Through my high end PC speaker setup all 3 sounded distinctly different, and the Kudos 505 sounded really good, my fav of the three. They do seem to have an upfront sound, as the What Hi-Fi review says accurately, but I would not dismiss them because of this.
Great music selection by this youtube channel as well.
