The treble is delicate, handling
upper register instruments such as cymbals, and chimes with a present, powdery glow.
To our ears, however, there are better alternatives for your money, such as the similarly priced TMA - 1, or Sennheiser's Momentum on - ears, both of which lend more natural flavor to organic
instruments, and push forth rich detail without the same bright sheen — for us, that balance between the lower and
upper registers is much easier to settle into.
The
upper register can be a little steely at times when rendering lighter acoustic
instruments, especially when listening to records that already lean that way, such as the colorful Pink Floyd bluegrass cover album, Pickin on Floyd.
