Meh

Maybe I am just not a planar sound type. It's not bad, I just expected more. IMO there's no stand out weakness, bass, mids, treble all sound good and neutral. Sound stage is quite good... it's just doesn't impress me especially. I was expecting the bass to be more thunderous reading about these huge drivers and it's just not. There's no harshness 8n the highs. I am no audio expert but there's something about the upper mids, electric guitar that sounds off, undefined? Scratchy kind off. I cannot articulate really what it is but it's not as real sounding. I will say that it's effective at giving a sort of far field listening experience and maybe it's that lack of a more direct sound signature that I don't particularly care for. It just didn't draw me in or have me peering into individual instruments. Maybe it's just that I have the Elex which I really like and this is simply not at that level. I was hoping considering the cost and how it seemed all the money went to the sound/driver tech as opposed to anesthetics and headband. The cable is plain sad. I'll recommend because it's honestly not bad, I'm sure others enjoy it, but for me it's just meh. Keeping it real.
