I never really watch movies through a headset, but the audio track on this just wasn't good. Not sure if it's an issue from Kino or the mixing has always been less with this film (can't compare since I don't own any other releases).

I was talking about video quality only on my statement and didn't recall this issue cause I noticed it right to the start when I watched it and switched immediately to my headphones and after that the problem was solved. But if you listen it through normal TV audio canal there is definitely a problem and they could have provide English or English SDH subs to face it.
This is the only cons regarding this release so far.
Yeah, the video is great and easily the best this film will ever look. I'm not sure why Kino didn't add subtitles someone working on this release must've noticed the audio, right? Usually Kino releases do have subtitles, so it really baffles me.
I looked at some reviews of the release and the only one I saw mentioning the audio was the one at blu-ray.com:
While stillness permits some clarity to dialogue exchanges, the track often deals with action, and such activity encourages a level of competition as elements battle for sonic control. Scoring is dialed up too high, frequently overwhelming performances, which also have a tendency to disappear when the actors speak in hushed tones. Lines are lost here and there.
