Separation or distancing of instruments rather than layering. It’s not so enjoyable unless you really like punchy, slamming dynamics. I don’t like them for regular use in many genres.
ELEAR, not Clear. The Clear is fantastically detailed and neutral. The Elear is a lower cost product. With a moderate retune it became the Mass(Drop) Elex. The Elex has less overwhelming bass, but still explodes songs.
Yes, it has a ton of glare. I spent a lot of time trying to reduce that…and now just use the Clear instead…
