For those who favor monitors that add a judicious touch of mid-bass and upper midrange/lower treble emphasis, touches that add a quality of warmth and vibrancy to the music, the T2 Classic could be just what the doctor ordered. Add to this exceptional earpiece construction featuring ultra-comfy (and ultra-quiet) “40 Shore Silicone” material and you’ve got a top-tier contender at an unexpectedly reasonable price (though the firm’s new T2 Live! models will certainly bear watching and listening).
We regard the ACS Custom earpieces, in particular, as standard setters in terms of comfort, security of fit, and overall noise isolation.
