Genre
Soul & R&B
Soul and R&B masters hang on midrange: voice grain, horn bite, and bass that stays tuneful instead of blooming. Headphones often show the vocal close-up; speakers reveal the pocket and the room. Use Hi-Fi Score and best-sounding lanes to skip the loudness-war remaster that sands off the body.
