Rather bassy even in stock form; fun and engaging, though at the expense of sheer technical performance.

Comment: Balanced with bass boost, can come across as slightly V. Clarity and balanced tuning, very strong technical performance with little to no BA timbre Not much airiness, which can create the impression of a not so wide soundstage

Comment: Bass heavy for BA with no strange timbre. Great detail retrieval and technicalities Almost comes across as somewhat messy with that much clarity that it ruins the cohesiveness

Nice BA bass and detail overall, but the upper-midrange is odd and treble sounds sort of dead.

Fixes Anole VX's bass texture and plastickyness, but comes with its own quirks in the metallic treble.
