The shozy 1.4 is relaxed and laid back. The dynamic driver is mid bass focused so things have a good bump and thump. The balanced armatures provide clear and smooth upper mids and treble. The treble is very polite and maybe too rolled off for some. The echos and reverberations have a distant lingering quality, almost haunting, that presents a deep sound stage on a lot of tracks. Love it or hate it the treble is unique and gives this set a spot in my collection.
