Nice review Collin! HYLA Sarda is really good and specialized for electronic and pop genre. The bass is addictive. And the treble is excellent. They have a high quality sound and complement each other well. The mids may be less forward but once you get used to it it's pretty enjoyable too.
"I loved the CE-5, but understood its shortcomings. I then went for the TE-5B because it was said to be improved in the bass and mids and while that was true, it lost a little of the magic with more mid-bass and overall a warmer signature. I missed that knife-like precision of the CE-5 with crushing sub-bass and sparkly treble. The Sarda, upon first listen, made me understand immediately what Hyla was going for. That magical sub-bass is still there, but slightly subdued in comparison to the CE-5. Mid-bass is extremely punchy, but not warm or elevated to detract from that famous sub-bass. Mids are crystal clear, vocals are crisp, everything is more balanced and coherent. Treble, by memory, is roughly similar to the CE-5 but a tad thicker and warmer. Still, the Sarda provides awesome sparkle and this is definitely an enhanced treble."
