I like Neutrally fun headphones.

What people call an "analytical" sound is a coloration that stems from insufficient dynamic range and desaturated tone color. Both are colorations, and wouldn't exist in a well and truly neutral headphone, if there ever could be such a thing. My personal sound is neutral tonally, dynamic, detailed, and above all else, fluid. The ES2 is a lot like that, though it could use more instrument separation, and better performance at the frequency extremes. Still, it has a very good midrange tone, rather HD600-like, is very dynamic, and is very liquid-sounding. Hopefully the UE11 or ES3X or whatever else I get my hands on next will have these virtues too. |
