Pros: Bass is lifted about 2.2 dB with extension to 20 Hz, giving kick drums and bass lines extra weight. Lower mids sit within about 0.7 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 8 x balanced armature with an easy 23.5 ohm load.
Cons: Presence sits about 3.8 dB low with an 8.6 dB dip near 5.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A Harman score of 63 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
