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

Holy Bass! Unabashedly colored listen with heathenistic amounts of bass elevation and physicality. Man does this thing punch. Vocals and instruments can sound subdued a little bit unless you turn the volume up a bit which pushes the bass into guilty pleasure territory and beyond. You have to love bass but if you do, you'll love this set. Good details. Good separation. Timbre is pretty good for most instruments. Treble can be a bit unnatural but not offensively so. It's not for everyone, but bassheads will be hardpressed to find anything better without breaking the bank (even more). Tour Unit

Crap ton of sub-bass but still very well-controlled (for the most part). No mud or mid-bass bloat, uppermids/treble are smoother than Maestro Mini, still somewhat balanced without having the low-end overtake. Vocals do distort sometimes as the sub-bass can bleed into it. Deuce better. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Ohh this set is a special love affair with BASS. Not Neutral lol. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
