Comment: Neutral-warm with zero cut-backs on technical performance. Price defining.. Tonal balance, technical performance at price bracket Subbass slightly sluggish on crowded tracks, more laid back in vocal presentation. Staging is questionable.

Fun slight v-shape tuning with forward vocals with slight excitement in the treble. Separation takes a hit as a result, and treble is a bit uneven.

Great tonal balance and resolving power at the cost of intimate stage. Missing the last touch of refinement on timbre and coherency, but a solid rec nonetheless.

Inoffensive other than being a bit too gritty and clacky in the treble.
