Decided to give these a try (€55 from Amazon) and overall I concur with the OP's impressions. These are balanced and musical IEMs with natural timbre and a very relaxed presentation. They don't have in-your-face detail but neither omit anything. If anything, the Aircoustics are laid back and somewhat lacking in dynamic range. Speaking of which, dynamic range compression is probably their only striking weakness to my ears, but on the other hand their remarkably gentle presentation makes them perfect for hours of fatigue free listening.
In some way these strike me as a BA equivalent of the Cyclone PR1 Pro: gentle and airy with good separation and soundstage (though not quite as wide as the Cyclone's). Avoid them if you love forceful dynamics and/or loud volume, but don't miss them if you're looking for a pair of balanced and fatigue free IEMs with no major weaknesses. Stellar value for money, highly recommended!
Oh, and thanks @Beyerfan70 for bringing these to my attention!
