Endgame "balanced-basshead" set. Amazing low-end texutre, rumble, reverb, slam, and more bass than Origin and Titan - goes harder than those. Vocals and treble also still well extended, not congested, or cramped staging. Good balance while giving amazing fun bass. Recommend Azla Sedna light blue tips for more air, or Divinus Velvets. EQ down -3dbs at 250hz, low-shelf, 0.5 Q, and you'll get the Endgame IE target (my all-rounder target).

The defacto basshead rec before the more expensive stuff. Super fun sub-bass, textured, heavy, prolonged decay for more reverb in the bass, well-balanced as well, smooth and scales great. Tech is not its strong point, and DON'T buy from FatFreq directly!!!

Easy reccomendation for somoene looking for a basshead IEM that still retains some resemblence of neutrality through the mids and treble. Loaner
