V shape sound signature
I’ve noticed a lot of people like to call an iem or headphone v shape without actually listening to the product. For example in iems there’s a trend where they boost the sub bass but the mid bass & lower mids is slightly recessed for a cleaner transition while having boosted upper mids & treble but I’ve noticed a lot of people will just say “oh it’s all just V shaped”
My final audio a5000 is known as a mild v shape sound which to my ears is correct as I’ve noticed the bass is strong & mids are a little recessed & some instruments in the song do feel like they’re more in the background while the clarity is there from the treble so it still sounds detailed.
The final a6000 on the other hand I’ve seen a couple of reviewers say it’s V shaped because of the lower mid range dip but in contrast it actually doesn’t have a lot of bass, it’s just the upper mids & lower treble/ upper treble is boosted people automatically will just say it’s v shaped. In comparison to the a5000 I feel like the a6000 is more mid range forward & I would classify it as neutral bright.
The same can be said about the sennheiser hdb630 I saw crinacle the guy who owns CrinEar iems, say the sennheiser is neutral with a bass boost, while super review said it’s v shaped & that he had to tone down the treble in the app.
I would like to hear your thoughts & if I’m wrong feel free to correct me
