Neutral bass glide, full mids, and decent treble extension. Some masking and not as technical vs blessing series, but better note-weight and timbre/tonality. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Musical, slightly out-of-head presenation at the expense of blunted transients. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Good imaging chops and bass texture. Tonality is mostly fine but lacks some sharpeness to it, but a solid performer nonetheless. Great accessories.

Endgame "balanced-basshead" set. Amazing low-end texutre, rumble, reverb, slam, and more bass than Origin and Titan - goes harder than those. Vocals and treble also still well extended, not congested, or cramped staging. Good balance while giving amazing fun bass. Recommend Azla Sedna light blue tips for more air, or Divinus Velvets. EQ down -3dbs at 250hz, low-shelf, 0.5 Q, and you'll get the Endgame IE target (my all-rounder target). Jays Audio Youtube Channel
