirk Audio
Punchy bass with some bass body bloat. Pleasant, euphonic vocal timbre with good note body. Decent treble minus the lower/mid-treble dip.

Canpur CP74E reviewed by: Shuwa-T
Retains all the techs of the 622b with a more tamed bass presentation, overall arguably more balanced sounding than the 622b Bass transition to lower midrange may not work well for slower genres requiring a higher midbass shelf; less versatile
