I don’t understand why people said Katana has less bass than Encore, maybe Crin inverted FR?!?🤭

Maybe I’ll risk buying TUX5 that looks damned bassy 🤭🤭🤭
Would be good for rock and lo-fi music

I see you didn't pay attention to the lecture on FR charts the other day. 😊 Better to normalize these at 1khz. Maybe not in this case, but it can make a large difference in how the comparison looks.

Great review, just no comparison with other TWS, such as Sony's offerings.
Yep, haven't heard the Sony's - I was pretty disenchanted with their offerings after the WH-1000XM4 caused pain in my ears. I kind of doubt the Sony's are anywhere near these though. I compared to the Sennheiser Momentum TWS, which I think the Mystique are better. There's really not much that competes with these, or is even trying to compete with these. But hey, feel free to send me your Sony TWS IEMS to compare.

Sorry I normalized to 1khz
Basically the KR5 stronger mid bass would help with lofi music as Scuba noticed listening Nirvana and Smashing pumpkins.
I’m looking for a good set for that kind of music 🤭

Tux doesn't have pronounced upper mids according to the chart. In theory that would impact the forwardness of guitars. Negatively for this genre that is. So you'd relatively hear more beat and bass than melody. @Animagus?

Like the Xe6 better with no modules, does that make me weird. Giving it a second go due to all the love it gets here. Can't confirm yet as I'm just on my phone but resolution and balance sounds much better with no modules.

The Aroma Thunder isn't doing that for you? I think it sounds great with...well, most things
Sure it’s my first choice for that kind of music but I’m still curious to try a new set😅
