Imagin is fantastic and stands out. Hype 2 is a pretty good place to start in the hobbySuper* Review original ranking

Mini-Monarch MK3 with less bass and details. 80% there. Harmanish tuning, and best all-rounder before Studio 4. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
Just not right for me, but solid. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
Poor bass performance and sounds like surface-level detailing due to mid-treble recession despite great frequency response. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Good sub-bass but lackluster impact in the mid-bass. Mid-range is fine, but could use more separation/layering. Good techs for the price.

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

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

Hits Hard, and is super fun. Suprisingly great mids. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
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!!! Jays Audio Youtube Channel
