Great, but not Excellent!
|Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good headphones. Mids were a highlight of the listen. Could use some more impact in the lower frequencies. Very clear low end, but not as impactful as I'd like.

Not budget friendly
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awesome, however I believe the price is a little high for what you get. I would recommend getting the m4 rather than these. All in all, if budget isn’t an issue, then these are perfect.
