The Clear MG renders piano in such an amazing and unique way that I have not heard any other headphone do, aside from other Focals like the Elex and original Clear. It retains the subtleties and dynamics of the real piano itself, you can feel the percussive strike completely uncompressed. The Clear MG really makes those type of percussive instruments like piano, cymbals, drums, chimes, etc, come alive. Not to say that it's not impressive with other instruments too, but that's really what stands out for me, the amount of realism and dynamics that come through. Also, comparing to my HE-500, the sense of front imaging is better to me on the Clear MG. Sounds feel like they are coming from specific point sources in front of me as opposed to all around and sort of indistinct like most planars I've tried.
