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

A solid set. Good bass with solid impact, slightly warm but full and clear vocals, and solid detail. Could use more sub-bass and a more refined upper treble.

A more engaging Aria SE with more bass, air, and reverb. Feels too smoothed out with a hit in the texture. Bump in tech over the old one, but pricing is an issue vs EW200 and EW300
