I'm spending more time with DS this weekend and it's just tuned so impeccably well. What really puts it out in front of the crowd is that we don't lose on the technical front, either. Nice open stage, excellent res and timbre. I think there's secret sauce in the driver...
If you love earbuds I'm fairly sure you could just buy this set and with a little discipline, pull yourself out the rabbit hole and head off into the musical sunset never to be seen again...
