This is an excellent description of the Elex! That sense of deconstruction was the word I was subconsciously looking for in my review. I came into the headphone hobby as someone who did years of live audio mixing for church bands. So my ear has mostly been tuned towards isolating instruments in music and thinking of their characteristics and how they could be better (or worse). Hence the way my reviews are written. Also, I think it’s all those years of live audio and practice that has made me rather immune to treble. Nothing like having drummers crash away at their kit while you’re standing 3 feet away trying to set up stage monitors.
