Over-ear

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree this is a detailed, reasonably priced closed-back that is easy to drive, with attractive wooden cups. SoundStage! Solo found it comfortable and not too bright; Headfonics praised the midrange and isolation but found the bass lacking body and extension, while Headfonia heard warm bass and bright treble. Headfonics would like a better stock cable.
