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

Great resolution and tech, one of the smoothest iems, but uppermids will get hot on energetic tracks at higher volumes. Slightly warm but also lively. Recent units are brighter than first batch.

The Original "Black Sheep" of the Simgot Family. Warmer and less bright than it's siblings, can still be fatiging for some. Imaging and soundstage are great. Nozzles can fall off with use, QDC Connector isn't ideal
