Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 1 x dynamic + 1 x balanced armature with an easy 7 ohm load.
Cons: Presence sits about 5.7 dB low with a 9.6 dB dip near 5.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 5.6 dB peak near 9.4 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 4 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 64 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
