Terriffic warm tuning only sinning by the lack of better bass dynamics. Treble is relaxed but "flat" with terrific extension. Works wonders for poorly recorded tracks.

Clean, neutral, balanced, technical, laid back, very detailed. Neutral tuning done right while being a little dynamic/engaging. Tip wise Azla spinfits for more detail, tangzu sancai regular for smoother.

Solid mid-bass, natural vocals, and detailed treble. Treble is a bit elevated, and upper mids feel a bit relaxed.
