U-shaped, nice treble extention and dynamics, solid vocals, more low-end emphasis than MK3, dynamic and great all-rounder that doesn't specialize in anything.

Very technical and dynamic sound, with some funky tuning. Upper mid-range and treble can get in your face, but it works in the overall. Did not offend me.
