Extreme basshead's dream. Incredible sub-bass shelf while maintaining midrange and treble balance. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
A basshead set that's actually well-balanced for the most part. Extension on uppermids/highs are good but can get shouty, sub-bass texture and slam is impactful and satisfying - this is the set for most bassheads who don't want a crap ton of bass but still a good amount. Deuce better. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Something magical about this set, but it's not the Bass. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
A benchmark for tonality and timbre. Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive. Precogvision Youtube Channel
