SOUND: This IEM was great when it first came out. It was a tasteful balance between bass boost and neutral. The upper midrange and treble was quite good for vocals and instrumentals. However, because the IEM is only using balanced armature drivers (3 Sonion), there is a distinct lack of bass texture and slam (the amount of air or rumble you feel) which makes EDM, Electronic, and bass instruments lack the defined resolution that you would normally experience. This also affects the timbre (usually you can tell when musical instruments have a fake-plasticy quality), and is not as smooth and relaxed as a dynamic driver IEM (which has it's own myriad of difficulties including tuning and speed). COMFORT: The IEM is incredibly lightweight and the shape is very well designed to fit a normal ear canal. I upgraded the IEM to use dual flange and then later settle on the Spinfit CP145 medium tips (pictured below) that seal very securely and deeply in my ear. While the stock cable of the IEM is flimsy and will easily degrade (oxidization and eventual failure), lightweight cables are my recommendations for usage. This is easily the most comfortable IEM I've ever worn, better than my Shure SE215. I eventually ordered a Tripowin cable which led to the death of the IEM (see above). The Tripowin was softer and more flexible, but heavier and the connector was too tight and pulled the port out ripping the internal cables to the drivers along with it. EXTRAS: These are very sensitive IEMs. I could not use these on my Schiit Magni 2U without a background hissing. Playing off my Galaxy S10e was fine, but if you have an older device with higher output impedance, be prepared to suffer. An iFi IEMatch cable will fix this issue temporarily. FINAL THOUGHTS The original price of $300 was very competitive in 2017-2018, however my new Moondrop Blessing 2 outdoes the MD+ Universal in technicalities, speed, bass, coherence, and enjoyment. If you can find this IEM for under $150 new, or $100 used, it is still worth for comfort/convenience, if you can ignore the timbre of the balanced armature drivers and hope that you don't destroy the IEM swapping the cables.
