Comment: Literally an inferior Macbeth. Organic sounding vocals Everything else

EPZ 530 reviewed by: Jays Audio
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

It does some things very well. Very good item. Jaytiss Youtube Channel
