Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Neutral mids, revealing enough for mixing
  • Wide stage for a closed-back
  • Comfortable for hours, also with glasses
  • Leaks almost no sound
  • Fairly even mids across units, low distortion
  • Robust build, good passive isolation
  • Easy to drive from a phone

Cons

  • Thin bass and steep treble drop above 10 kHz
  • Little help against low rumble
  • Gets hot in long sessions
  • Heavy coiled cable, bulky plain looks
  • Bass balance varies a lot between listeners and units
  • Strong clamp tires you in long sessions
  • Cable can't be detached
  • SoundGuysNov 2024

    A cheap, dependable tracking and mixing tool; light on bass and not one to carry around.

  • SonarworksSep 2022

    Measured several units: good for tracking, less trustworthy for mixing until corrected (5.9 stock, 7.1 calibrated).

  • HiFiRatedMay 2026

    Rugged utilitarian studio staple that puts isolation over finesse; summary of four video reviews.
