A well-rounded, coherent IEM that shines in low-impedance tuning with excellent midrange clarity.

Pros
Balanced, natural midrange with solid bass and rich accessories.
Cons
High-impedance mode feels unnecessary and shells may be bulky for small ears.

RSV with more bass quantity and better quality, at less than half the price.

Tuning: A- Tech: A- Bass: A Mids: A- Treble: A-
Pros
Very nicely balanced sound signature for all-rounder duties, with tonality and technical performance that punches above its price. More even sub - mid bass profile which results in a more cohesive, better textured bass vs harman/meta tuned sets.
Cons
Pinna gain isn't an ideal fit for my HRTF, hearing slightly too much upper-mid emphasis after extended listening and comparisons. Upper treble is lacking air vs more expensive sets, most evident in cymbal hits coming across dulled, not unlike the RSV
