I've owned both, they both sound good, I preferred Axiom for sound but think the Aperions have a better finish. The sound was more important to me, so I gave the Aperions to my brother in law who liked the sound but was even more impressed by their finish. I'm not an audiophile so this was my personal opinion, others may disagree.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
