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.

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.

A little bit thin and shrill sounding. Hexa costs half as much and it's the better IEM.

I don't get the point of this IEM. Not offensive sounding. Sound-wise unengaging.

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)

A vocal forward take on a neutral tuning. Treble is toned down. Notch filter at 5 kHz helps prevent sibilance. Extremely safe tuning for treble sensitive people.
