Over-ear

What reviewers say

Reviewers praised the substantial construction and powerful bass, while finding the sound less neutral than studio-reference claims suggest. What Hi-Fi? enjoyed its energetic presentation; The Absolute Sound found smooth mids and treble but criticised ear pressure during longer listening.
