A- Tuning
B+ Tech
T10 PRO better. Unique tuning with "speical sauce", warm but also sparkly in the treble without the uppermids becoming shouty (tamer uppermids). Great for kpop/jpop/pop and even hiphop and rock. Gives you that splashy ocd feeling in the treble but also still warm. Timbre is decent, not as offensive as the other planars. Vocal details/texture does take a step back as a trade off for less shout.
