Warm tuning, really easy to listen to Treble isn't really well defined, separation between midrange and lower midrange isn't great either

A little bit thick and poofy in the bass. Aful Explorer is better option.

More uniquely tuned than other planars. Tamer uppermids, not as energetic, but still with great bass separation and tech. Timbre is good.

Treble C-
The top end sounds acceptable but lacks the smoothness of higher tiers. Air is hinted at more than delivered.

Lateral spread stretches comfortably while front/back cues start to feel convincing. You can trace front-to-back movement.
Gaming B-
Moderate spatial presentation conveys general directionality. Suitable for casual play where precision isn't critical.
