New Meta tuned IEM. This gives you a bass boost and it's not the best bass. If you want the Hexa + Bass this is what you want.

Just get Odyssey it's better. Warm/bassy with solid vocal and treble extension (not buried) that scales really well with good treble air to not sound too intimate. Has a fuller noteweight with one of the best low-ends under $200. Recommended to be listened at higher volumes. A mid-volume version of the Explorer, bassier, and more open.

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.
