Wonky midrange, sounds much better on warm sources
CCA Polaris Reviews
CCA Polaris reviewed by: Jays Audio
Overall clean and balanced sound, but pinna gain is too much at higher volumes making vocals sound shrill and thin. Mid volume is nice, but KZ, so. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Has some massive issues in the air. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
