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.

U-shaped, nice treble extention and dynamics, solid vocals, more low-end emphasis than MK3, dynamic and great all-rounder that doesn't specialize in anything.
