This is not my usual sound signature which I like. But it's a lot of fun in a unique way. One-trick pony.

Easy reccomendation for somoene looking for a basshead IEM that still retains some resemblence of neutrality through the mids and treble. Loaner

The defacto basshead rec before the more expensive stuff. Super fun sub-bass, textured, heavy, prolonged decay for more reverb in the bass, well-balanced as well, smooth and scales great. Tech is not its strong point, and DON'T buy from FatFreq directly!!!

Comment: Imagine getting a 2 pin cable's polarity wrong, please Tangzu work on your QC. Smooth midrange, meaty low with characteristic planar subbass extension, relatively smooth treble; detail retrieval is above average Transition from midbass to lower mids isn't clear cut, not as clean. Doesn't sound special tbh.

Well-tuned, technical, does nothing wrong. Build quality is much better than OG Wu. Even the driver used is different. They should have renamed it instead of keeping the Wu Zetian name because it's an entirely different beast! Love the sound! Well extended, punchy bass, great clarity through mids, treble that is sparkly and well extended without sibilance or fatigue. Shell size is large and I get hot spots when listening for longer periods. Previously Owned

Clean and neutral with treble emphasis. Great technical performance. Airy and lively treble. Bass could use more impact and weight. Vocals are on the lighter side of things.
