Having owned the v2, v3, AndroS and AG in the past...
Just got my MW10 and I think it's probably the best version of Andro yet (gotta demo the Andro 2020 though). It's like it the took the OG, lifted the veil, boosted the upper mids slightly for some clarity and maybe reduced the mid-bass a little. What results is an Andro w/ the OG's treble, the S's mids and a very coherent bass. Enjoying it a lot and the mids on it are particularly fantastic (probably the best out of all the Andro versions) and the treble is not very peaky. Soundstage is reduced a little, but there is tons of air and I believe imaging improved significantly as well as the instrument separation and layering. It's also fairly dynamic (not as much as a DD IEM), but it's very engaging and keeps you bobbing your head to the music. It's an excellent tuning and if @audio123 @ExpatinJapan or @Currawong can chime in about it's differences with the 2020, that would be much appreciated. I suspect they took the MW10's tuning and used it on the 2020 as Ken Ball mention. Regardless, great IEM!
Now you need to hear the Ara. I think it would be a good battle between the two.
