A wired hybrid IEM using a 10mm biocellulose dynamic driver and four Knowles balanced-armature drivers. It is tuned for a balanced, natural presentation and is marketed to audio enthusiasts and professionals.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

This wired in-ear monitor pairs a 10mm biocellulose dynamic driver with four balanced-armature units for a hybrid five-driver setup. It's voiced with a balanced, natural signature, making it a solid choice for both critical listeners and studio use. The low 9-ohm impedance means it's easy to drive from most sources.

What works

  • Natural, balanced tuning
  • Hybrid driver array offers good detail
  • Low impedance for easy pairing
  • Solid build with standard 2-pin connector

What doesn't

  • No noise cancellation
  • May require a decent source to avoid hiss
  • Pricey for non-audiophiles
