A very pleasing Colorization, but not exactly what I love.
Youtube Video Summary

Build and accessories are a clear win: a sturdy, comfortable, slightly translucent shell with MMCX connectors, a plush 8-wire cable terminating in 4.4 mm, and a premium magnetic case. As a 10-BA set around $1,000, it wears a tasteful black-and-silver faceplate and seals well without pressure issues. There’s a bass switch that nudges mid-bass upward; useful for taste, but not essential.

Sonically it’s a warm-tilted, cohesive presentation: male vocals come through full and rich, female vocals can sound a touch husky, and the mids avoid shout. Treble is clean and pleasant with a bit of 5–6 kHz energy that stays in check; overall clarity is good, though there’s slight hiss and the mid-bass can feel a little loose/flabby rather than tight. Stage and detail are solid, making this arguably one of FiiO’s better efforts, but the value is mixed—graded a strong A4 / S-: recommended if it suits the tonality, yet tough at retail amid fierce competitors; far more compelling on the used market or after a thorough demo.

I'd be careful buying it due to QC issues of others. But I enjoyed my time with it.

Similar tonality to the Supernova, please stronger female vocal extension at the cost of less refined treble, lovely midrange

Overpriced as hell - I don't get the hype. Vocals are way too shouty with masking. Treble peaks around 10K with a dip in the air afterwards. Low-end is "good", but nothing amazing for the price. Detail retrieval and separation is competitive, but that's pretty much it. If you want a clean sound there are ALOT of other options for better like even the Blessing 3.

The NIGHT OBLIVION BUTASTUR delivers a natural timbre and cohesive sound, with its standout feature being a lush, dense midrange that excels in vocal and acoustic instrument reproduction. Vocals sound present and textured without shoutiness, while the bass offers weighty density over sharp slam, leaning slightly warm and creamy in texture. Treble remains smooth and fatigue-free, avoiding harshness even with extended listening, though it lacks sparkle for those seeking heightened brilliance.

Technically, it impresses with holographic imaging and strong layering, creating an intimate yet spatially convincing stage. The included modular cable is exceptionally high quality for the price, and the dual DIP switches allow subtle tuning adjustments—adding bass warmth or treble sharpness—though the changes are nuanced and require a tool to toggle. While isolation is good, the nozzle design risks internal debris accumulation, and the bass lacks definition in sub-bass decay.

Fantastic set for someone who loves organic sound and Mid centric tuning, incredibly underrated especially for an All BA IEM.

Pros
the Timbre and Mids on this are phenomenal, incredibly natural and lovely. the High end doesnt fatigue you after long listening session, and the venting is one of the best I've experienced, zero pressure build up. Pinpointing instrument is a breeze.
Cons
Treble lacks sparke, very subjective but quite a plain and boring faceplate (I find aesthethics important), and I wish the low end had a bit more oomph to it.
