Shines when driven properly. Excellent bass, vocal-forward tuning, and natural timbre. Hard to drive, could use more treble extension.

Natural vocals, good treble extension, bass is tight and more resolving vs 61t and Davinci. Overall very well balanced and clean. There are some small peaks at 8-10k and 15-20K which can be an issue on some songs, and there is masking around 4-8k region, but overall, solid all-rounder.

Two units, both have audible channel imbalance. Stage width is average but lacks height and depth. Treble is on the darker side with some 5k energy. Mid bass is a bit too much but good slam. Shows incoherence signs.
