It's like a better Hexa, it's not bad, but feels lean.

Slightly bright, clean sound, very airy, sweet vocals. Great separation and resolution. Reminds me of the OG Orcales. Follows Harman 2019 but with more air. Needs more low-end, not an all-rounder. Not rec for hiphop, kpop, rock. Very good for indie, ballads, classical and acoustics.

Weakest point is the slightly thin midbass to lower midrange, makes up for it in the midrange clarity and treble smoothness

Great tech and treble detail. Amazing performance to price value, but metallic timbre and peak can be an issue.
