Great achievement at this money. Sound is communicative and detailed and they're comfortable

For
Good sound for the money, comfortable
Against
Not much refinement or weight

These bizarrely monikered headphones feel a bit cheap, but then they are cheap, so that’s okay, and at least they’re comfortable.

Unsurprisingly, there’s not much refinement or weight here, but they’re admirably direct, communicative and detailed, and they avoid harshness. At this money, that’s a great achievement.
