MajorHiFi: praised the 2nd Gen model for refinement rather than radical change, highlighting its expansive soundstage, precise low end and strong vocal presentation. Headphones.com: noted the V2’s strong, clean bass, articulate mids and crisp treble, especially when used without tuning inserts. ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ Warning: These walnut cups may cause sudden late-night album marathons, unnecessary cable comparisons and the dangerous belief that your phone has become a serious hi-fi source.
