After listening for a short time, he felt very light to wear, against his large appearance. When playing sound, the sound field is wide. The sound field is so wide that when I first started playing it at low volume, I wondered if the sound was coming from my smartphone’s speakers. When you raise the volume to a certain level, the sound at the low end is soft and rich in volume, but the vocal range is sharp and comes out firmly to the front. In songs played and sung, the vibration of the classical guitar strings is clearly visible, but the sound is a little closer to the low end. The sound gave the impression that I wanted to relax and enjoy it.

The plug part of the cable can be replaced, and in addition to 3.5mm and 4.4mm, USB-C is also included. The USB-C plug section is equipped with a high-quality DAC, so you can enjoy high-quality sound even when connected directly to your smartphone.
