Lacks control in the bass, but it's so fun. Excellent imaging performance that belies its tuning. Precogvision Youtube Channel

A more upper-mid-forward variation of the original Legend X, which could come off as slightly more mid-recessed. Crin Youtube Channel

Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Excellent bass, dynamics, and resolution. Very large soundstage with great imaging. Mid/upper-treble may be too elevated for some.

Reviewer Score
Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black) seem to help a lot.
