The inside of the lid has a mirror-framed window filled with floating silver grains. Tilt the lid up and down, and they drift slowly, like an hourglass turned sideways. It is strangely calming and completely unexpected.

The packaging unfolds in tiers. First is the IEM tray, lit dramatically by the spotlights. The tier underneath it contains a heavy metal carry case sitting in its own cutout bed.

The case has a vintage feel and paintwork, like old silverware. Under the carry case, we have four ear tip packs spread neatly, each in its own labelled box. And tucked underneath everything is a small card hiding a pair of batteries you insert to power the lights.

Every layer rests on plush blue suede padding, soft to the touch from top to bottom. This is not the kind of box you put away. It is the kind you sit with for a minute, appreciating how over-the-top and thoughtful it is.

Lower mids have real body. There is enough energy packed in the region to keep things warm, full, and intact. Bass guitar lines feel fleshed out instead of stringy, and cello carries weight with texture still intact.

Male vocals land with a convincing tone, and the small nuances come through easily: huskiness, throat texture, little breaths between phrases, and those tiny dynamic shifts that make vocals feel alive. Resolution is strong, so clarity comes without stripping the note or bleaching timbre.

As the midrange climbs into the upper midrange, presence and definition return in a controlled way. The region keeps the lights on but the glare off.

Vocals sharpen in outline, and articulation becomes cleaner and more obvious, without turning shouty. Female vocals sound clear and well-drawn, guitars have clean string snap, and piano attacks carry crisp edges. Micro-detail is plentiful, with an easy presence rather than a forensic one.
