I was going to ask you how's Elegia compare to the rest of the gangs, then I read reduction in 3k-4k then I'm like NOPE NOPE it's everything I look for in music (string instruments, female vocals).

LOL I was ready to buy Elegia but thanks for steering me away.

I own both Clears and Elegia and a bunch of IEMs and, yeah, the Elegia out-of-the-box has a kind of terrible tuning because of the aspects OP described. With EQ however, they can be a good budget alternative to the more recent Focal closed-backs (which, to be fair, I have not tested).

Keep reading Radiance is the best one, might give that a try at a later point. Just not a fan of the Bentley branding.

the branding locks tacky, otherwise very beautiful headphones. Seems to be a nudge ahead of the Celestee, according to Resolve.

LOL yeah seems like Celestee has been an odd headphone in the lineup, only thing got it going is the price point.

Otherwise it sounds like Radiance is much better.

LOL yeah the stock tuning is really not to my taste either. if you're looking for a closed back, I recommend looking into Aeon closed backs like the X or Noire if you can afford it. Their stock tuning is excellent imo. But to me, I do think eqing makes elegia so worth it because the technical performance really is up there for a closed back
