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.

Great package and some titles arguably A-Fresh Reviews original ranking
Fresh Reviews Youtube Channel
The most refined S12 to date. Smoothest treble out of all the S12, and very little Planar timbre while keeping up the great tech and detail. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
Planar with the most "wow" factor. Spacious heead stage Treble can be too much Tim Tuned Youtube Channel
Very energetic. Very detailed. Very bright. Noticeable recession in mids - it is V-shaped after all. Planar timbre is quite noticeable and can sometimes make this sound unnatural. Previously Owned
I think the s12 is fine, the pro and z12 don't add too much value Jaytiss Youtube Channel
