Comment: Extremely balanced sound, my go-to for vocal tracks. Mid-focused, minimal BA timbre, vocals intimate and forward Low end is not the most dynamic, bass layering can be difficult to pick out

Great vocals. Clean and neutral signature. A bit vanilla and "boring" but scales great with volume.

Endgame "balanced-basshead" set. Amazing low-end texutre, rumble, reverb, slam, and more bass than Origin and Titan - goes harder than those. Vocals and treble also still well extended, not congested, or cramped staging. Good balance while giving amazing fun bass. Recommend Azla Sedna light blue tips for more air, or Divinus Velvets. EQ down -3dbs at 250hz, low-shelf, 0.5 Q, and you'll get the Endgame IE target (my all-rounder target).
