Pros: Eight balanced armatures per side earn a preference score of 72 in crinacle’s measurement. Across hobbyist measurements on squig.link the bass and lower midrange sit within 1 dB of target and the largest treble peak is only 2.4 dB, so the sound stays clean and free of harshness. At 17 ohms and 111 dB it plays loud from a phone or small dongle.
Cons: Presence sits 5.5 dB below target with a 6.7 dB dip near 5.3 kHz, which pushes vocals and guitar bite back and makes some recordings sound distant. Sub-bass runs 4.4 dB under target and is 5.3 dB down at 30 Hz, so the all armature design gives less deep rumble than a dynamic driver set. It is wired only.
