All in all, good for some things, not good for others.

Next time you get that feeling, read this:

-steveHi John,

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. :)

I wonder if a lot of the criticism is actually directed at the Studio version.
It's response curve looks like it extends more into the high, high end and
has less of a mid bump. Who knows.

I never thought I'd say this about anything, but I love them more than PARIS.
:)

Cheers!

Mike
