Expert Take
Budget Chi-Fi IEM with 16-driver hybrid configuration (1DD+7BA per side). Tuned for fun V-shaped consumer sound with boosted bass and treble, not for neutral/analytical listening. Exceptional value at ~$33, strong buy for entry-level audiophiles seeking detail and impact over refinement.
Pros

Cons

- It is what will take a frustrating stock product into a damn fine one.audiophileon.com
- However, the slow and overpowering bass is the only thing I can really fault it for, especially for its price point.perrivanaudio.com
