Mediocre sound quality.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Build quality is great but the sound quality is mediocre at best. Human voice sounds especially muffled. Feels like the mid to high frequency range is not crisp and clear enough. Returned it in the end.
