Pros
Exceptional bass depth and physicality with zero muddiness, holographic soundstage that feels massive, and stunning hand-painted design that looks far more expensive than its price.Cons
Slightly dark treble lacks airiness for some genres, and larger shells may cause fit issues for small ears during extended use.Hisenior Mega5-EST User Reviews
