Tonal Profile
Same 100 dB/mW as the AD500X but at 38 Ohms instead of 48, so it draws more current for the same level while needing less voltage — the two models are not the same load despite the identical sensitivity figure. Open, wide, and famously light on bass; the appeal is placement of detail, not weight.
