Really dynamic. Bass can be a bit much in quantity sometimes (for me) and upper mids can be a bit intense (at that line where things could be shouty but never crosses into that territory). Good note weight and timbre. Stage is wide. Good details, and decent separation. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong with this!
