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

Default neutral rec under 100$. ER2XR still better, but Titan S has better fit, timbre and stage. Easy to drive. Can get slightly shouty for my library. If you don't mind more bass, Olina is a better pick.

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.

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.
