"Apos x Community Rock Lobster IEMs deliver exactly what it promises. If your playlists lean toward rock, metal, punk, pop, EDM, hip hop, or anything that benefits from real sub bass presence, energetic upper mids, and guitars with bite, this is an IEM that punches far above its sixty dollar asking price."
-- W. Jennings

The Apos X Rock Lobster IEM delivers powerful rock focused tuning, big value at $60, and impressive performance for heavy and modern genres, though not ideal for jazz or classical.
