Nice physicality and punch. Better bass as most basy IEMs. Okay technicalities. Image Separation is not the widest but decent.

A little lean, but if you eq it's one of the best sets out there for the price.

Bright-neutral. Slight resolution bump over the B2 Dusk, but at the cost of weak bass and sharp 6K.

Literally a more fancy Tangzu Xuan NV. Sounds basically the same but just with better packaging, cable/case, and build... but for $100 more?? Nah

Excellent resolution. Neutral, vocal-focused sound with great treble extension and detail. Light bass, can sound lean, thin and technical.

Fantastic detail and clarity. Bass is quite an upgrade from its predecessors, but still lacking some salt to its lower mid-range. Not the easiest to love, but also hard to fault. Tiring after a not-so-long session.
