Sounds like a warmer, lo-res Moondrop B2, emphasis on lo-res in the bass.

Foam helps tame uppermids/treble. Amazing detail for price and new benchmark below $100. Better tuned "softer" Dusk with slighlty less accurate imaging. Note-weight can be light.

Unique neutral-bright sound signature, but overall feels a little unengaging. Clean, clear vocals with decent detail. Bass quality and impact, mids can feel lean, and treble can get a bit bright.

Audionotions 5.5 Reviewer Score
Like the B2 but a step down in resolution and separation - very well-tuned - could use a tad more bass quantity and tighter bass (it sounds a bit fuzzy and loose - I guess they aren't using a very good DD), and better treble (this problem can be fixed by using wide bore tips). Great value for $79 - no comfort, fit, or QC issues like the B2 but in exchange. Previously Owned

Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.
