Slight v-shape, but with less bass and low-end texture than Legion, more "balanced" and less engaging, but my unit was shouty and a bit sharp in the uppermids, also costs alot for what you can get at under $100.

The FlipEars Aegis delivers a visually stunning and sonically powerful experience, featuring hand-painted, medieval-inspired rose-brass faceplates that make each unit a unique work of art. Its hybrid driver configuration—combining a dynamic driver with FlipEars’ proprietary Earquake bone conduction driver—generates a thunderous, tactile bass response that dominates the low end without overwhelming the mids. Comfort and isolation are excellent despite the ornate design, and the package includes a premium 4.4mm balanced cable and versatile accessories.

Sound-wise, the Aegis excels with a holographic soundstage that creates an arena-like sense of space and depth, while its midrange remains articulate and richly textured. Vocals cut through the mix with natural presence, and instruments retain impressive separation even in complex tracks. The treble, though slightly relaxed, offers enough air and control to avoid fatigue, making it ideal for long listening sessions despite lacking sparkling energy.

At under $500, the Aegis is a phenomenal value, delivering technicalities that rival higher-priced competitors, particularly in bass physicality and stage immersion. Its slightly darker tuning prioritizes musical engagement over analytical sharpness, cementing it as a top choice for bass enthusiasts seeking refinement and grandeur.

A near-classic under $500: delivers thrilling bass texture via bone conduction, lush mids, and cathedral-like staging—perfect for bassheads who refuse to sacrifice detail or build quality.

Pros
Exceptional bass depth and physicality with zero muddiness, holographic soundstage that feels massive, and stunning hand-painted design that looks far more expensive than its price.
Cons
Slightly dark treble lacks airiness for some genres, and larger shells may cause fit issues for small ears during extended use.
