Youtube Video Summary
Celest Rue targets the tiny-shell, tiny-budget crowd: a 3D-printed resin shell that disappears in the ear, a basic SPC cable and white silicone tips, and a claimed 6 mm micro dynamic driver. Tuning is unapologetically bass-forward with a big shelf; when a track carries kick or sub, that becomes the focus. Vocals remain intact but thicker, and because the small driver is relatively quick in attack and decay, the presentation is less muddy than the graph implies.
This is a fun, bassy $13 set for newcomers who value comfort and low cost over technical fireworks. It does not move as much air as a 10 mm driver, so slam and stage scale are modest, and the right side of the curve (upper mids/treble) trails the left in energy. For bass-lean tracks it reads as a relaxed V, but whenever drums or sub-bass appear, Rue shifts the spotlight decisively to the low end.

B-- It offers a competent showing, maintaining cohesion on straightforward arrangements. Complex passages start to challenge it, but never derail the show.
