A solid set. Good bass with solid impact, slightly warm but full and clear vocals, and solid detail. Could use more sub-bass and a more refined upper treble.

A more engaging Aria SE with more bass, air, and reverb. Feels too smoothed out with a hit in the texture. Bump in tech over the old one, but pricing is an issue vs EW200 and EW300
