Audionotions 6 Reviewer Score
Very well-tuned frow lows to highs. Harman-ish but deviates from Harman in a good way. Very good textured bass, clear mids, and airy treble. It differs from Harman in the slightly toned-down upper mids, which is a good thing in my book. Technically quite capable - I was surprised that it outperformed other IEMs in the price bracket, like the Kato, quite readily regarding imaging, stage, separation, transients, and dynamics.

Slight improvements over Buds2 Pro - slightly more engaging sound, better fit, better tech. Bass is a bit elevated and fairly hefty. Mids are clean. Treble is well extended. Can be a bit upper mid forward (less so than Buds2 Pro) but there are built in EQ profiles that make it much more palatable. Price is $150 but you will likely be able to snag them for less than $100, which quite frankly makes this my number 1 recommendation on my entire list. Fantastic value, quality, and usability. I got mine through preorder and it only cost $76. Personal Unit

A less shouty interpretation of Harman with the same controlled yet impactful bass response.

Very well tuned with slight v-shape. Bass is detailed with good texture and treble has good extension. Soundstage is average and lacks width; less open and expansive than AirPods Pro 2s. Imaging and separation is also good but slightly behind the AP2. Vocals and treble are more forward with more bite vs AP2. More exciting vs the AP2 that's more balanced and laid back. Detail and clarity are similar vs AP2, but treble and bass is more emphasized and takes more of one's focus.
