The strongest point of the hex is that it makes you feel like your listening to speakers very wide and 3D The bass is typical hifiman very tight not booming. I use these for mainly jazz light rock r&b I would not know how to rate on edm, but on the music I listen too these capture my ears and keep me entertained for long sessions The instrument separation lets you hear everything note very well The treble is rolled off producing a very relaxing but never boring sound
