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

Excellent across the board Not special in one particular way Tim Tuned Youtube Channel

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

Best of the best in most areas, but vocals and mids can be thin due to fit issues. Insane bass texture/detail and HUGE soundstage. One of the best trebles I've heard. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Extended yet natural treble, realistic sub-bass focus and spacious imaging capabilities. Crin Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Recessed mids I can't approved but best bass tactility I've heard. One of the best stage I've heard. Top of the class treble. Fit is a massive problem for most - one of those that needs to be demoed before pressing checkout.
7.9
Reviewer Score
Visceral, hard-hitting bass, sparkly treble, and a large, spherical soundstage with impressive height. Fit may pose a challenge for many. Cons: Poor fit.

Reviewer Score
Top-tier bass, treble, and soundstage height and width. I don't approve of the midrange these days. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Fun sounding without going overboard with the subbass, organic timbre The fit is atrocious, treble can get spicy on hi-hats

Reviewer Score
Incredible extensions on both ends Lower midrange Tim Tuned Youtube Channel
