Okay these sound freaking amazing. I know its honeymoon period and way too early to make any proper judgement, but this is the best "out of the box" sounding IEM I've ever heard.
Initial impression is that they sound noticeably more balanced than the OG LX. The gripe I've had with the OG is that the bass can sound a little bit disjointed from the rest of the music, and the treble sounds a bit recessed. Wide bore tips certainly helped, but it still hasn't got the balance of the IER-Z1R or Solaris 2020. However the SE immediately sounds more cohesive. I don't feel like I'm missing anything in the treble region. It actually sounds quite airy. But then it still has that epic bass. Mids are pushed forward so there's a slightly better sense of clarity and detail in that region. Maybe a
slight reduction in mid bass, but it certainly in no way sounds lacking. It's still an LX lol...
Anyway, will keep listening throughout this week and share a bit more of a comparison once the dust has settled
