Drew / Audionotions 4.5 Reviewer Score
Replaces Hola, and sounds much better to boot. Feels about as cheap in hand but the sound is quite a bit cleaner and more exciting. Same cable as with Hola and given that it's the same price, this is as much if not better of a value proposition. Previously Owned
