Pros: Bass and sub-bass sit within about 1 dB of target, giving an accurate, well-extended low end, and the midrange from 200 Hz to 6 kHz stays within about 1.5 dB, so vocals and instruments sound natural. In four hobbyist measurements on squig.link it earns a Harman preference score of 68.6. At 40 ohms and 111 dB SPL/mW its 50mm dynamic driver plays loudly from portable sources, and the closed back isolates better than an open design.
Cons: A 9.9 dB dip near 6.8 kHz and a 6 to 10 kHz region about 6.8 dB below target soften cymbal attack and blunt treble detail, while the air band above 10 kHz runs about 3.4 dB high, an uneven combination. At 330 g it is on the heavy side. The Audeze LCD-2 rates slightly higher at a similar price, and the FiiO FT5 rates the same for less.
