Highly resolving planar with unremarkable acessories. Wonky harmonics, too much treble energy, fatiguing tuning.

Least planar, almost doesn't sound like one. 3K gain can be a bit much, tech very similar as the other ones.

Treble C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.
