Audio quality is not that impressive
Flat soundstage; slightly sibilant; ‘L’ and ‘R’ for left and right ears is nearly unreadable
I felt the low frequencies were too hollow sounding, even when compared to studio monitor reproduction of the same material, Flat sound reproduction isn't for everyone

The more I travel, the more I realize that my head was not designed for earphones. I can't find a comfortable pair of earphones anywhere, and I will not relegate myself to wearing a bulky set of 1980's headphones. I might as well strap a...
