When turned completely down, I found the Layla’s very neutral in their frequency response and basically flat across the audible spectrum. Swapping them out was a cinch and the locking mechanism; while simple to use, it did a fantastic job ensuring that the IEMs and cable were securely held together.

In fact, they are so comfortable; from time to time, I find myself checking to make sure they haven’t fallen out (even though the sound was still perfect). I haven’t felt this level of comfort since I used my (sadly now missing) UM56 custom ear tips. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The KANN’s aluminum mass is sculpted into a trapezoidal work of art that is remarkably natural to hold and use. Micro details of the background voices and banter were eerily portrayed, Dishes and glassware clanks enveloped me with such realism that it transported me to that Swedish Pawnshop.
