X really brings out the chest voice aspect in an always present way. And I don't know the guy's voice, but the mic seems to add an extra midrange bite that I don't believe exists in the human voice acoustically, at least not in that way. It is not unpleasing, and metallic is much too strong a word, but it is leaning in that direction a bit. And it's not an unattractive aspect... not thin, wispy, edgy, 'pointy', brittle, etc.--like copper instead of aluminum. I periodically encounter inexperienced singers who seem to be singing to no-one in particular and this mic might help them to appear to have a message by adding '"ring" and focus to their performance. For me, it might be just a bit too much, though.
Y is less 'chesty', but not 'skinny'. It feels like the resonance of the capsule is higher in the frequency range than X. It is significantly more problematic in the sibilance area to me, at least on "our love is here to stay" near the beginning where the "S"s have sort of a 'ripping' sound--or I feel like they would if he really gave you a truly big "S"; they jump out more on this phrase than X. Same thing with the "T" in "oh, but my dear..." near the middle. That "T" just jumps out with Y, less so with X. The sound of the mic makes the singer's performance seem a bit more conversational, less powerful than X.
Sometimes I feel like X is a less complex sound than Y, but this is elusive. X is smoother, Y's upper mid & treble is more to my liking, except for the sibilance aspect. Actually, on my mains I feel like X is more 'manipulated' frequency-wise, Y is more natural over all, but still too forward in the mids & top for my taste. X feels like a mic I might use to accomplish a specific goal with a specific singer, Y to just go for a good sound if it was a good match with the singer's voice.
Sennheiser HD600's (which some say are bright). Just checked on my mains. Tough call to really accurately identify and describe the differences--especially because the performances differ slightly. To me, the mics feel related somehow though.
