- Q4 202476/100
Buyers praised detailed sound and pinpoint imaging for gaming, but cited quality issues like loose drivers, hissing, and cheap cables. Fit and build concerns temper enthusiasm.
- Excellent detail retrieval and imaging for competitive gaming, with clear directional audio.
- Bass is detailed but not heavy; good for gaming, less so for bass-heavy music listeners.
- Defective units reported: loose driver in left earbud (low volume, clipping), hissing with 6.35mm adapter.
- Stock cable is fragile, short, and thin; stock tips need replacement for comfort and fit.
