Similar to the SA6 Ultra but with more bass, airier treble, and improved soundstage and fit. QDC Anole VX tuning, excellent resolution, and great bass with a practical bass switch. Unvented design.

V-shaped SA6 Ultra with more recessed mids and vocals. Sharper and more bass than SA6U but mids are buried in busier tracks.

Like the Ultra, but slightly improved in all technicalities categories except for timbre where the Ultra takes the win because upper-mids/lower-treble are too dialed down for my tastes on the MK2. If you don't have Ultra and want one, the MK2 is the closest you'll get.

A more refined SA6u, with the freedom to boost the bass even more and costing less. Less natural upper treble at the cost of that terrific extension.

A warmer rendition of the original SA6, best considered a side-grade than a true upgrade.
