Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 72 with a 3.02 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1.2 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. It uses 1 x 106mm planar magnetic.
Cons: A 5.6 dB peak near 4.4 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 5.5 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. Treble sits about 7.5 dB low, so it sounds a little dark.
