So far with only 50 hours of burn-in I will attempt to describe the sound. Laughingly, I've only listened to 320kbps from a phone. Though maybe that's the planned purpose? The funny part this is the first IEM that my wife saw and instantly wanted to barrow. That is unique in that we have been married 23 years and she has never even tried one of my headphones or IEMs.
I'm figuring I will notice improvement as the 6.8mm composite diaphragm driver loosens up? At only 50 hours it has shown much improvement from OTB.
They fit great! It's very much a subtle V. The bass is not really that heavy (mostly in the sub-bass region) though it is extended and full tone. Nice rolled-off treble with way way more smoothness than 1st noted OTB. I'm starting to guess I can get into this with EDM anyway. Sound-wise the stage is by far most extended right to left. Not so much forward and back like the TRN Bax was. But it's absolutely a refreshing sound which makes this endeavor more fun than ever. I mean if I had to I could listen to EDM with a phone playing 320 kbps all day long. I seem to hear the heavy weight (It's heavy solid metal) of the fact that nothing is resonating. This thing is heavy, though it affects the sound, coming from a black as night background......which is actually unique. Such unique weight and sound due to the background. As far as treble it's the regular DD effect, This is way more even handed (bass) than the Tipsey Pinestone Sea I just reviewed.
A day later and a day more experienced:
Edit:
Well today I’ve tried it with more gear. Reminds me of the $169.00 Spring 2, except better slightly more forward treble. Also to me and other reviewers the Spring 2 had zero sub-bass, where here we only have a little sub-bass, no midbass at all.
