Audionotions 5.5 Reviewer Score
Nicely balanced with slightly forward upper mids. Surprising that I liked this given what I felt for the T3+. This is better for me by a ton. Makes me wonder if I received a bad T3+. Bass extends well, nice and punchy - decently tight and textured. Leans a little bright with a good amount of treble energy. Slightly-V shaped with slightly pulled back mids but not too recessed.
