Nice overall tuning, best thing NiceHack has ever done.
Youtube Video Summary

The NiceHCK NX8 arrives as a hybrid with a single dynamic, 6 BA and 1 PZT, priced around $200. Build and accessories impress: a compact, rounded shell with decent venting, flat 2-pin sockets, a gold-tipped nozzle, and a striking, space-themed faceplate. The cable is supple with secure hardware and clear channel markings, the eartips are usable, and the case is standout—premium and among the nicest in the bracket. (This unit was a self-purchase.)

Sonically, the signature is a warm, slight-V that reads darker in ear than the graph suggests. Bass is thick and thumpy with satisfying weight, mids are solid, but treble lacks air and extension, which dulls perceived detail and imaging. Technical performance feels under par for the price: stage is decent yet the overall presentation can turn a bit muddy. Against similarly priced options—some with cleaner cohesion, brighter sparkle, and better microdetail—the NX8 struggles to stand out, though bass-leaning listeners may enjoy its heft.

In the end, NX8 is a good-looking, comfortable hybrid with engaging low end and excellent packaging, but the treble ceiling and average technical chops keep it from true front-runner status at $200. It earns a qualified recommendation for those prioritizing bass quantity and note weight, and becomes a more compelling value on sale or used around ~$150. If the wish list includes extra air, sparkle, and finesse, there are alternatives in this crowded segment that deliver more for the money.

An Explorer with better vocals but doesn't scale as well. Odyssey and Arcadia better for clean and bass sound.
