I come from the time ok Klipsch Image S4’s, Monster Turbines, Denon headphones… I think the Philips Fidelios were in there… I don’t remember the others…
But none of those are made anymore. What are the current offerings? Also amps or DAP’s? Do Sony’s still have their Clear Bass? I remember it being amazing on an MP3 player but is pretty Meh in the app for my XM5’s
Yeah I am treble sensitive so I find them highly fatiguing. Which is a shame because I do think they sound great… For 5 minutes until my ears hurt. EQ helps but I got annoyed fiddling with the settings.
And yeah I really recommend something like EMU Teaks for sub bass. Like you said open backs usually can’t extend that low unless you’re blasting the volume haha.
