I don't know that I'd say the CIs sound harsh because "they are brutally revealing". I'd also note that @chungjh 's statement was "…I feel like there are times when I feel the sound is harsh sometimes and not as clear as I would like." That sounds to me like these issues are present at times but not all the time and probably less than half the time. If the issue was an innately harsh speaker then I think the statement would have been simply that the sound was harsh and not as clear as wished, with no qualification such as "at times", or at the very least he would have said "most of the time" instead of "at times".
