“Very high quality plasitc, amazing layout. You do have to get used to it but after that its great. Software for the screen could be improved. Sounds great without mods”
“The video says enough! This was supposed to be aluminum! There was nothing specifying on the website but the box said it was aluminum on the release video. Cheap abs plastic! This is a scam!”
