Hypersense. An unknown brand that tries to make a statement. What's the statement? Even I'm not sure. A decent-sounding pair with an OK build quality for the same price (if not higher) as some highly-impressive hybrid pairs that you can get nowadays.
If Hypersense wants to compete, they should make an effort. Their current offering can barely keep up with the already crowded competition.

Despite their weird shape, these earphones are actually comfortable. They press slightly against your ear to keep a firm seal and prevent them from falling out. Not the best form factor to achieve this, but it works.
Considering these earphones' "pop-oriented" appeal, I was expecting these earphones to be bass-canons. That, however, isn't the case. Many will find that bass enough, but I would consider the bass lacking both in punch and depth. Sub-bass is basically non-existent, these's no rumble, and the mid-bass is just about enough to warm up the mids, but not enough to impress me, especially when I listened to some electronic music, and even some folk punk. The bass was just unexciting.
The mids are actually quite decent, although overemphasized compared to the lows, thus makes the sound somewhat unbalanced and shouty. Tonally, they are a bit weird, which resolves after getting used to the sound signature. Never the less, I can't say that I'm entirely satisfied with how these mids sound. They are just too loud and intimate for my taste.
The highs are probably the highlight of these earphones, being both quite crisp and detailed. It's neither bright, nor dark. A neutral and natural kind of treble that's comfortable for long listening sessions but also doesn't emphasize microdetail.
