Fun signature done right. Sparkly and energetic V-SHAPE, but with punchy bass and not bloated for under $100 - how? Can get a bit sharp with certain tracks.

Mids C+
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.

Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
