EarBudsZone:

“An excellent example of studio-grade headphones with universal appeal. Audiophiles will love them for the astounding reference sound for the price and gamers will love them for the spatial awareness they provide. In addition, they’re also an excellent entry point into studio headphones if you’ve never used them.”

Major HiFi GOLD AWARD:
