Pros: Bass is clean and well controlled from the isobaric dynamic pair, landing right on target from 20 Hz upward across 37 measurements. Lower mids are accurate, and a lift of about 3 dB in the upper treble air keeps the sound from feeling closed in.
Cons: The upper mids and presence sit about 4 to 5 dB below target, with a 7.4 dB dip near 6.5 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose bite and the sound can feel veiled. Its 102 dB/mW sensitivity is on the low side and needs more volume than most IEMs, and a 67 Harman score trails cheaper rivals.
