Pros: The really fun lower end is enjoyable and rich sounding midrange are icing on the cake.
Cons: Looks may be a little too much bling for some, not the most technical performer

Ear Acoustic audio is TFZ, a company I once was a big fan of. Opening the rather large box one finds the very nice-looking IEM and a big round case, included like above is the tips and the cable and documentation. The shape reminds me of the great KBear Diamond from the past. I found it fit my ears well and provided good isolation and comfort. Sound wise I find it very similar to the other EAA I tested the STA-K, I think this one offers a little finer tuning and details, but both are fun. The Bass of the Hi-end is well delivered with a nice impact and minimal distortion. I find both Sub and Mid Bass well implemented and akin to a nice set of full range speaker with a sub. The Bass is nicely textured, and Sub is a small distance from the mId making the MidBass stand out in clarity. Speed is average and there is little bloating to me. The Midrange of the STA is amazing; it has little to no recession despite this being a bass set. Vocals stick out for being well bodied and rich/ smooth like silk. Both Male and Female vocals are very pleasant and sound quite natural. The Treble of the STA HE is energetic and has a nice crisp presentation with decent air and openness. Instruments a clearly head and it has good separation. The Technical side of the IEM is presented above average with a moderately wide soundstage and a little more height than depth. imaging and accuracy in general are good.
In a nutshell: The Ear Acoustic Audio (TFZ) is a well-rounded Bass driven IEM with good performance for cost and it looks fancy too!
