See KXXS. Just slightly less upper-midrange and more bass.

Nothing wrong, nothing good as well. I'd rather buy other stuff around this price that perform much better, like Olina or Titan S. Over-hyped.

Balanced All-rounder. Basically the same as OG Waner but with a little more treble air, helps boost resolution and imaging by a tiny tiny bit. Accesories are great for the price, sancai tips + nice cable
