SoundMagic chose sides: the sound detail against an impossible search for bass. At least, this company is smart, rather than trying to recreate bass with ITE, something almost impossible, she plays the card of sound detail in background. We hear each instrument of the orchestra is very analytical without being cold, there is a beautiful malgres any musicality. It is a product we love or hate. Obviously, for those who like low fat and a huge Monster Beats .. it does not do so. I find this great helmet for classical music.
