I'm a Sennheiser fanboy. I grew up in the Sennheiser world, and you know how much we love neutrality and good midrange. The sound of this thing for the price is awesome. The mid-range is good, and the low-end rumble is well represented. However, it can be a little bit tiring or fatiguing until your ears get used to it, mostly because it peaks a little bit too much around the 2khz to 3khz range (I might be wrong about the frequency range, but there is a slight issue somewhere). If we can control that peak around the pinna a bit, man, this IEM is really good for long listening sessions. I'm not an IEM guy, but coming from the headphone space and mostly Sennheiser, this is a very comfortable listening experience compared to other IEMs I've tried. Even if you look at the measurements, you can see the bass is very well done (for my personal taste). I was a bit worried about that treble peak when i saw the measurements because i really hate ear piercing sharp treble, But to my surprise the treble is comfortable.
There are 3 main reasons why I would choose a neutral IEM, and my Rating for each reason,
1. Extremely long listening sessions without ear fatigue - 7 / 10 ( let's fix that pinna gain)
2. Get an accurate representation of the Audio your listening to if you enjoy realism and natural touch - 7/10 ( The lower mid range is a bit scooped out, needs more air without harshness)
3. Doing some professional work - 6/10 ( can't pick up sibilance issues when monitoring. But I don't think it's possible to have a really good treble response with good air without making it harsh and fatiguing, especially in a single driver IEM, so I'll let the engineers decide)
BAD ISSUES
1. The ear hook man the ear hook. Tangzuuu, why did you try to overdo it?
2. The connector, 2 Pin Socket BROKE OFF!!! ( pictures included). Man, I was gonna buy a cable for this, and yes, I know a cable for a $20 IEM is pretty stupid, but I was gonna do it anyway. The 2 pin socket broke off randomly, i wasn't even trying to unplug the cable it just came out on it's own. very fragile, so... FIX IT ASAP!. cuz this happened in less than 2 months of use.
FINAL CONCLUSION
Would I recommend it? yes. Absolutely yes, IF AND ONLY IF you're not a bass head and you love natural neutral sound. But beware of a broken connector socket, and it might be a bit fatiguing cuz of that pinna gain around 2khz to 3khz (maybe I'm wrong about the range)
