Needs EQ. After EQ is fine but other planars exist. Great choice if you love to play around with EQ and fit it to your target. Falls short to the newly arrived planar offers.

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.

6.5

Solid pick for the price, if you're after a warm neutral sound.

Pros
Overall very pleasant balance with good tonality and perceived technicalities for the price.
Cons
Bass can come off slightly boomy and a bit disjointed sounding at times, and somewhat relaxed upper mids gives a perception of bluntness to the sound, most evident on snare and other percussive strikes.
