These are awesome sounding for a planar. These have more mid-bass than most planar IEMs. This seems to actually work in favor of the tuning. The speed and low distortion of the planar driver allows for this to be pulled off successfully. The mids and treble are organic and natural sounding, without any hint of your typical "planar timbre". The only Planar IEM I like more than the S08 are the S15, which are much more expensive. The accessories are plentiful considering the price. The cable is super nice, soft and pliable. My only complaint is the cheap 2 pin connectors on the cable.
