You absolutely need the correct ear tips. Start off with the memory foam tips and squish the oval. The oval opening is great but any tips that aren't oval shaped and wide bore will have these weird nagging issues with clarity, impact, resolution and detail, the imaging, basically almost everything. They will still sound okay, if not really great.

But! If you properly ear tip them it no longer distorts in vocals, things sound further away and have clarity, roll off, and no longer have this distortion and fringing to the sound. As if there's cloth in the wind and the sound is coming off of it down range.

I bought the jnsa ear tips for the Galaxy buds pro, just some generic stuff that fit the bill. The problem is that it has a lip on the inside, but! You can push them in and suddenly it opens them up tremendously. The impact, fullness, richness, direction, detail. Basically everything is improved and sounds very, very great!

Can't say they are on the same level of micro detail as a etymotic er2 xr, and as for z reviews first start back in the day with the tin t2 I felt like these are what he meant for imaging, bass, clarity. Anyways, buy these! They are a huge recommend for a (kinda of a mix of tuning) for anyone with a slightly natural, slightly neutral, kinda v-shaped Harmon tuning. Like I said a mix, but a good one it works great! The vocals come through great, the bass has impact and speed with a nice decay and fullness, there is a wonderful high side to it where it doesn't pierce, become sibilant, or fatiguing. Imaging can best be described as accurate within the total soundstage it has.

While not very huge, still decently sized. For an IEM. Basically sits inside the ears and can position most of everything inside your head very well. So it's pretty impressive. Powered properly with good sources they do very well. But will definitely give you crap if they are as well. So I would have to call them resolving, which I like!

They are a little power hungry (I'm hard of hearing and have a USB dongle, mine is flat across the board for all frequency ranges moderate to severe. But it means turning up the volume is good enough to get everything!) and have it on full blast to hear. No clipping unless the song or show is. Or at least sometimes, the phone is just not up to it.

You will be well served with these fun IEMs with the correct tips and even better, laying in bed and leaving them on at night is actually doable! Which is a big consideration for me these days, others stick out too much and hurt, I lay on my side, usually.

Tl;dr they are pretty darn good, need the right tips to have them actually show it without a bunch of stuff getting in the way.
