As a senior test engineer, I used to rely on very specific criteria in evaluating products and services. But when some opinion makers call their impressions reviews and even give points up to hundredths of a percent, that was quite rare, but anyway, it all looks very strange and in some way...- nihil23

I can agree with this, very fast and textured bass, good midrange and sufficient upper frequencies without sibilants. Technical fast death and black metal sound very good. But the most important thing is that Mike Patton's vocals sound great- nihil23

Yes, I didn't find fr too and asked him about fr graph, and he said its same as SR5. But I doubt because it has vented dd, should have slightly different sound signature. They also had h1 version, but I can't find it on AliExpress right now- nihil23

This shows how much the sphere of headphones is super-marginal, they also buy all these dynamics and ba not at the prices that are indicated for retail sale, but noticeably lower.
