Firstly, its frequency response is very heavy on the midβrange, which is the section of any mix that is most likely to survive to the listener: a comparatively limited number of playback systems manage serious lowβfrequency output, and high frequencies are very easily lost if a playback device is heard off-axis or acoustically shadowed. The result is that if you get your balance right on an Auratone it's much more likely to translate across a wide range of speaker systems, both loβfi and hiβfi.
