Comment: Neutral with bass boost. A warmer, more musical Mest 2 without the treble peaks Treble might be too laid back compared to other flagships

Decent tonality and BC seems to work in the midrange, but low-level note definition.

U-shaped, nice treble extention and dynamics, solid vocals, more low-end emphasis than MK3, dynamic and great all-rounder that doesn't specialize in anything.
