Fast and clean bass but still rumbly and punchy. Beryllium DD baby. Well-seperated mids, and vocals still pop and aren't buried like other bass sets. Can use more treble extension (fixed with AZLA sedna tips).

The party starter. Very very warm, but fun. Different from anything else. Treble and mids somewhat ok even after all the warmth. Mid-bass is very good.
