Nicely balanced, intimate and slightly dry. Perhaps the least Westone-sounding Westone. Youtube Channel
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
D- Imbalanced but tolerable. Noticeable dips/peaks distract from music; timbres sound unnatural. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
B+- Above average technicalities. Handles separation and detail adequately in simpler tracks, but complex passages remain challenging. Soundstage is modestly sized with acceptable imaging.
