Rebalanced with a flattened V: cleaner bass control, smoother upper mids/treble and a mid-centric, forgiving tone that feels pricier than its bracket. At low volumes it can come off a bit dull compared to the OG’s brighter, boomier snap. Cleaner bass control, smoother treble and a mid-centric balance make it long-session friendly and pricier-sounding. Lower upper-treble air and low-volume engagement may feel too relaxed for gamers or boom-seekers.
Youtube Video Summary

Celest’s Wyvern Black Remaster brings a thoroughly reworked shell and acoustic package, with a brass nozzle and revised mesh, but the story is the tuning. The classic V has been flattened: bass is dialed down and tightened, upper-mids/treble are smoothed, and the whole response tucks just under the mids. The result is a warmer, more forgiving and noticeably more mid-centric balance that reads like a step up from the typical $20–30 set.

The bass shows markedly better control and tactility—mid-bass stays lightly lifted without the OG’s boom—while the softened upper treble removes glare and fatigue for long-session listening. This voicing benefits from a slight volume nudge to “align” bass, mids, and treble; at very low levels it can feel subdued. Listeners who prefer a sharper, brighter presentation (gamers, casual bass-boost fans) may still favor the OG’s lively snap.

Technicalities track the retune: reduced top-end noise and a more coherent, stage-aware presentation give a cleaner, more seamless soundstage that resembles pricier sets. The trade-off is less upper-treble air and apparent detail versus the OG’s lift, though a subtle +1–2 dB above 10 kHz can add a touch of sparkle if desired. Overall, this remaster’s rebalancing delivers a cleaner, more natural signature that punches above its price without flashy peaks.

Woohoo another harman/df! More bass than OG Zero, but doesn't feel as clean and open. Clarity is similar as OG Zero because of the boosted bass and decreaed treble. Z300 is a better version of this with more treble and better build/cable/packaging.
