Pros: Hobbyist measurements give it a Harman preference score of 80.3 with only 2.0 dB of deviation from target, so the overall balance is close to what most listeners prefer. Mid and upper bass sit about 2 dB above target, adding a gently warm, full tone that suits warm and bassy tastes. At 28 ohms and 112 dB per volt it gets loud from a phone or laptop without a separate amp.
Cons: The open back leaks sound and blocks no outside noise, so it is a home headphone rather than one for commutes or shared offices. Sub-bass falls 6 dB below target by 27 Hz, so deep synth drops and organ pedals lose rumble. The top octave runs about 5 dB hot above 10 kHz, with a 4.9 dB peak near 8.4 kHz, which can add sparkle that edges into glare on bright recordings.
