These come pretty close to sounding like being before actual performances.
Exceptionally natural sounding. Unlike too many "exceptional" earphones, these don't jump out as being exceptionally strong in one or several sonic characteristics, which may be pleasing in the short term, but certainly is NOT natural. Reality does not seem unnaturally exceptional in certain ways. Very nice to be allowed the actual performance sound be so accurately replicated. For example, no boomy exaggerated base emphasis, yet sub-sonics which are in some recordings are clearly evident as non-sound pressure waves that I've heard in some natural environments. That's how those original performance experiences were.
