Comment: Perfect for orchestral and classical. Massive soundstage, almost theatre-like Final tuning may not be for everyone

Good but expensive. Recommended if you can find it for around $500. Direct upgrade to the AFUL Explorer. Scales great. Reminds me of the EJ07M but a bit smoother and less dynamic. Prefer it more than the OG pilgrim, but definitely not worth $400 more lol.
