I thought it will be helpful to have a thread that will focus on Naming 2 Headphones (IEMs or Headphones) that have Similar Sound Signature and Characteristics, but may differ in Sound Quality..
 
Rules:
 
1. Name only 2 Headphones (it could be: 2 Headphones or 2 IEMs or an IEM & a Headphone) that have Similar Sound Signature** 
 
2. Does not matter if the 2 headphones differ in Sound Quality
 
3. If there are two headphones with almost similar signature but differs in just one area, a formula or an equation can be used.
   
    Example 1: Headphone A = Headphone B + Sub-bass
   
    Example 2: Headphone A = Headphone B - Harsh Highs                        
 
4. Formula could also be used for sonic characteristics and mods. For example:
 
    Example 1: Headphone A = Headphone B + Wide Sound-stage
    
    Example 2: Headphone A = Headphone B + Better Isolation
    
    Example 3: Headphone A = Headphone B + Mod 'X'
 
5. I see there is a lot of potential for this thread to start heated conversations when comparing headphones. Let's try not to make this thread into a battlefield. 
 
We can improvise on the rules as we move forward...

Great thread idea!

Posted this thought on another thread already, but:

Dunu 2000J = Audio Technica m70x (but with better bass capacity (the Dunus, I mean))

Been travelling so I haven't actually heard my 2000Js in a few months so entirely possible this is all in my imagination
