Reviewer Score
U-shaped/Slight V/W Shaped. Energetic treble. Great tech. Fun signature. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
8.5
Reviewer Score
Great bass, holographic stage and top of the shelf dynamics. Probably my favourite rendition of a W-shaped tuning to this date. Treble might be spicy for some, but using Divinus Velvets (stock black) seem to help a lot.
8.4
Reviewer Score
The bassier Helios with no sacrifices to clarity
8
Reviewer Score
Colored tonality done correctly with incredible bass and dynamics. Upper-treble can be slightly too zingy depending on source. Precogvision Youtube Channel
7.9
Reviewer Score
Excellent bass, dynamics, and resolution. Very large soundstage with great imaging. Mid/upper-treble may be too elevated for some.
7.8
Reviewer Score
Suffers from BA bass, and super Zingie Treble. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Best Treble around it's price. Super airy but still smooth. Bass-scoop isn't as bad as I thought, but those who want mid-bass - avoid it. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
8.1
Reviewer Score
Limited to 50 units. A huge improvement fit wise versus the original. Great TOTL all-rounder. Great sub, upper mids and treble. Mid-bass is an improvement but still not boosted. Great technical chops while fixing the sense of plasticness the original had.
7.4
Reviewer Score
See Helios but with more mid-treble and mid-bass. Precogvision Youtube Channel
