"specifically tuned to keep vocals clear and forward, which makes it ideal for listening to podcasts."
" And thanks to the slightly V-shaped sound signature with a slight boost in the midrange"
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
forward vocals are never V shaped Massdrop, but some v-ish shaped headphones have clear vocals (like dt880)
I'm going to go out on a limb and assume you mean the vocals take a slight backseat but are clear and discernable, not being as V shaped as most iems in this range.
confirm?
UzuzuYou can find more info, including a FR graph giving a better idea of the sound, in the link below. Based on the FR graph it certainly has a mid range and treble bump and a pretty flat bass.

UzuzuI bought these direct from Advanced. For the price I find them to be a good value. They have slightly forward mids and treble with lighter bass. Vocals have nice natural sound. Treble is smooth and balanced. Bass has nice tone but isn't impactful and thumping. Details are good. The soundstage is surprisingly wide sounding with nice air and openness. Fit and finish is nice, pretty to look at, comfy in the ear. For the price they are good.
PastafarianLemurNo it was another, with a silver body and braided cable, around 35-40 dollars. Very sibilant and literally no bass to the point they're quite boring.
edit: I checked their site they stopped selling them too
