For vocal clarity and definition the AKG wins. But for genre versatility the original quadbeat 3 is the iem to go to.
To me the AKG can sound shrill and hollow due to lack of mid bass and boosted trebles. Vocals suffer a little here sounding dry at times, but still impresses with well recorded voices.
The orig having more but controlled bass sounds warmer; and its trebles are tamer, making listening to them easier on the ears. It plays many genres well without disappointing. Vocals though not as defined as compared to AKG still sounds clear. The warmer sound also results in fuller and thus natural vocals in my opinion. I feel the orig is really balanced yet fun and pairs really well with my mi note.
Overall I'm really, really impressed with what LG came up with. These iems can certainly beat many iems that cost well above not just in sound signature but also pricing as well.
