Excellent balance of detail and musicality. Harman-like tuning with full-bodied sound, great sub-bass, and solid detail. Could use more mid-bass impact. Slightly bright treble.

I don't think its an exceptional sound for this price. There are better options. Build Quality and aesthetics are nice though.

Sounds Harman-inspired with some minor tuning liberties. Decent overall but I'd prefer more air past 10kHz.

Slightly more tame than the Crimson but more well-rounded as a result. Something like a slightly refined U12t.
