Pros: The median of 5 hobbyist measurements gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 2.42 dB spread. It uses 1 x 80mm planar magnetic.
Cons: Presence sits about 4.5 dB low with a 9.5 dB dip near 9.7 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. Sub-bass is 4.6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
