Reviewer Score
Probably among the most overlooked IEMs I have had the pleasure of listening to. Built by hand using a very high quality 3D-printed shell with excellent QC (channel matching on these is amazing), the Hekili is, in my opinion, underpriced. Incredibly fun, with punchy bass, clear mids, and excellent treble extension. Very energetic listen but never too much. The tuning is unique and a breath of fresh air compared to all the IEMs put out these days with the same tuning, Technicalities punch well above their weight class. Very detailed and resolving, excellent dynamics, imaging is above average, and stage is average. I honestly don't think there is an IEM at this price point that is more fun to listen to.
