Shines when driven properly. Excellent bass, vocal-forward tuning, and natural timbre. Hard to drive, could use more treble extension.

Natural vocals, good treble extension, bass is tight and more resolving vs 61t and Davinci. Overall very well balanced and clean. There are some small peaks at 8-10k and 15-20K which can be an issue on some songs, and there is masking around 4-8k region, but overall, solid all-rounder.

Comment: Interesting take on open backed planar iem, currently leading the charge for planar iems < $500. Well tuned, with very respectable technicalities to back up. More technicalities focused. Some sound leakage from open-backed design, but not much. Somewhat fuzzy midrange.

Sounds similar to the Timeless with a smoother sound, less detail, and better imaging (seems less congested).

A more analog but less resolving than S12/Timeless, yet better tuned. Stage is fine thanks to the semi-open design and better than its competition.
