Use EQ and swap the tips. Overly dark and muddy otherwise.

Best of the class technology (especially ANC). You can achieve good tuning with EQ, but stock is a bit congested/veiled. Too pricey. Best option if good tuning with great ANC is the priority and budget is not a restraint.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
D- Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
D- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.
Bass
D+
Bass is light and underwhelming. While some faint rumble exists, it lacks punch and authority in any meaningful way.
Mids
D+
Midrange is significantly uneven with coloration. Some frequencies are boosted while others are missing, creating an unnatural tone.
Treble
D-
Treble is noticeably dark and lacking extension. Cymbals lack shimmer and high-frequency details are obscured.
Dynamics
C-
Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.
Details
C-
Average resolution - reveals basic elements but misses subtleties. Satisfactory for casual listening but lacks refinement.
Imaging
D-
Poor instrument placement with unstable positioning. Instruments drift and lack fixed locations within the sound field.
Gaming
D
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Value-to-cost may not be optimal for gaming-focused users.
