Bass can be a little bit on the distracting side if you are looking for a neutral sound signature. Contrasty meta-tuning.

For me this has some oddities. It would be higher if those weren't there.

Clean balanced tuning done right. A better tuned MEGA5EST & MOONDROP Meteor with fuller low-end, and more treble extension, same tech, but more dynamic - also half the price. A Mega5EST with better vocals and dynamics but less smooth and airy. Low-end will be weak to some people and on certain tracks. Not the most unique sound since it's clean/neutral/balanced.

The EPZ P50 is a tribrid with a 10 mm dynamic driver, two balanced armatures, and two micro planar drivers, implemented in a semi-open back shell and a three-way crossover—an uncommon configuration at this price tier. Listings and spec sheets place impedance at 20 Ω and sensitivity around 106 dB, with interchangeable 3.5/4.4 mm plugs and 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors, positioning it as a flexible daily-carry IEM near the $200 mark.

Subjectively, multiple reviews converge on a neutral-with-bass-boost presentation: sub-bass is tight and weighty when called for, mids stay clear and slightly forward, and treble is extended with extra energy from the planar tweeters. This yields a clean center image and articulate vocals without obvious mid-bass bloom, though the upper-treble emphasis can read “sharper” on some recordings.

Technical performance is competitive for the class: reviewers note solid imaging, above-average separation, and a stage that feels wider than typical sealed IEMs—qualities plausibly aided by the semi-open design and multi-way damping. Trade-offs include reduced isolation versus closed shells and a treble tilt that may fatigue treble-sensitive listeners at high volumes, but overall resolution and micro-detail retrieval punch above its price.
