Just great all around, balance with amazingly clean midrange Tim Tuned Youtube Channel

Something magical about this set, but it's not the Bass. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
A benchmark for tonality and timbre. Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive. Precogvision Youtube Channel

My second 5 star IEM in 2024. The Braindance is a very satisfying IEM to listen to.Super* Review original ranking

I prefer this with the adapter, but is fine without. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Technical, but thin, and bright tilt with LOTS of planar sizzle and timbre. Needs more low-end (small scoop), noteweight is very light, not peaky, but just artificial. Needs 10hm adapter to be balanced. Not a high volume set. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

More mid-bass and less treble would be perfect Excellent bass quality, deep sub-bass, transparent mids, and great resolution. Low mid-bass, slightly lean vocals, and bright treble.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Not to my taste - treble sounds slightly brittle and harsh - but plenty of resolution and clean presentation. Precogvision Youtube Channel
