Frequently Asked Questions

The Gen 2 filters offer more subtle and refined tonal adjustments than the originals, allowing for more precise shaping of the overall sound without drastic changes.
While capable of excellent sound, the tuned response is geared towards monitoring, so audiophiles may find them less engaging than dedicated hi-fi IEMs.
The passive isolation is impressive, but active noise cancelling headphones generally provide greater overall noise reduction, especially in low-frequency environments.
