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

Olina/Oxygen like tuning, which I generally like. Bass is midbass focused with sub-bass roll off. Very punchy and energetic sound with oodles of impact. Very close to the Olina with the mods applied. A better fit and possibly better build than Olina with an interchangeable nozzle makes this interesting. Unfortunately the nozzles basically don't do anything but might even be the source of some imbalance. Overall sounds a tad bit crisper and tighter than Olina, but the difference is small. Techs are also a step down from Olina. Less sub-bass than Olina, but this allows the midbass to pop more, which I like for certain tracks - nicely textured and impactful but not overpowering. Treble can be a little spicy - a bit unnatural sounding in the treble, especially for percussion but overall is very fun to listen to. Unfortunately, QC is not great - my unit had channel imbalance.

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

For me it's just easier to recomend the EW200, or em6L due to this being lean in the bass.

Probably the most detailed focused set at its price range at the cost of sounding off in the upper treble region. Probably the (one of the) most value pick at its price range.
