Pros: The median of 19 hobbyist measurements gives it a very good Harman preference score of 75 with a 1.71 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Bass sits close to target and holds down to 20 Hz, so low end sounds full without bloat. Upper treble lifts about 4.2 dB for extra air and sparkle. It uses 2 x dynamic + 4 x balanced armature + 1 x planar with an easy 15 ohm load.

Cons: Presence sits about 3.9 dB low with a 5 dB dip near 3.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite.
