Just got mine in. They’re technically great but like every Chi-fi ortho iem they are tilted bright and bass light. Too. Much. Treble! The ergonomics are also ridiculous. They’re 3X longer than the S12.
And iem ortho drivers aren’t exactly thick. I have no idea what is going on in that super long chamber or why the long faceplate. The whole design is ridiculous and just falls out of my ears.
They do seem to have pretty linear response though, as in, if they could be damped less to down tune the driver they would probably sound great. Vocals are upfront and gorgeous, so they wouldn't likely get recessed in the process. I will be drilling holes into the back of mine to down tune the driver and see what happens but I still can't wear them. Maybe I'll send them to you if they sound good Shawn
