Pros: An open back planar magnetic headphone with a large 100mm driver and a midrange that sits on target from 200 Hz to 1 kHz, so voices and instruments keep a natural body. Squig.link hobbyist measurements give it a preference score of 73.7. At 15 ohms it draws modest voltage, though a dedicated amp helps it reach full volume. It rates above the Audeze LCD-2 at a similar price.
Cons: Sub-bass falls 6 dB below target by 53 Hz and is 7.3 dB down at 30 Hz, so kick drums and synth bass lack rumble, and the bass region overall runs 3.2 dB thin. Presence and treble from 3 to 10 kHz sit more than 5 dB low with a 9.7 dB dip near 9.7 kHz, softening cymbals and detail. The open back leaks sound and blocks no outside noise.
