Very resolving and well tuned. Note weight leans thin. First IEM that I can say I definitely hear the BA timbre. Could use more down low. Pressure build is uncomfortable. Previously Owned

One of the most solid all-rounders I've tried. Great bass, great mids, good treble extension. Very natural sounding. The only con I can think of is the bright red shells (my KL has the black shells)? Edit: While I do highly recommend this set, there are QC concerns that can't be ignored - the DD driver seems to be prone to driver flex and dying out of the blue. Previously Owned
