6.5 Reviewer Score

Great tonality - very pleasant, slightly warm tonality, smooth and relaxed character, solid technical performance, and fantastic build quality. Imaging and separation quite good for the price as is resolution. The lower subbass might preclude those looking for a lot of slam but for anyone looking for a solid performer for vocal/instrumental focused music, this is worth a gander! Previously Owned
