Etymotic MK5
Etymotic HF5

I'm basically looking to know if I should get the ER4SR or ER4XR. I like clean bass, and I'm not a bass head, but does the SR have too little? Are they comparable to my current HF5s?

>>62256617

>>62256687
ER-4SR.
>Are they comparable to my current HF5s?
Bass response should be the same. Overall sound signature will be very close to your MK5. HF5 is close to an ER-4P; flat bass with sharper treble rolloff than ER-4SR. ER-4X4 is an ER-4SR with extra bass.

>>62257071

Wrong, they have slightly recessed sub bass.

HD600's 30 Hz response is even with 1 kHz response when measured with a proper seal. This is more than adequate sub-bass response considering most music lacks fundamental tones below 40 Hz.

>slightly recessed sub bass
That's not a slightly recessed sub bass thats a steep roll off, HD800 has a something that can qualify for slightly recessed sub bass, LCD 2 has a flat sub bass.
>>62257507
On one of your measures in the bottom left corner there is an easily visible roll off, same thing for golden ear that have their own compensation curve that HD600 fail to meet anyway. Cherrypicking different measurements from god knows where won't work with me, I am not a plebposter but HD600 struggle with sub bass and there is no way around it.
>any suggestions for something similar
You had that creamy version? HD600, literally an upgrade, I upgraded from 598 as well, slightly smaller soundstage but much better imaging and improvement in the rest of the sound overall. Only things to note is worse comfort, grip much heavier and less roomy pads, plus you will need most likely an amp, they sounded good from my mac book but with amp everything improved esp bass, it became less loose.

>>62257594
>On one of your measures in the bottom left corner there is an easily visible roll off
Only because the measurement goes down to 10 Hz, which you can't hear. The measurement you just posted is poorly sealed and thus invalid.

>>62257383
HD600, obviously.

>>62257594
-6db at 20hz is not too bad, those other 2 headphones are also 3x the price

>>62257812

Your onboard soundcard could drive them, i have an "h97 gaming" and it is loud as hell in max, didnt find any noise on it but never really use them too long with onboard since i have an external DAC

deeper sub-bass extension, flat mids and rolled off treble. The he-400i have deep bass but a roll-off at 30hz (they still go down to 20hz), clean mids with some upper mid bumps and a 9khz peak. They both have a planar magnetic sound, but the lcd-2 is definitely the more accurate headphone in both objective measurements and my subjective experience.

What's a high end endgame headphone with the following:

>forward mids, especially upper mids
>rolled off treble
>wide soundstage
>deep bass extension but neutral in quantity

Just convinced a 4th person to buy a pair of HD 600s

>>62258135
It isn't "high end" if you can't describe it as "neutral mids, neutral treble, neutral bass."

Is there a better open headphone than the AKG K712 for around 200EUR? I live in eurocuckland, so I have to pay +30-50% extra for most electronics compared to US prices. I wanted to get HD600/650s originally, but fuck paying 150-200 EUR more. Check amazon.de for prices and availability.

I'd be using it for music heavy on female vocals i.e a lot of weeb stuff, electronic/ambient instrumentals, and some jazz and EDM here and there. Also a lot of media consumption, so it'd have to be comfortable enough that I could easily forget that I'm even wearing it. Already have a fiio E10K to drive it.

>>62258188
HD579. K712 sounds like fried chicken and stolen bikes.

>>62257638
It still rolls off before 20hz, Tyll measurements indicate roll off as well and I would rather trust someone who frequently in contact with researchers and headphone manufacturers covering things in detail than random graphs.

>>62257677
There are HE400i or AKG712, not without flaws like uneven midrange and in case of K712 loose bass but thats the thing, HD600 has it's strong and weak points while other have theirs.

>>62258188
K712 would be a terrible choice for female vocals. Female vocals need upper midrange and that's the frequency range K712 is most deficient in. I would suggest Sennheiser HD579.

>>62258206
are you the same anon who thinks two headphones will sound and perform the same if their FR graphs are the same?

>>62257788
what about cables with difference impedance?

