You don't like bright but you put S12Pro near the top and put IE600 towards the bottom. I own both and my experience is pretty much the complete opposite. Shows you how subjective this all is.A few comments on my taste: I prefer a warmer sound but with a clean low-end, the mid-bass can't be too much (like Meteor). I don't like bright, splashy headphones (IE600), but I appreciate the technicalities if they come along with this type of tuning (MEST and Variations). I have owned or listened to all of these IEMs long enough to be able to reliably compare their sound.

I don't care about graphs. Meaningless to me. The Sennheisers are hardly BRITE--that's ridiculous. the S12's are planar brite--you either like them or you don't--but they BRITE!!!S12 are an example of earphones where I don't mind them being slightly brighter. For my ears they are not that shouty and both bass and midrange compensate for this well. IE600s are shouty and thin, with no warmth in midrange. Probably surprising to many I also don't find their bass full and pleasing at all.
If you look at the graphs you can see that the trebles are peeking in different frequencies. Maybe we perceive the "shoutiness" more in other places...

Of course, it is subjective, that's why we should listen ourselves

Interesting to see Canon in S tier. Can you describe how it sounds?You don't like bright but you put S12Pro near the top and put IE600 towards the bottom. I own both and my experience is pretty much the complete opposite. Shows you how subjective this all is.
