Best value of the Lime Ears.
Youtube Video Summary

Build and presentation hit boutique vibes: a machined-aluminum shell with a clever nozzle dip that grips tips securely, a flat 2-pin socket with a top filter, and smooth finishing that feels premium in ear. The accessory set fits the price—SpinFit W1 and foam tips, cleaner, pouch—and the leatherette puck case looks simple but feels surprisingly durable. The stock 4.4 mm cable is aesthetically pleasing yet a bit stiff, with a loose chin slider; red/blue markers make orientation easy.

Tonally, Terra skews brighter with a touch of sharpness up top, bringing strong micro-detail and air while keeping a tasteful, impactful bass shelf. The 6-driver hybrid (including a 7 mm titanium DD for lows) delivers confident technicalities: fast attacks, clean separation, and a wide-open stage. FR observations show a gradual bass rise, good treble extension, and a mid-treble lift (around the 8 k region) that adds sparkle and excitement but can read hot for sensitive listeners.

Against peers, Terra tracks a refined “Harman-ish” contour with extra energy, feeling more dynamic and lively than several mid/high-tier alternatives while keeping mids even and uncluttered. Trade-offs exist: a hint of metallic timbre, occasional upper-mid glare, and imaging that can soften at micro level; yet the overall mix of bass quality, clarity, and stage makes music engaging. At $1,200, the Polish boutique package reads as a serious, distinctive choice—highly recommendable if a brighter tilt and vivid treble are on the wish list.
