Introduction

IEM Description

The SA6 EST is a hybrid IEM with six balanced armatures and two electret-style tweeters. It offers a bright, mid-forward tuning with a lean bass response and smooth but unspectacular treble. Technical performance is average for the price, with moderate detail and staging. Build quality and accessories are excellent, and it pairs well with older rock recordings. Overall, a well-built set with niche appeal but limited versatility.

The driver configuration is Hybrid. It consists of 6 Balanced Armature & 2 Electrostatic.
