One of the best vocals I've heard on any IEM (especially for male artists). Mids and Treble is TOTL, smooth and well extended and has great naturalness and the perfect bite. Bass has great speed and still slams (even though it's BA? not rumbly), but stage and detail is average at it's price, but once it clicks with a track it's one of the most beautiful thing ever. Ran into distortion issues at high volume, but may be due to my source? (RSV too sensitive?) Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Warmer, bassier, and slightly more resolving than the Studio 4, with great timbre. BA Bass. I prefer the Studio 4.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

A BA set that almost sounds like a DD. Needs low OI source. Bass close to U12T with more mid-bass impact. Great treble. Sub-bass and imaging can be lacking for some. My favourite vocals ever.

Solid pick at used prices for those wanting a neutral sound with hint of sub-bass oomph.
