It’s an interesting experience. I thought the sound would be fuller, it seems a little thin but spatially is definitely comparable to over-ears. I can imagine mixing with these would be far superior to any other earphone.
Completely understand everyone’s thoughts on the rubbing of the earphone cable. It should definitely be cabled with a material that causes less disruption.
I’m still in my first few weeks experiencing the earphones properly so haven’t done side by side comparisons, but in summary since I got them heavily reduced I’m satisfied, it I’d have paid RRP this would be a lesser rating, still a worthwhile experiment!
