Pros: Crinacle’s measurement gives it a solid Harman preference score of 71 with a 2.35 dB spread. Its tonal tilt of +0.36 sits close to the target, so the overall balance is neither dark nor bright. It uses 1 x 6mm dynamic with an easy 16 ohm load. It is truly wireless, so there is no cable to manage.
Cons: Its 2.35 dB spread is less even than the best measured sets.
