A better tuned version of the Braindance for 2x less. Fuller, less sizzle and artifical, better timbre, vocals are clearer. Still have slight planar sizzle but in a balanced way. Good pick if you want something neutral/bright.

Great tech and treble detail. Amazing performance to price value, but metallic timbre and peak can be an issue.
