Light, but firm clamp and stiff pads at first

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

  • Rich, natural midrange with present vocals
  • Treble extends well without harshness
  • Light for its class
  • Very natural, detailed sound with clean treble
  • Bass articulate rather than heavy
  • Comfortable once the clamp eases; serviceable parts
  • Superb fidelity and a very linear measured response

Cons

  • Bass goes deep but can sound loose
  • Stage feels narrow with busy music
  • Firm clamp, stiff new pads
  • Needs a proper amp/dongle
  • Midrange a bit forward for some tastes
  • Clamp tight when new
  • Big and bulky
  • Still a reference after nearly three decades: natural, rich mids and smooth treble; stage is small.

  • Clear, natural reference sound that stays relevant; the reviewer finds the mids a touch forward.

  • AudioholicsMar 2007

    Outstanding fidelity and comfort for home listening; bulky and leaky, not for travel.

  • TechRadarOct 2007

    Lively, dynamic and balanced with strong bass; treble detail trails the very best.
