First listening impressions: good and different from the other $30-40 earphones I know! Very sparkly, vivid, three-dimensional, natural sound with a good slam in the nicely textured and focussed bass that is very pleasant [to addictive] on my ears. Treble may be a bit much, not sure yet. Bigger stage than (my) average. Much more life in these than in my (replacement) V60.
These are definitely good, enjoyable earphones with a refined sound...and not the disappointment reported by some. A winner!
