The neutral "studio monitor" of qdc's 8-series of IEMs, lacking a bit in overall extension.

Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source.

Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black) seem to help a lot.
