It feels funny giving this 5 stars for sound, but i did becase the sound is exactly how it should, for this product. It's a small mid heavy speaker that helps in the mixing process by showing you how your mix might sound coming from cheap speakers. It's really a helpful little box. I switch back and forth with these (in mono and stereo) and my Neumann speakers. This process has really helped my mixes. On the Auratones I can really hear clearly what needs some eq and what sounds are being drowned out in the mix wiithout any sweetening to confuse my decisions. Takes a little time to trust them but then the Auratones are a wonderful tool for getting great mixes.
