Pros
Powerful, textured sub-bass and a cohesive sub-bass-to-mid-bass transition give drums and bass guitar visceral impact.
Warm, lucid midrange gives vocals and guitars substantial, lifelike body without becoming muddy.
Matte shell promotes a secure seal and excellent comfort, especially with well-matched ear tips.
Thoughtful CIEM engineering is credited with improving sound fidelity, comfort, build practicality, and longevity.
Cons
With the stock foam tips, lower treble can sound bright and splashy, with cymbals and presence energy becoming fatiguing; alternative tips are recommended.

What Reviewers Are Saying
SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 89/100
The X4 is described as a warm-neutral monitor with unusually strong dynamic-driver bass, substantial and lifelike mids, and an energetic upper range. Its treble can become splashy or fatiguing with the stock foam tips, though tip changes reportedly bring a more controlled and linear presentation.
Bass
95/100
The reviewer calls bass the X4's highlight, praising its dynamic-driver sub-bass, convincing transition into the mid-bass, and visceral impact. Bass guitar and drum notes are described as deep, textured, and distinctly separated, with performance said to better much of what the reviewer has heard.
Midrange
90/100
Midrange is described as lucid, thick, and warmly tilted without turning muddy or unclear. Vocals and guitars have notable heft and body, which the reviewer feels makes images sound more lifelike.
Treble
82/100
The upper range is lively and present, but the stock foam tips can make the lower treble bright. The reviewer found cymbal crashes splashy and the presence region potentially fatiguing, although alternate tips brought appreciably better control and linearity.
Resolution Separation
88/100
The X4 separates low-frequency elements particularly well, with bass runs, guitar notes, and drums retaining their own texture and position. The reviewer also finds the mids clear despite their warmth, while noting that the presentation is not especially crystalline.
Soundstage Imaging
87/100
The reviewer says the X4 gives instruments and voices corporeal body rather than presenting flat outlines. Direct comments on stage width and depth are limited, but the reported solidity of the images is encouraging.
Dynamics Coherence
92/100
Deep, visceral drums and the strong sub-bass-to-mid-bass handoff point to convincing dynamic drive and low-end integration. Its warm-neutral balance is also described as clear rather than muddy, supporting a cohesive overall presentation.
FIT COMFORT ISOLATION PERFORMANCE 89/100
The matte shell finish is reported to help the universal X4 maintain a secure, grippy seal, and the reviewer found it highly comfortable with suitable tips. There is no direct real-world commentary on passive noise reduction, though Bellos specifies -17 dB isolation.
Seal Stability
90/100
The matte finish is specifically said to produce a more consistent, grippy seal and to improve universal-fit ergonomics. The reviewer emphasizes that obtaining this seal is important and reports a favorable result.
Comfort
91/100
The X4 is described as offering fantastic comfort. The reviewer adds that selecting the right ear tips makes it more comfortable still, so tip matching remains worthwhile.
Isolation
83/100
Bellos specifies -17 dB of isolation for the X4. The reviews provide no direct commuting, stage-use, or side-by-side isolation impressions, so its real-world attenuation is not fully characterized.
Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.
Build Accessories
89/100
The reviewer describes the X4 as a very well-built and attractive IEM, while Bellos lists a 3D-printed matte shell, RCX cable system, and two-year warranty coverage. The supplied material says little about the included case, tip assortment, cable handling, or longer-term durability.
Value for Money
94/100
At $999, the reviewer considers the X4 a benchmark in its price class. That assessment is driven by its standout bass performance, comfortable fit, and overall execution rather than by an extensive comparison list.
