A little bit thin and shrill sounding. Hexa costs half as much and it's the better IEM.Super* Review original ranking

NEED FOAM TIPS makes the treble smooth and clear. Very clean harman sound with smooth but well extended treble/one of the best treble under $200, no roll-off. The pinnacle of trying not to offend anyone, but light bass/low-end; another harman. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

A solid reference. Harman-style sound signature with solid sub-bass, clean forward vocals, smooth treble extension, and great detail. Could use more bass, vocals can feel lean and a bit intense at times.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Overall clean sounding, works well with quicker pop genres (Jpop/Kpop) Male vocals recessed, does not work well with the other half of Jpop/Kpop. Lower midrange suffers from thinner note weight (tuning)

Pleasant female vocals and decent bass. Male vocals are forward and treble has some grain.

Balanced and neutral with slight warmth in the mid-bass. Male vocals are great on these, weighted but still has edge and sharpness to the end notes, but can get sharp at higher volumes. Male vocals are bit congested, not the most open need the right tips (CLARION). Stage is average, and treble is smooth with solid extension for the most part, tech is around Hexa/EM6L level which is great for a single BA. Great neutral-warm/all-rounder overall, it's pretty much an adjusted diffuse-field with more mid-bass. I personally don't get the hype/"magic" behind these. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
