Here’s where the difference between the two is the biggest in terms of technicalities, the MAD16 feels like it doesn’t quite have the same extension and detail retrieval as the MAD24. That’s not to say it’s bad, far from that, it still has a ton of detail, but comparing the two side by side there’s a clear difference. To me, the cymbals on the MAD16 had a bit too slow of a decay which sometimes made them sound a bit crowded, especially on busy metal tracks like “Judas Priest – Painkiller” (intro drum solo). 


MAD24: Vast soundstage with an ability to get really close and intimate when needed. Extremely precise imaging within a sphere around the head rather than just in 2 dimensions. Thanks to the amount of air it also maintains a clear separation between instruments witch help the stage feel vast even more.


MAD16: About 70-80% of the stage of the MAD24, still relatively big for an IEM, but due to a warmer and richer natural with less air it doesn’t have that grand nature. It can, however, present certain tracks with a greater sense of intimacy than the MAD24 do.
