For me this has some oddities. It would be higher if those weren't there.

An Explorer with better vocals but doesn't scale as well. Odyssey and Arcadia better for clean and bass sound.

Clean balanced tuning done right. A better tuned MEGA5EST & MOONDROP Meteor with fuller low-end, and more treble extension, same tech, but more dynamic - also half the price. A Mega5EST with better vocals and dynamics but less smooth and airy. Low-end will be weak to some people and on certain tracks. Not the most unique sound since it's clean/neutral/balanced.

Bass can be a little bit on the distracting side if you are looking for a neutral sound signature. Contrasty meta-tuning.

The EPZ P50 is a tribrid with a 10 mm dynamic driver, two balanced armatures, and two micro planar drivers, implemented in a semi-open back shell and a three-way crossover—an uncommon configuration at this price tier. Listings and spec sheets place impedance at 20 Ω and sensitivity around 106 dB, with interchangeable 3.5/4.4 mm plugs and 0.78 mm 2-pin connectors, positioning it as a flexible daily-carry IEM near the $200 mark.

Subjectively, multiple reviews converge on a neutral-with-bass-boost presentation: sub-bass is tight and weighty when called for, mids stay clear and slightly forward, and treble is extended with extra energy from the planar tweeters. This yields a clean center image and articulate vocals without obvious mid-bass bloom, though the upper-treble emphasis can read “sharper” on some recordings.

Technical performance is competitive for the class: reviewers note solid imaging, above-average separation, and a stage that feels wider than typical sealed IEMs—qualities plausibly aided by the semi-open design and multi-way damping. Trade-offs include reduced isolation versus closed shells and a treble tilt that may fatigue treble-sensitive listeners at high volumes, but overall resolution and micro-detail retrieval punch above its price.
