Since last year, the IEM (in-ear monitor) world has been in a phase of collaborations with major influencers. For the most part, the results have been exceptional, often bringing improved sound quality and better tunings to lower price points than was previously possible.

Compared to the original Nanna, this version (and the 2.0, as the internals are the same between it and this collab edition) uses a more powerful dynamic