>>62258229
If the linear response is practically the same they'll sound practically the same outside of distortion, soundstage and resonance. Distortion, soundstage and resonance aren't going to make the K712's bass not sound like watermelon and menthols.

>>62258224
>>62258206
Thanks, that one is even a bit cheaper. Wish I could compare them in person, but there are no decent shops nearby.

Still debating a little about biting the bullet and springing for HD600 instead, but I feel like there would be a lot better options for 350-400EUR considering how damned overpriced it is here.

>>62258295
>If the linear response is practically the same they'll sound practically the same outside of distortion, soundstage and resonance
>they'll sound practically the same
>outside of distortion, soundstage, resonance
wow what a fucking genius comment.
so they'll sound the same if they have the same FR, but only if you disregard all other variables that could make them sound differently

>>62258336
>Distortion, soundstage and resonance aren't going to make the K712's bass not sound like watermelon and menthols.

>>62258304
HD600 is certainly the best possible headphone for female vocals and worth saving up for.
>but I feel like there would be a lot better options for 350-400EUR
Nope.

>>62258343
I don't care about the k712, and I'm not arguing for, or against, the k712. I'm asking you if you think that headphones can sound differently but have the same FR

well i don't see how you can go wrong sound quality wise. There's no way to find out which sound signature you will actually like because everyone's (outer) ear is different before even coming to the subjective part of it.

only problem with both is that neither headphone's build quality is going to be great (despite costing like $200-$300 already).

>>62258391

V6 or M40X whatever is under 100 on australia

>>62258304
check out the he-400i. I listen to Melody Gardot and Candice springs all the time and female vocals are clean and clear on them.

>>62258420
Only way I can get a v6 is from Amazon and that takes about a month to ship. As a matter of fact everything is absurdly overpriced here if you don't buy online and our online options are fucking nothing.

I was thinking of M40x or M30x but I kinda want something decent for gaming.

>>62256864
hifiman he 500's and 560's are far better as well.

is the AKG K240 still decent?

was it always $54? headphone prices are so weird to me now. A lot have been depreciating with just the past few years for some reason.

>>62258463

The M40x is much better then the M30x, if you want a headset the hyperX is good, but i would still go for the M40x for both gaming and music.

>>62258356
Nice, I'll definitely consider it then. I assume for my use case it'd be a clear winner over the 650 too?

>>62258396
Yeah, I really wish I'd have access to a well-stocked audio shop, but unfortunately I have to rely on reviews alone. Shame about their build quality though, they already look a bit flimsy even in promotional pictures.

>>62258461
That one looks promising too, not to mention cheaper, thanks for the suggestion, I'll be looking into that one.

Looking around, I found the ATH R70X in the same price range as well, with a lot of people drawing comparisons between that and the HD600. Worth considering?

>>62258496
Of course. They have just lost out on recommendations since the SHP9500 and HD558 exist around the same price

>>62258514
just go for the AKG K712. The prices for the HD600/650 look retarded in your area. How is Sennheiser cheaper in the US than in Germany?

the plastic is going to be sad but it's going to be good enough to take the abuse as a daily headphone. No point hesitating over which one to get if you can't even hear both in the first place so just get the one that's a better value money-wise. The K712 has bigger memory foam earpads so those are definitely going to be more comfortable. Both the HD600 and 650 will never know that feel.

if you're looking into closed full-sized headphones as well, then the MSR-7 and the SRH1540 are probably your only choices since the PM-3 is retardedly priced in your area too.

>>62258595
>I do like some good bass though
TFZ series 5

>>62258599
I can't get over this pricing either. And amazon.de is one of the cheaper options, local stores (Hungary) are even more retarded. For example, all of them are selling ATH AD900X for 320EUR, when that one is worth half as much at best.

The K712 is definitely the most attractive one just because of value, I'm just worried about them not being a great fit for female vocals. If it means anything, I'll be coming from bass-heavy closed headphones.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJZESO84stY

Anything comparable to the Sennheiser HD 579 under 150 bucks USD? Looking to save a bit of money but I don't want to compromise alot of audio quality.

