So right out of the box, initial discovery is that the silicon tips are unusable. I had to either use included foam or grab my Final Audio E tips. Sound wise these have nice sub-bass, nice mid bass, clear and full mids and smooth treble.
Sounds nice! Waiting for FedEx to deliver mine!

I like to read first impressions, does it have the same big headroom as solaris 2020

can I ask you please to compare both using this song by dead can dance.

Not sure if you read the Headfonia review, would you say they have more mid vs sub bass focus?

Oh yea. This beats the Solaris for me.
Congrats! Can you please compare bass response to LX? Obviously it won't be the same, but just to get a feel, on the scale between LX and Solaris. Because the Headfonia review suggested a less punchy, more spongy bass, with more of a mid-bass focus, which put the brakes on my early blind buy.

In my opinion, and I know some might have a different experience, but DD analysis out of the box is not accurate, needs some time to break in the dynamic driver.

The NIO right now, which may change, sounds like a Legend X with less overall bass and slightly more pronounced mids. Treble is hard for me to distinguish because both the Legend X and Nio have fantastic detailed treble, neither overly peaky or harsh.

I am tempted by the Nio, but can obviously wait. I would not get it unless it adds something my current line up does not.

How does it sound compared to Valkyrie?
