The more I get into this game the more I understand the subjectivity. This earphone for me as well a great many others was the complete opposite. This was easily, yet again, a successful entry by Theiaudio. I the bass extremely satisfying, the mids are always king in thieaudio world of IEM, along with the timber and tonality. The highs were exactly where they needed to be, and the sound was engaging, lush, realistic. The imaging was on point and the soundstage was extended enough to create the needed holographic feeling without losing the intimacy. Easily one of the best $599 IEM in the world today…putting more and more pressure and $1000 law of diminishing returns.