>>62258514
>I assume for my use case it'd be a clear winner over the 650 too?
Yes. HD600 are neutral. HD650 are warm.
>>62258661
>I'm just worried about them not being a great fit for female vocals.
They're awful for female vocals.
>If it means anything, I'll be coming from bass-heavy closed headphones.
You'd be going to bass-heavy open headphones with K712.

>>62258595
HJE120 for maximum comfy. Yes, they're cheap. Yes, they're comfier than anything else. Yes, they're surprisingly good sounding. No, you can't do any better for your needs. Buy two pair and keep one as backup.

They still have a relatively bright AKG sound. The bass isn't bumped that much compared to the K701, they just sound less harshly bright.

You don't really need it, as you already have a soundcard with an amp in it. Use the "extra dollar" in getting good headphones, such as the HD600. They make much more of a difference than amps, dacs and cables.

If you can't afford the HD600 (which is god-tier for female vocals), look into the HD579. The k712 won't be anywhere as good in female vocals.
>fiio e10k
Should have gotten a Fulla 2. The e10k will definitely fall short with k712 or HD600 at loud volumes. It will be decent with HD579.
>>62258514
Yes, HD600 will be better than HD650 most of the time, including your use case.
>>62258304
Yes, stretching your budget for HD600 is the way to go. Headphones past a certain price point are pretty much for decades, after all. Your e10k will be better than having no amp, but even your motherboard (if it's a newer one with builtin headphone amp; look up the audio chipset, listed in your motherboard vendor specs) will probably drive these better than the e10k.
If your motherboard has no amp or in the future, look into schiit stack, jotunheim or the cheap DAC-X6.
>>62258391
With that budget,
If it has to be closed (bad value!) then status CB-1, mdr-v6, mdr-7506, m40x. You might get lucky with HD569 or HD380 Pro on a sale. Avoid m50x and HD598Cs like the plague.
If it can be open (good value!) then HD558 (not 559!!!), SHP9500S. On sales/secondhand you'll sometimes see HD579 or the worse but still excellent if so cheap HD598se/sr.
>>62258733 >>62259138
Yes, at that price HD579 is the superior choice. The cheaper next best thing is HD598, and after that the HD558. Only after that the DT880, which if not obvious enough, is absolutely not worth it at its usual pricing.
>>62259066
Means your (old) DAC had some sort of issue, such as noise or too high output impedance. Or you needed an amp, and your new DAC has one built in.

>>62258514
>R70X
i have these and i'm extremely happy with them. i demo'd them against hd600, 650, and dt880s. they are definitely worth trying

>>62258947
K bye faggot

>>62259066
a lot of factors go into amplification. Does your dac have a built in amp? It's probably the amp making the most difference. Well designed dacs are almost all transparent

>>62259256
The fulla 2 is nice, but it wasn't an option at the time I bough it, I just needed a quick fix for an incredibly noisy on-board audio. Definitely looking to upgrade to a schiit stack though, but headphones come first.

At his point I'm honestly not sure if I'm being memed about the HD600 or they're really that good, so I'll have to listen to them myself.

>>62259327
It's just weird how few people are writing about them. They look well-built and comfy, and are priced more competitively even in the EU. Definitely tempting.

it's beyond that. This is a bean counter cost cutting build for the sole purpose of making the headphone as cheaply as possible at the expense of durability. The decision had nothing to do with driver impedence, and more to do with saving money on building the headphone while making them prone to mechanical failure.

It was a decision made to increase the modularity of the headphone without requiring soldering. Most other headphones require you to solder to remove the drivers, but the HD600 ones just pop out allowing easy replacement if necessary. I'm sorry you don't like modular headphones.

