The spectrum is far more neutral than most brands at that price, with great articulation throughout the range, and exceptional dynamics. I use these in my closet to hang my jewelry. They are basically just an expensive flip flop and when you add faulty manufacturing. Poofy and large for costume use I was surprised that the cheapest brand, Hanes, has not pilled, is comfy abd looks great on my son. Tembi paints the story of her life ,her love and Sicily so beautifully. I purchased these to go along with some Christmas Gifts, figuring they werent expensive enough to really hurt if it turned out they didnt last, and they werent cheap enough to be expected to break on arrival. I have been buying these exact same earphones for the past 5 years. I had in issue with the soul flexibility of a previous version and you really couldn?t drive with them. I did my homework looking for the best hiking sandals, which ultimately brought me to these.
