CLEAR with LOTS of detail. Nice sub-bass rumble with no mid-bass bleed. Treble is super extended as well as high-mids. Female vocals sound lively and sings, but can be too much at high volume and overly thin. Great imaging and separation. Artificially boosted treble, too sharp.

Great bass dynamics and well done mid-range. Treble extension is great but a hair too elevated.

A brighter Oracle. Shouty upper-midrange and artifical sounding treble response.
