I have owned the Encore for years, from 2017 until now, where they are now making a friend of mine happy.I love mids and and Katana would be suited for vocals and instruments more than Encore from what i read, looks like Encore has more bass and highs, instead of katana is smother on highs and mids are "the star of the show"
This is what i understood reading reviews and comparisons...
Encore = All rounder, but very technical, but very musical. Super high speed (transients). Short decay. Good tones.
Can be a little "hot" (treble), so you need to carefully choose the fellows cable and tips.
Superlative results with Plussound Tricopper x8 or Plussound GPS x8 (even better) and Sedna Xelastec tips, and, better, Rapgo Adaptive Eartips...
This being said, if you are looking for a syrupy, calm, peaceful rendition... It is better to choose something else.
