Ok, getting the Hyla Sardas after missing my TE5B's almost immediately upon selling them is the equivalent of being single for a while and the ex calls you up, apologizes to you, tells you she was wrong, and that she wants you back. Then she shows up and looks 3 times better than she used to. It's that kind of feeling, lol. The Sarda is exactly what the TE5B is, only it's better at it. The monster low end power is still there, but it's cleaner. The mids now have a richness to them slightly reminiscent of the JH Lolas. Well ok, one thing is still the same and that is the crisp highs I loved already. I've got a bit over an hour and a half in ear time and I honestly forgot I was auditioning new gear after the 4th or 5th song. I just got lost. I may still get an EE iem, but I'm not making the mistake of selling these to do so.
