close but no cigar. Sounded great for most genres but bass guitars and kick drums and instruments/vocals that lie the in mid-bass/lower-mids range sound too recessed. Noteweight leans thin and analytical. OG B2 gets my recc over this. Previously Owned

Bass-boosted meta tuning with excellent detail and a grand sound. Bass may be too much for some.

Warm leaning with thick, thumpy mid-bass that hits pretty deep and hard. Decent vocal and treble extension, although female vocals are warmer and huskier. Good for hiphop, rap, r&b, but low-end isn't fast enough for busier genres like rock for example. Bass texture and resolution is slightly soft and not very separated, hits really hard, but sometimes bass notes feels like they've mushed together into one note. Hype 4 is straight up a better version of the Davinci when it comes to low-end texture and separation, as well as overall resolution and vocal playback; and if you're ok with EQing the Hype 2's low-end those are better as well because they use the same isobaric design as the 4s (Low-shelf, 100hz, +2-3db, Q 0.5)

A little bit too bassy. imaging is impressive. If you are looking for a bassy set with great imaging, this is a good option.
