IMHO no one really needs anything more than this. Impecable tuning. Techs are competitive with anything under $100. Only true knock I have against this is that the nozzle is pretty bad - long and thick, which may be a problem for some. It certainly makes putting eartips on them very difficult. Previously Owned

Great balanced, smooth tuning. Needs more bass for my taste, can be a bit soft at times.

I think this is massivly overhyped, but it's not terrible and a great value with impedance adapters

Great all-rounder, IEF-harman. Bass is a bit pillowy.
