It may not display this or other websites correctly
characteristic is not one that is easily found
The cable on these is a bit soft
charcoal gray is a very stiff glossy plastic
The sharp quality gets worse with both higher volume and deeper insertion
lag slightly behind a couple of the top-tier armature
soundstage is not quite the widest in absolute terms
It is not harsh and almost never sibilant
The cord itself feels slightly underwhelming for a $500 product
No longer do cymbals sound metallic or overly strident
no replacement for displacement
somewhat recessed vocals are a bit of a double-edged sword
Badly mastered tracks often seen in rock and metal will sound mediocre
lack of vocal energy can diminish the overall tone of certain vocalists
