Review by: Jays Audio
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?)

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

Very well-balanced tonality with surprisingly good timbre, though slightly lacking definition.

Great upper treble, but its overall tonality isn't perfect.

Well-tuned from top-to-bottom with good timbre. Safe to the point of boredom.

Pros: Timbre so beautiful you think it's not a BA set.

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