Good: Build quality and sound quality are very good. It gives an open, honest and relaxing picture.

Bad: The price and the issue with the higher regions which is imo the transients and not the region itself.

Comment: As they come straight out of the box it was a bad idea to plug and play immediately. I was disappointed as i forgot to leave them playing for themselves for a while.
But after doing that the surprise was big and positive!! I love the midrange and the thing is with 'headphones' with this quality, badly converted files sound worse so in order to get the full benefit i advise you to take your record player with you on the road. Everything else and/or poorly mastered tracks become inferior quite rapidly.
So they are honest, so honest that you can use them for in ear monitoring and that's why i love them.
Using Shure SE series as a benchmark for these too.(minus the cable)

I own it
