    Incredible sound. The horns, bass, keyboards, and drums all sound perfect and none of them overpower the others. My press has very light crackles in some areas, but I can’t focus on it because I’m too busy being mesmerized by the near perfect mix and sound quality. Highly recommend, I somehow got this beauty for only $9.99.
