There is plenty of space within the soundstage, and there are out of head experiences to be had, it’s really easy to pinpoint musicians within the soundstage however the overall softer sound leads to a little more restricted headspace.

Take off the lid and now we see an actual hard carry case with further protection around it and the user manual underneath, this is shaping up to be quite a good unboxing experience already!
