streaming the 16-bit/44.1kHz master of Dennis Wilson's River Song from his Pacific Ocean Blue album through the S2s, the soundstage is expansive and detailed, with layered harmonies and atmospheric textures that are clearly heard. The vocals are centered and there's a good low-end extension.

One area in which the S2s fall short is in EQ control You can increase or decrease treble and bass by 6dB, but there aren't any EQ presets to help determine the right balance. The majority of listeners won't be concerned about this however those who prefer to alter their audio have to look elsewhere.
