Great imaging and headstage. Width is outstanding. Even at 400 bucks it's outstanding in this pricerange.Super* Review original ranking

Reviewer Score
Very, very solid IEM. Excellent bass response and a well done warm neutral tuning. Great techs for the price. Large stage that is deep and wide. Great separation and imaging. Treble is a bit elevated but tastefully so (those that prefer darker IEMs may want to try first). Timbre is decent - while not all instruments and vocals sound natural, they don't sound completely off. Great candidate for "one-and-done" IEM. If you only want one IEM and have $399 you should seriously consider this one. Loaner

One of the best all-rounders under $600 (v-shaped harman). Treble quality is smooth and well extended. Great low-end texture with lots of impact. Good vocals. Solid tech, and just solid in general. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

A fun and exciting IEM. Fun, bass-boosted sound with powerful bass, great treble extension, and clear vocals. Treble can be overly crisp at times.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Bass sounds somewhat 'BA-ish' for being DD, but well-tuned, decently technical, and a very solid package overall. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Clean V-Shaped set, with good technical performance, and smooth, luscious bass that seems to float in the mix. Unfortunately has spicy air treble (tip rolling necessary), but otherwise is a very engaging and good set.

Pros
The bass quality is great. Bass texture is phenomenal. Sounds like a sub in a large room. Other than that, the set has decent tech, soundstage, and overall tuning. Very good build quality. For bassheads.
Cons
Bass can bleed slightly into mids. Air frequencies can be extremely distracting, so tip rolling is a must, especially due to the strange and extremely large fit. Pinna gain at 3khz can be too forward for some users. Imaging + separation ≈ 200$ set worth.
