Clean, uppermids focused with slight scope at 500hz that can make it sound clinical and sharp in female vocals, however, great resolution and great for acoustic instrumentals.

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.

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. Perfect for rock and metal.

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