A steal for $499.00. The Lyra IIs sound good enough to be an endgame IEM but are built rugged enough to be used out and about (at the gym for example). Very versatile IEMS. Extremely comfortable due to small size and their relaxed sound without sounding flat or lifeless means hours of fatigue free listening enjoyment! They also scale well so will sound even better and more like a full size headphone with higher end sources and desktop head amps.
