Comment: Not the typical chifi sound. Warm, smooth tuning. Balanced sounding and one of, if not, the most natural reproduction of instrumentals at this price Slower bass decay may not gel well with the fastest of tracks, treble on tame side

Slightly bright, clean sound, very airy, sweet vocals. Great separation and resolution. Reminds me of the OG Orcales. Follows Harman 2019 but with more air. Needs more low-end, not an all-rounder. Not rec for hiphop, kpop, rock. Very good for indie, ballads, classical and acoustics.

Weakest point is the slightly thin midbass to lower midrange, makes up for it in the midrange clarity and treble smoothness
