Bright set with lots of treble detail. Airy, splashy, and shimmery with great extension. Isn't sharp or metallic in the timbre, but not 100% "natural" either, comes down to preference. Mid-volume set, good with slower genres, not rec for high energy tracks, can get much at higher volumes. Favors female vocals, male could be a bit light and could use more power, but vocals aren't thin or shrill sounding like the Oracle MK2s. Not gonna float everyone's boat, but it's a unique listen (not the same planar tuning yay) and worth having as a collectors piece.
