A basshead set that's actually well-balanced for the most part. Extension on uppermids/highs are good but can get shouty, sub-bass texture and slam is impactful and satisfying - this is the set for most bassheads who don't want a crap ton of bass but still a good amount. Deuce better.

Technical, but thin, and bright tilt with LOTS of planar sizzle and timbre. Needs more low-end (small scoop), noteweight is very light, not peaky, but just artificial. Needs 10hm adapter to be balanced. Not a high volume set.

More mid-bass and less treble would be perfect Excellent bass quality, deep sub-bass, transparent mids, and great resolution. Low mid-bass, slightly lean vocals, and bright treble.

Not to my taste - treble sounds slightly brittle and harsh - but plenty of resolution and clean presentation.
