My current EDC. Good bass and treble, especially for a TWS, but ever-so-slightly hot in the upper-mid range à la Harman. Sounds slightly better with ANC off.

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

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!!!
