It depends on what sound you like. The. Have a small soundstage and are very open. They have great dynamics and the bass has a good punch to it even tho it rolls of and lacks a bit of sub bass.

They sound really detailed and clear, have nice and a bit forward mids, with clean highs that aren’t as sharp as Beyers.

I like them overall and if you like sennheisers I believe you will like the clears too.

How would you say the radiance compares?

More harmanish tuning, still a bit brighter tho (compared to tuning them with oratory EQ).

They definetly have more but not as punchy bass and lack a bit of the clears dynamics.

They have good imaging but can’t really make sounds come from behind you if that makes sense (at least while playing games they didn’t do that well), while imaging from left to right is quite good tho.

They are really clear too and don’t lack too much of stage compared to the clears (they kinda have the same soundstage tbh).

The stock cables are better with the radiances but still awfully uncomfortable to use.
