I’m trying out a pair of ATH-R70x and realized their earcups are so small that they don’t cover my ears at all, making them more like on-ear headphones. I’m wondering if this could be the cause for a suspicious lack of bass (as compared to the dt880s) I’m noticing…

    Unrelated but OP how would you compare R70x to HD650? Which one do you prefer? I have a R70x and thinking of getting a HD6XX from Drop. Not sure if the purchase is redundant since both seem to be kind of…similar ?

      R70x was a lot lighter and the headband was more comfortable. For HD650, I had to wear them for quite a few days before they became comfortable, but the earcups are much larger and completely covers my ears. Soundwise for me R70x was much brighter but that’s just because of the sealing issue
