Solid warm neutral tonality with decent technicalities. Bass could use more dynamics and treble could use more air, but solid nonetheless. Good fit and great accessories.

More uniquely tuned than other planars. Tamer uppermids, not as energetic, but still with great bass separation and tech. Timbre is good.
