for the Prestige Series Gold

Very good medium, lack of extreme-highs and extreme-lows (compared to Shure V15TVMR, subtle though).
The support for the attachment screws is made of plastic, and is fragile.

Product Weakness:	Frquency response not very extended (subjectively), fragile
Product Strengths:	Needle easy to change, excellent medium
