C-- Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
C-- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Reviewer Score
V-Shaped and VERY loud. Good bass for a BA - extension and texture with some punch. Mids are lost. Some BA timbre. Lacks stage depth. Doesn't feel that technical for a 10BA, let alone for price.

Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
