    Foreword: This IEM, simply named "2BA+2DD", is Super Audio's oddly configured 2+2 hybrid. The nickname "Supermeme" was coined by the guys in the Discord chatrooms due to its painfully generic yet overly tedious name.

    Analysis
    • Acceptable channel matching. Nothing much to nitpick.
    • A rather V-shaped response with strong bass and steely treble.
    • Impulse response doesn't look as sharp as it could be.
    • Anomalies in CSD/THD on the left channel is repeatable.
    • THD is as expected, low in the bass with high D3 in the midrange. Rather odd that the D3 distortion also extends to the treble as well.
    • Upper midrange and treble can get harsh at times. Not for the treble-sensitive.
    • Reacts little with impedance. Should be quite versatile with sources.
    • Overall, it's... okay. I wouldn't crave it, but it's not a bad purchase for one looking for a V-shaped hybrid that's slightly better than the usual offerings in the $100 range (F9, H3, 1More Triples etc.)

    Great to finally see some measurements of these.

    That treble distortion did bother me quite a bit, particularly with the senfer UEs cable.
    The tenmark cable did tone down those issues just enough for it not to get in my way of my listening, but I did find myself dropping the volume on these quite a bit due to the shout. I used the foam tips though, so I'm not sure how that affected the sound.
