Tuning so good it melts your soul (kinda) treble wispiness + slight incoherent Tim Tuned Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Love the tuning. Very neutral set with sparkly treble but never unpleasant. Techs are decent but not standout. Timbre and tonality on this set are really great. Mids are great, and vocals are lush. Unfortunately, these are discontinued and harder to find these days. Previously Owned

Amazing airy and relaxing vocals. Sweet and gentle presentation. Clean, clear vocals - could be too balanced tho. Great separation, but stage size could be better. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Something magical about this set, but it's not the Bass. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

A benchmark for tonality and timbre. Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive. Precogvision Youtube Channel
