Fantastic set for someone who loves organic sound and Mid centric tuning, incredibly underrated especially for an All BA IEM.

Pros
the Timbre and Mids on this are phenomenal, incredibly natural and lovely. the High end doesnt fatigue you after long listening session, and the venting is one of the best I've experienced, zero pressure build up. Pinpointing instrument is a breeze.
Cons
Treble lacks sparke, very subjective but quite a plain and boring faceplate (I find aesthethics important), and I wish the low end had a bit more oomph to it.
