Good tonal balance and technicalities, but decay is truncated which results in etched timbre. Dynamics are also dull.

Metalic timbre with fast decay. A little more enphasis around 4.5k than I would like, but overall pleasent tuning. Very technical, just lacking some dynamics and treble refinement.

Natural vocals, good treble extension, bass is tight and more resolving vs 61t and Davinci. Overall very well balanced and clean. There are some small peaks at 8-10k and 15-20K which can be an issue on some songs, and there is masking around 4-8k region, but overall, solid all-rounder.

Shines when driven properly. Excellent bass, vocal-forward tuning, and natural timbre. Hard to drive, could use more treble extension.
