Those who are big fans of the Prestige Ltd, could you please comment:
1. What music do you find them good for
2. What kind of sound signature do you generally like in your IEMs? Are you treble sensitive? Into detail? Bass?
I listen to everything from blues/blues rock to classical to jazz (of all stripes and styles) to prog, post hardcore, punk, alternative and metal. I'm a professional musician (drummer and saxophone) and songwriter so I listen to all kinds of things to broaden my own musical palette.
I agree with @gentzen on the general description of the LTDs. They've got agile, well articulated bass and well extended, but not offensive treble though I'm not particularly treble sensitive and actually have plenty of examples of brighter tunings that I enjoy. The LTDs are an example of an IEM with plenty of detailed treble that I think most people would agree is neither dark, nor bright. The least talked about part of the LTDs is the mids because they are slightly recessed and the treble and bass are so well done. Personally, I think the mid presence, detail, and balance is actually very tastefully done for a mild U/V shaped tuning. They maintain great detail retrieval and clarity and, perhaps more importantly, they give you accurate tone, timbre, and presence which is something you often lose or compromise in tunings that elevate either end of the spectrum. The bass also remains clean and doesn't infringe on the mids so you don't get any added and unnecessary warmth.
I've said it on this thread before and I'll say it again, I have owned literally every model from the ThieAudio Tribrid lineup and the LTDs are the most impressive and versatile of the lot for me.
