I#8217;m not that familiar with audio gear and technology, but I do know that getting quality sound from earphones almost always comes with a high price tag.

Take this with you to the beach and you#8217;ll certainly be the center of attention, mostly because a lot of people won#8217;t know what the heck this huge polygon with numbers is.
