Perfect for rock and metal. Smooth, relaxing tuning, great bass with good slam, rich mid-range, safe treble. Upper mids may be too relaxed for some, treble is a bit dark.

Energetic, great quality bass. Mids are not the best but also not bad. Fun to listen to. Fit is amazing. Unfortunately, plagued by QC issues and I cannot reccomend this. Previously Owned

B+ Tech

Great dynamics and scaling. Very good treble timbre and extension... but $150?? Low-end is soft, boring, and pushed back. Mid-range and vocals are recessed. Same level of clarity and tech as cheaper sets like DSP and Khan. Gets outdoned by the Hexa, Olina, Dioko for $50-70 cheaper. Horrible pricing. NEEDS EQ or MOD.

Better options for the price.

Pros

Sense of clarity, comfortable fit that should fit any set of ears.

Cons

lack of body from recessed low mids/upper bass, bass texture could be better.
