Built construction, low end, stereo field, depth are awesome, but top airy end is totally missing. Linearized with some softwares such as VHS by Hornet Plugins they are just incredible, but for this price, as a producer, I would have expected a truly flat response. Had to send them back. There are some competitors that give a better comprise for a considerably lower price. Give a try to Sennheiser 58X for example.
