Blox TM9 in the house
Super Light, soft cable (very nice cable), Unique sound (more on that in a second).
Sub bass is up to TOTL spec, it extends well and has good presence, not quite Vido/WS Mk2 levels of sub bass but easily more than Shozy BK. Compareable to emx500 levels.
From sub-mid bass it takes on a softer approach, there's not a big peak like emx500 or Rose Mojito or even shozy BK. It's full and calm, so it won't punch as hard but will handle ambient bass tracks and bass instruments with ease. (Correction: it punches hard foamless or with certain foams but I think the sub bass neutralises it in some instances were as other buds have a more defined punch due to quicker sub roll off.)
Low mids are were it weavers slightly, it could use more emphasis, it's massive soundstage comes at a price and that's the lighter approach to the vocal range which dips slightly for deeper vocals. Upper mids are surprisingly brighter, so there's plenty of detail and definition to carry the vocals, im just craving a little more weight to them.
Lower treble has a great neutral-neutral bright approach, it's got a good attack but is never sibilant, no complaints here, near perfect.
Upper treble is softer, it's lacking slightly in extension (although nothing compared to darker earbuds.) but still has presence. It's got enough sparkle with no foams, or very thin foams. But using thick full foams which is what want to do to thicken up the low mids, kills the treble, sadly.
Soundstage is effortless, big and wide. It's not magic though (as said above its a low mid dip that creates this effect) but it's impressive nonetheless. Imaging is crisp enough, well placed and natural.
Are these the best I've heard? Not in every department, but in soundstaging I'd say yes.
Still looking for a foam setup for these the beats foamless, but it's hard to achieve. Foamless seems to retain low mid bidy somehow (i think its the driver being closer to my ear) but i prefer the bass response with thin foams.
