Headphoneus Supremus
The HEK v1 and SE were too hot for me as well. The v2 was closer. The Stealth has the bass timbre and impact above all of those, so its actually quite close to the Harman - but it is quite bright in the 5-6k area, and again around 12-16k. If I had them, I'd never run them without a PEQ.Well, it's a fair comment, that user of HE1000 series will feel many many other headphones out there have deficiency in treble quantity. I can't stand their bright treble at all.
Let me clear that up - the Emp is dark - by ear and FR graph. The Elite with the Hybrid pads is also below the Harman through large portions of its range per Crinicle. The Alcantara pads look to be a well better match, but I never heard them.There is no "OG" Elite. What you heard perhaps Empyrean? The lesser version with darker tuning than Elite.
