Sounds best with the BA switch off. Somewhat thin, mid-treble oriented sound.

Comment: Didn't buy since harmonics for cymbals too prominent. Inoffensive tuning, one of the more balanced sounding planars Soundstage and imaging are decent at best

Mid-treble heavy. Extention is great and bass has tactility to it. The BA switch is a joke - Don't use it.

Clean, balanced, neutral sound with good layering and tech. Relaxing vocals, but lacks power and last bit of vocal extension. Bass has good controll, but lacks impact. Has sizzly planar timbre in the treble. Safe but forgettable.

A detailed, engaging all-rounder that's exciting without being shouty or harsh. Smooth, neutral tuning with a bass boost, excellent bass quality, clean mids, forward vocals, and sparkly, incisive treble. Great detail. I wouldn’t change a thing.
