I like to hear tunes that are well balanced. The ALO-780 does just that - great details, refined highs (this is a surprise) and solid textured bass with a tonally correct full range. It is less "meaty" that an Edition 9, but you feel a fresh, relative light weight (i.e fast and agile), yet organic sound. I listen to it attentively for 2 hours and have no signs of fatigue. Very enjoyable.

But it is the most neutral headphone ? I don't think so. It does add the right colour to the tunes that make it easy to the ears.
