7.5
Reviewer Score
Basically the Softears Twilight with less sub-bass extension, alot more neutral and monitor like, and very pricy since Twilight goes on sale for $700 with a more musical playback. This is just neutral. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Warm, full-bodied mids with natural timbre and safe treble. Light bass with low sub-bass, lacking treble air and sparkle, and underwhelming detail. Open-back IEM with a mellow sound. Good for long listening but not for those seeking strong bass or high resolution.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Sounds like it has metallic timbre. Percussino compression around 5kHz due to lack of treble extension and generally bad tuning. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Sounds like an open-back IEM. It delivers on open design. Something to consider if you are looking for that.Super* Review original ranking

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
B- Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.
Average Technical Grade
A-- Above average technicalities. Handles separation and detail adequately in simpler tracks, but complex passages remain challenging. Soundstage is modestly sized with acceptable imaging.
