Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.

They are not really open backed. While they do that perforations on the faceplate, the sound(isolation) doesnt change at all when you cover all the holes. Check out the Yu Xuan Ji review from AudioAmigo on youtube for more details on that
they're open backs, and as a result, theyre very musical for an iem. i have them and they are honestly perfect for songs of jazz, classical, might also be good for female-voice forward songs too.
The GK Kuntens rn with the Tin Hifiman T3 cable. If I want to listen to a very anticipated album, I swap to my Tangzu Yi Xuanjis
I've been maining the TangZu Yu Xuan Ji for like 6 months now. They sound like trash without eq but with eq they sound better than the thieaudio oracle I borrowed. I have 1 of each color now, unfortunately a bit too late to the gold one. I'm currently going down the audio source and cable rabbit hole now that I have my end game iem.
As someone who PEQ's a lot- the Castor bass punch, specifically from Castor OG, can't be replicated with just EQ. You can boost the bass that is there but it will not be the same quality of bass. Zero has better sub-bass but the mid-bass is much less and even for sub-bass I prefer Aoshida E20 or turning up the bass on Yu Xuan Ji.
Today Yu xuan ji with smsl raw mda l, I'm trying to match by eq the frequency of my odyssey just for fun. The rest of the setup is scattered all around my desk.
