Exciting v-shape, graphs and sounds like a more aggressive/sharper Estrella that's less smooth/refined and more peaky. Uppermids can get shouty and fatiguing. Needs some sonions to smooth things out. Maybe at $250-300 with Sancai tips.

The Cano Cristales stands out with its ergonomic shells that are surprisingly comfortable for extended listening sessions, housing a complex 2DD+8BA driver array. The nature-inspired design, blending stabilized wood and shimmering finishes, is visually striking without compromising practicality.
Sonically, it delivers a deep, textured bass with strong mid-bass impact, though some listeners noted sub-bass extension could be tighter. Vocals are intimate and clear across genders, while the treble remains smooth and extended without harshness, contributing to a cohesive and balanced presentation.
Technical performance is a highlight, with excellent detail retrieval and an immersive, holographic soundstage. The included modular cable and ample tip selection add value, making it a compelling option at its price despite minor bass refinements.
