PLEXTONE has upped its game in the design department, but forgot that what's really important is the sound quality. These earphone's bass response is similar to that of PLEXTONE X41M, but the mids and highs were totally destroyed - no clarity and no detail.

Had to use ROCK Zircon's tips for this review. Lows / BassThe bass is massive, simply mind-blowing. The sub-bass is so powerful that you can feel tickling inside your ear canals. Very similar bass experience to that of PLEXTONE X41M. Mids / VocalsThe mids are a huge step backwards from PLEXTONE X41M. It's shallow and muffled. No clarity and no significant detail in the mids and vocals. Highs / TrebleJust like the mids, the highs are also shallow and muffled, much worse than PLEXTONE X41M's highs.
