It is Bass light, considered bright, not flat. More treble on the top end. Yes, hyped because for that price, value is amazing. The technicalities is better than anything at the price point. Very clean and clear sounding.

My "setup" now:

1. wired IEM
- Moondrop Chu can't go wrong with this, it's literally perfect except I pushed the mesh in once while trying to clean it. Contemplating to buy a new pair... it's really good.

2. TWS
- Sennheiser CX Plus. ANC is below average but Sennheiser's "Your Sound" feature really tuned the sound perfectly to my liking. But I will get APP Gen 2 soon.

3. wired Headset
- Razer Baraccuda X (2021) version. Works fine for home/gaming use. the free 7.1 surround sound a bit gimmicky but sounds better after some adjustments through windows control panel

4. wireless headset
- Bose QC45. Perfect, flawless, nothing to complain about. I initially was using a XM5 but sold away after a week because I HATE HOW IT SOUNDS. Bose is heaven compared to Sony. And this is something I've noticed with all Sony audio products (had a MDR EXAP or whatever, a CI-100, XM5).. they all sound dark and muddy. Not clear at all. I know this is personal preference and it's obvious I like brighter sounds but there's something about Sony's audio tuning that ruins it for me.

Any recommendations for wireless with ANC and mic for an iPhone? Main purpose is tele/video conferencing at work. Budget below $100. Looked at the Redmi bud 4 pro but understand there is no app support which means that sound controls cannot be adjusted when paired with an iPhone?

Any recommendation for a budget IEM with inline remote and not over ears?

Thanks.
