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

It's not bad if you want a bass light presentation, but not for me.

A+ Tuning
A Tech
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
