Play something stripped-down, like Ben Howard’s Old Pine, and the Jamos immediately please thanks to a luscious, rich bottom-end.
The problem is that as tracks build, the bass feeds up to the mid-range and slightly drowns out the treble.
They’re still very chunky and enjoyable, though, and the remote/mic makes them handy for iPhone users.
