Someone just made a post showing that they're now $150 on amazon. For that price are they actually that bad? The name only goes against them because I know they sound nothing like sundaras. But with eq, are they really worse value than other $150 closed backs? K371?

They are terrible without EQ. With EQ, they are very decent, and the stock FR while really weird the issues with it are quite broad, it's not narrow peaks, so it responds quite well to EQ. Technicalities are good.

Don't go near them if you aren't willing to EQ, but if you can EQ, absolutely. They're also super easy to drive so can easily run off a Qudelix or even a Moondrop FreeDSP cable.
