The Phoenix is certainly a more conservative take on the warm-neutral signature, at least in comparison to other similar headphones like the HarmonicDyne Zeus or, god forbid, the AudioQuest NightHawk. It’senoughto tilt the headphone away from sterility and more focused towards instruments like cellos or male vocals, but not to the point where I’d label it as “bloated”, “cloying”, or any other related synonyms.
