That KOAN Sound album is one of my new favorites, just fuckin incredible front to back. Everyone with good headphones needs to check that out.

I feel like if I spent as much time as I wanted to making people listen to that album I'll be labeled a shill, but goddamnit it's so rad. Ascension and Temple of Fervor have been on repeat for weeks.

It's been my daily driver for a while now. Sounds so neutral to me while being engaging and revealing, which made me think if a neutral IEM or headphone sounds boring and dead, it may be due to it is not revealing or slow transient.

These are true beasts, especially at their price point. Very detailed without being fatiguing, wonderful tonality and balance.

They do nothing wrong.

Anytime I see someone talk up a $200 IEM I always think to myself, "But why not just use the Quintet instead?" :-)

My Quintet is my official gaming IEM. Perfect as it should be with a touch of equalizer.
