Lovely tonality with incredible technicalities that scream details everywhere. Sinning only on female vocal position and BA timbre. Hits my HRTF like I like to hit my credit card.

Very well-rounded, but sounds overly plasticky and artificial.
Youtube Video Summary

qdc’s Anole VX shows up with 10 balanced armatures, slick build, proprietary reinforced pins, and tuning switches—but the stock setting steals the spotlight for raw technical pop. Detail retrieval is exceptionally resolving, with crisp transients that edge out heavy hitters like the U12t. Bass carries typical BA traits—limited texture—yet still hits with slam and rumble, even before nudging the bass switch. It’s not neutral down low, and the immediate impression is sheer clarity and speed.

The quirks appear in spatial and tonal polish. Midrange imaging feels unusual—stage is wide and tall but lacks depth projection, so center vocals that should sit further back can feel oddly placed. Treble brings another wrinkle: on some electronic tracks, upper effects can turn rough or fatiguing, hinting at a peak interaction. Timbre remains recognizably BA-leaning—a touch plasticky and light in weight—but not artifact-ridden.

As a whole, the VX screams technical prowess—one of the most resolving IEMs around—yet the combination of BA timbre, shallow depth, and occasional treble grit makes the signature feel sterile. It dazzles at first listen with its high-res sheen, then settles into a precision instrument: impressive, incisive, and polarizing depending on tolerance for its textural and staging trade-offs.
