Comment: Interesting take on open backed planar iem, currently leading the charge for planar iems < $500. Well tuned, with very respectable technicalities to back up. More technicalities focused. Some sound leakage from open-backed design, but not much. Somewhat fuzzy midrange.

Sounds similar to the Timeless with a smoother sound, less detail, and better imaging (seems less congested).

A more analog but less resolving than S12/Timeless, yet better tuned. Stage is fine thanks to the semi-open design and better than its competition.

Cool concept. I love the presentation and the sound, just not the price.
