SA6 but better - and SA6 was already a very good IEM to begin with. Retains the same smooth and relaxed tuning and great resolution. What sets this apart is the right amount of treble extension to make these even more detailed, sparkly, and airy. These punch well above their weight! Most people should endgame here unless you need the extra 5% improvement that $1k+ more will give. Previously Owned

Tuning style is a matter of preference. QDC Anole VX tuning, excellent resolution, and great bass with a practical bass switch. Unvented design.

More controlled tuning compared to the VX, while maintaining the excellent technicalities Clarity and staging takes a hit; it is simply not on the same level

An SA6 with improvement in treble extension, and stage air; better tuned Oracle2 with wider stage. Relaxing tonality but also very resolving. Airy stage with great depth and height. Smooth dynamics and great coherency. Realistic timbre. Great detail and clarity. Mids and vocals may not be forward enough for some genres. Low-end is quick and has great separation form mids but lacks rumble and slam. Tuning A+ to S- depending on your library.

Limited run. A baby VX by a fraction of the price with less detail. Tastefully done tuning with incredible stage depth. BA bass and timbre are present, but you won't even mind given how good it sounds. SA6 Mk2 exists now.
