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

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

Bright-leaning with the best bass texture at its price point, and one of the best under $500. Incredible resolution and clarity with stunning female vocals. Timbre is as natural as you can get given its price. There is some masking in the vocals just like most IEMs with a 1.5-2K peak, and treble does get too energetic with certain genres like KPOP/EDM. However, mesh filters+gold nozzle fixes this for the most part.

A more vocal focused version of the Moondrop style Single DD Sound. Technicalicies are in-line with the rest of the $200 DD Class. Party piece is the amazing soundstage thanks to that passive radiator.
