to be concise this is probably the best iem under 35k,
Pros:
- Sub bass and mid bass clarity, quality and volume is amongst the best, this is not a basshead iem but will definitely please a basshead.
- Mids are not recessed and are as accurate as they can be, however are not vocal forward per se but are slightly elevated compared to "v" shape iems, giving this iem a mild "W" shape signature.
-treble is good but for me was very much dependent on the tips I used, when using with sancai wide bores trebles were nice and clear, bright, might be too energetic for some, however with regular tips was perfectly tame and not sibilant to a point of discomfort and had decent air.
So use wide bores if you want to open up the iems, get a little better imaging and seperation but might make the highs a little too energetic, and with regular tips you get more boomy bass but might lose a little of the stage width but is better for treble sensitive folks.
Cons
Condensation issue might be there on rainy days, the wing style fit may not work for all, the iems are medium size and can fit many ear sizes especially with smaller tips but if you don't do well with wings or have atypical ears it may not be for you.
is reminiscent of new meta style tuning, so if you have iems with similar tuning this may be redundant.
Overall:
9/10 literally doesn't get much better than this whether you're putting in 5k more of 1 lakh more, this is the point of diminishing returns, atleast in my opinion, and from this price point on its mostly accesories or timings which actually make a difference.
fit and comfort was amazing for me, i have normal ears, with smaller canals, fits very well for me with small tips, but might have a few pressure spots depending on the ear.
build quality is very good with a nice metal shell.
The cable is very good and premium, accessories are good, and has a premium feel and looks beautiful with good presentation, over-all worth for the money, atleast for me lol.
however you may want to wait for more reviews on the hype 4 mark 2 and the new tea pro SE, and if you're a basshead the martillo is going to be potential endgame.
