I personally didn't like them as much as the originals.. I thought they were a little more bright up top..And IIRC I think Zilch bypassed the MF adjustment.So they give you less tonal control...I may be wrong on that it has been awhile since I tried them. YMMV however.. Like with all audio testing and determining sound preferences, it is really something that should be done for ones self. As what sounds good to me may not sound good to you and so on..
