Shouty with a slight warm tilt as a counterbalance. Not the worst DF-ish IEM out there.

Slightly more balanced than the Quarks in the midrange, but not by much.

Fun, cheap, well-tuned. And the kicker - the treble extension is absurd for the price! However, aesthetically they are a tragedy. In this price range, value prop is often increased in the form of great value accessories - the cable here is not widely usable, however, so no extra value here. Previously Owned

Very well tuned warm/bassy set. Not basshead like the Rosefinch, but still has good bass impact as well as upholding enough treble extension.

Amazing warm tonality with adequate techs for the bracket that turns into a ultra-budget nice alternative to the usual suspects.
