Tripowin x HBB Olina Reviews
Pretty good for the price but a little bright/shouty stock. Slap a second stock filter on top, and it's much improved! Good vocals-focused set with decently sparkly treble and good bass punch. Technicalities are quite good for the price. Average stage but has decent imaging. Previously Owned
New HBB Xuan NV is just the way to go over this. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
Exellent tonality and shimmer (for a DD); nonetheless, could possibly benefit from better layering chops. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Close to Oxygen but for 99$ with better fit. One of the best price-to-performance you can get at the moment. Good imaging, great stage presentation and very balanced harman tuning. If you don't wish to mod, grab Olina SE instead.

Relaxed upper mid-range. Vocals sound a little bit more forward than instruments. Smooth treble performance.Super* Review original ranking

The mids still upset me, but it sounds magical. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
Relaxed and fun. Easy to listen to. A bit darker than my preferrd signature but I enjoyed this quite a bit. Loaner

Perfect for rock and metal. Smooth, relaxing tuning, great bass with good slam, rich mid-range, safe treble. Upper mids may be too relaxed for some, treble is a bit dark.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

High volume set, very immersive, scales great with no sharpness, wide staging, enough detail/extension, good bass, just crank it up and enjoy the music. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
