Great set for jazz/blues/soul/acoustic. Thick and lush. Warm but with nice treble extension. Solid tech. Vocals can be overly husky and buried in busier songs. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

CLEAR with LOTS of detail. Nice sub-bass rumble with no mid-bass bleed. Treble is super extended as well as high-mids. Female vocals sound lively and sings, but can be too much at high volume and overly thin. Great imaging and separation. Artificially boosted treble, too sharp. Jays Audio Youtube Channel
6.2
Reviewer Score
Great bass dynamics and well done mid-range. Treble extension is great but a hair too elevated.
