Does come off as sort of a broken FH5, but the FH5 elements are mostly there. Crin Youtube Channel

My first IEM. Bad coherency and timbre. Good techs, bad tuning for my library. IMO, there are better and cheaper options out there.

Great tonality - very pleasant, slightly warm tonality, smooth and relaxed character, solid technical performance, and fantastic build quality. Imaging and separation quite good for the price as is resolution. The lower subbass might preclude those looking for a lot of slam but for anyone looking for a solid performer for vocal/instrumental focused music, this is worth a gander! Previously Owned

Smooth tuning, clean mid-range, open sound. Unvented design, BA bass, could use more sub-bass, safe tuning.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Relaxed tuning with great midrange, but lacking quality in bass department. Separation and layering are extremely nice.
