What reviewers say

Reviewers agree these are well built and comfortable, with a clearly boosted treble. SoundStage! Solo found the treble lift well judged and balanced by enough bass, ranking them among the best it has tested; SoundGuys found the treble too prominent for sensitive listeners, and noted the weight and hard-to-replace mini-XLR cables.
