However out of the box they were just horrible: the bass was tubby and bloated, it just covered all low end with a huge foamy wave. But the worst thing were the mids – the lively and joyful voice of Rebecca Pigeon sounded as if she’d been singing the same song continuously for the last month and got bored to death with it. ATs have completely different presentation – vocals sound forward and bright, very flirty I’d say. The bright side of life was the level of detail and dynamics I have never heard before (I am not an experienced listener, though). Funk and electronics sounded just amazing – if only to forget the smeared low-end. The build quality is superb and the wearing comfort far surpasses the AT’s pretty cosy design.

I mostly agree with this except that the build quality is not superb in any way. They seem to enjoy falling apart.

Unless... you're a "hip-hop car audio lover"... you have to be "a believer to enter the kingdom of heaven" - that may not be me.
