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.

Comment: Best yanyin so far. Same as moonlight but heavier bass response Because of the heavier bass region, it does not sound the most balanced
