How do you describe to yourself:
1. Analytical
2. Closed
3. Diffuse
4. Dry
5. Flabby
6. Veiled
7. Clarity
8. Resolution?
Analytical: Can mean a few things. I usually use to indicate lack of body and warmth or just too much forwardness in the upper mids and treble. I can also see why someone would call a timbrally "dry" headphone (a la Beyer's cold metallic timbre) analytical but that's a different sort of coloration in my book. Analytical is mainly an FR thing.
Closed: Opposite of open. Not expansive. A lot of people refer to "intimate" sounding when they hear a lack of depth and staging, but to me that's just closed and not desirable.
Diffuse: It's like when you're trying to hear a spacial image but it's not quite solidifying. Hard to describe
Dry: Opposite of wet, current definition is good.
Flabby: Basically whenever you hear the driver out of control. You shouldn't be able to hear the thing trying to make bass; you should just hear the bass.
Veiled: Not clear? Lack of air and articulation.
