Sonically they are however the Super Fi 5vi inferior.
Basses are as usual restrained, details in the center are well reproduced.
The heights on the other hand are totally overloaded. Voices sound really flashy.
As was probably a bit too much "improved".
The cable is now angled, which is an advantage over the Super 5vi Fi.
However, the strain relief is still spartan than the previous model.
The remote control has been improved, it now also offers volume control (even if the buttons are a bit spongy).
Conclusion:
Some changes, including the critical in the wrong direction.
