Comment: Bass heavy for BA with no strange timbre. Great detail retrieval and technicalities Almost comes across as somewhat messy with that much clarity that it ruins the cohesiveness

Rather bassy even in stock form; fun and engaging, though at the expense of sheer technical performance.

Fixes Anole VX's bass texture and plastickyness, but comes with its own quirks in the metallic treble.
