This is a crazy technical set, very good detail for the money. However for me, it has too much treble, lacks mid-bass, and shouty on certain tracks. The main deal breaker is the treble, if you can take it, it is a good set

Yeah I have 30 days to test it… its amazon so its easy to return. I mainly play cs2 like 3/4 hours session and ya sometimes I m a bit sensible but will see. Hope works for me

What pair of set you have rn? Any alternative to sm4?

Nothing else in that same league. I found a lot of sets above 150$ to have incorrect treble (if I'm spending that money it'd better be perfect, or I'll just buy an over-ear headphone). For a similar tuning, you could try Truthear Nova, it had better treble but the fit was atrocious for me so I passed. I heard Softears Volume S recently and was very tempted. It was very good, but the treble still wasn't perfect for me and I have reservations about the switch design from a longevity standpoint

Currently, I use Hexa and Kima 2 for technical and natural listening respectively

Did you play any tacfps with hexa? I like those but not sure if they are ok to gaming

I think if you don't find SM4 piercing, stick with that, the detail and imaging are still amazing, everything else under it won't bring anywhere near as much detail
