This is not my usual sound signature which I like. But it's a lot of fun in a unique way. One-trick pony.

Easy reccomendation for somoene looking for a basshead IEM that still retains some resemblence of neutrality through the mids and treble. Loaner

The defacto basshead rec before the more expensive stuff. Super fun sub-bass, textured, heavy, prolonged decay for more reverb in the bass, well-balanced as well, smooth and scales great. Tech is not its strong point, and DON'T buy from FatFreq directly!!!

Lower half of tuning sounds extremely muddy, midrange is muffled, and treble lacks extension past 10kHz. Nothing superior about this.
