Well what you’re describing isn’t as much FR-related as it is dynamics-related.What’s funny is I don’t consider the Indigo colorful or exciting. And if the mentor has even softer highs it wouldn’t be for me. I think for metal in general u need more of a bite in the treble for the music to be engaging or it just winds feeling congested and flat. Of course maybe I’m just being crazy bc now that I’m into the hobby I can’t get out![]()
Mentor does have boosted mid treble which makes it very sharp on “bite” and transients.
I was listening to some Mastodon and Tool earlier with Mentor and it was fantastic - best I’ve heard.
But no, it’s probably not the best iem for metal
