Recessed mids I can't approved but best bass tactility I've heard. One of the best stage I've heard. Top of the class treble. Fit is a massive problem for most - one of those that needs to be demoed before pressing checkout.

Best bass texture ever. Gorgeous treble extension, stage and imaging. Coherency and timbre a bit off. Upper mids/lower treble could be better. As amazing as it is, I couldn't fully connect with it (musically). Price is the biggest con.

Best of the best in most areas, but vocals and mids can be thin due to fit issues. Insane bass texture/detail and HUGE soundstage. One of the best trebles I've heard.

Visceral, hard-hitting bass, sparkly treble, and a large, spherical soundstage with impressive height. Fit may pose a challenge for many. Cons: Poor fit.

Phenomenal bass texture and quality. Mids are good if not great - I don't have much to nitpick about them - good note weight and excellent clarity. Treble is very sparkly and airy though some may find it a bit too much - I think the extra spice actually helps with instruments like violins. Imaging isn't quite as precise as U12T but stage is just as large if not more so. Timbre is not exactly natural but it is very good and definitely not offensive at all. My subjective favorite IEM to date. This is without a doubt a colored listen but it is so satisfying. Makes U12T sound almost sterile. That said both are good counterpoints to each other.
