Warm-neutral, relaxing set, great cable, build, and accessories. Vocals are a bit soft, not fully extended, could use more air, but overall decent if you want a comfortable listen

Upper-mid range focused planar with good resolving capabilities, that sadly aren't enough. Thin and agressive sound - probably 1 filter away from excelence. Nozzles and weight might be a problem for most people.
