Out of the box as promised. Sound balancing is superb. Clean airy excellent detail from treble to bass. These do sound like they are semi open. Sound is mature with a great sense of space. Love this cable it comes with. The whole package is supreme. I can honestly say Fiio does the open box experience justice.
Looking forward to reading your detail review. If possible also read the comparison with the same price brackets such as A7 and DM8.
Thanks
