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

Comment: It's literally $20, recommended to buy when starting out or as a beater set. Probably the most balanced sounding at its price Average tech like its other counterparts, bass is less controlled
