Deep reaching bass but with an odd tonality in the rest of the spectrum.

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

Redefines expectations in its price bracket for single-DDs. Impressive treble extension and technicalities if a bit dry sounding.

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.

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

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