Relaxed upper mid-range. Vocals sound a little bit more forward than instruments. Smooth treble performance.

High volume set, very immersive, scales great with no sharpness, wide staging, enough detail/extension, good bass, just crank it up and enjoy the music.

Very nice built and cable for the price. Sounds like a warm harman. Tech is good, but not too competitive at the price (EA500LM).

Perfect for rock and metal. Smooth, relaxing tuning, great bass with good slam, rich mid-range, safe treble. Upper mids may be too relaxed for some, treble is a bit dark.

B-
  • Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.

Average Technical Grade

Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.

Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.

Limited dynamic range with poor micro-detail. Subtle volume changes are lost, and transients lack proper attack.
