Very much like you described, but I am sure it will be changing over the next few weaks of listening as they break in.
I will say out of the box they sound pretty darn good. The mids have a very nice sound. Very natural and life like. Not foward or laid back. Just natural.
Bass it tight and fast and not boomy. Dynamic? Time will tell. I will assume that will change after break in also, as it seems like they want to explode on demand. The bass is there for sure as I think my wife will love her dance music with these. I now think the bass on the VR-4jrs was heavy handed where I did have to adjust the tone controls on my amp. Now I can hear the difference since the tone controls are off.
The highs are crystal clear and not deafining. They are not bright or brittle.
But I have not pushed the volume yet. I will give them a few weeks first.
I thought my Vr-4jrs were nuetral sounding, but these really are IMO very neutral. They do not color the sound at all. I must admit though I do like a slightly foward midrange and these are not the case.
I have all the tone controls shut off and they don't sound flat or thick. They sound, dare I say like the music is suppose to sound.
When did yours open up fully where you noticed a difference?
