Pros & Cons
Pros
Beautiful imaging and staging. The build is excellent with nice fitting.
Cons
Cost is not justified. They lasted like 2-3 weeks. Cable seems cheap and prone to tangles.
The microphone is trash and it captures every sound in the vicinity. Instantly noticed a very disappointing quality of sound. Sound is really muddled.
Bass drowns out all the sound. Bass sounds overblown and distorted. Only possible benefit to these is if you have tinnitus irritated by high frequencies.

Price
I would prefer a braided cable, but sound quality, fit and noise cancellation for this price is fantastic.
Competitiveness
I own many iem’s and headphones but i reach for these most often.
A balanced sound with a lot of oomph for the price.
The listner also is hearing me wellcons: 1- sony raised the price significantly with 55 model.
Only recently they've changed the number from 50 to 55 with a slight change in the look.

With appropriate physical fit tight in the ear for me and parametric equalisation to my ear response and taste the tightness of very low response from some recordings makes my tummy skin vibrate literally
