A+ Tuning
A- Tech
Just get Odyssey it's better. Warm/bassy with solid vocal and treble extension (not buried) that scales really well with good treble air to not sound too intimate. Has a fuller noteweight with one of the best low-ends under $200. Recommended to be listened at higher volumes. A mid-volume version of the Explorer, bassier, and more open.

Great Meta tuning. Could use more detail, not very engaging. Solid reference.

Pros: Almost dead neutral tuning in the best of ways. Cons: Lacks excitement, bass is alright.

New Meta tuned IEM. This gives you a bass boost and it's not the best bass. If you want the Hexa + Bass this is what you want.

"Solid pick for the price, if you're after a warm neutral sound."

Pros
Overall very pleasant balance with good tonality and perceived technicalities for the price.
Cons
Bass can come off slightly boomy and a bit disjointed sounding at times, and somewhat relaxed upper mids gives a perception of bluntness to the sound, most evident on snare and other percussive strikes.