Alright, here's the deal: it's almost the end of 2017 and I've been using strictly only wireless Bluetooth headphones for the couple last years, simply out of principle and to gather all the needed first-hand experience on this entire "wired VS wireless" debacle. So, after using strictly only wireless headphones on a daily basis for almost two-and-a-half years, I can definitely without any doubt openly state that the "always wired only" and "only highly expensive portable players/no smartphone pleb-tier" pseudo-audiophilic FAGGOTS are completely and absolutely FULL OF SHIT. I won't argue with anyone here that wireless headphones in general and wireless sound technologies in overall were utter garbage just 5-or-so years ago, but nowadays it's NOWHERE even remotely close to being as bad as it was in 2012 and further down the line. Everything (literally EVERY THING) these so-called self-proclaimed pseudo-audiophilic kiddie shithead trolls are openly and absolutely brainlessly proclaiming loudly everywhere about MODERN wireless sound technologies being any "bad" or "not on par with wired" is 100% COMPLETE BULLSHIT. Abso-effing-lute LIE. These retarded deaf kiddies clearly never used any modern wireless headphones that cost more than 50$ (and actually good/worthwhile wireless headphones start from the 120$ mark AT THE VERY LEAST) and/or they never tried Apt-X LL or ESPECIALLY the GODLIKE LDAC. These FAGS basically don't know jack about any of this, but they act like they're the hottest and most knowledgeable shits around the block while in reality they're not hot, but just shit. MODERN wireless sound IS actually VERY good and does NOT lose to wired at all by the sheer quality of sound and latency (if it's apt-X LL or LDAC), WHILE being WAAAY more convenient and comfortable to use due to headphones being completely (WELL, DUH!) wireless. Fuck all those pseudo-audiophilic pseudo-elitistic sudo-entitled "pro-wired" scrubshits, I say. They know fucking NOTHING.

>What ~50$ range wireless headphones would /g/ recommend?
Unfortunately, there are almost no actually decent/good models in that price range. The closest one you can get to be of a "somewhat decent sound quality" is Rombica's "MySound BH-10 2C" model, but they have extremely crappy Bluetooth range and they usually tend to bug out and turn off even if slightest electromagnetic interference is nearby (like, for example, when you're in a convenience store and standing near a commercial fridge). Also note that they are literally "Chinkshit Wireless"-tier of headphones. If you never ever had a pair of wireless Bluetooth headphones before and you wish to get ACTUALLY worthwhile device from the first attempt - you'd have to spend AT LEAST 120$ and these will be MEElectronics' "Air-Fi Matrix 3" model and NO OTHER. This is the EXACT very point where actual wireless GOOD quality starts.

>Have they also opened it up for non-Sony headphones or do I need a Sony wireless?
That we don't know yet, as there are simply no massive amount of Android 8-based smartphones on the market so far, but I personally highly doubt that this will be Sony-only when it becomes mainstream, simply due to default LDAC implementation in all Android 8 devices making no logical sense in the case if Sony decides to not license this to other wireless headphone manufacturers. They've already licensed this to Android 8, so why the hell will they restrict it only to their wireless headphones now? That will be an asshole move and will undoubtedly garner a lot of critique on Sony's ass. I don't think that Sony's THAT stupid as to not provide other wireless headphone manufacturers with a LDAC license. And even if (and that's a very big IF) they actually in all seriousness restrict LDAC usage only to their wireless devices, this still at least leaves us an option to not use a Sony smartphone for it if we wouldn't want to, so there's at least that.

>Name one worthwhile wireless headphone that isn't shit-tier or overpriced for what it sounds
Plantronics BackBeat Pro 2 SE (monitor, closed, neutral, medium price)
MEElectronics AirFi Matrix 3 (monitor, half-open, neutral-to-bright, price-wise this very start of the actual good quality in wireless headphones so this is as low as you should go if you're planning on using LDAC/Apt-X LL)
Marshall Monitor Bluetooth (monitor, closed, V-shape, medium price)
Master & Dynamic MW60 (monitor, closed, V-shape, high price yet not ineptly overpriced)
Bang & Olufsen H9 (monitor, closed, neutral, mid-to-high price)
Sony MDR-1000X (monitor, closed, warm-to-neutral, mid-to-high price, best ANC)
Onkyo W800BT (IEM, closed, neutral, mid price)
JVC HA-S90BN (monitor, closed, V-shape, mid price)

All of these currently available headphones are absolutely worthwhile wireless solutions. The most expensive one in that list is Master & Dynamic MW60 and even it is not really overpriced (usually sells for 600$, but can be found for as cheap as ~420$ at some places during sale-off days).

P.S.
Answering the question that was made in the previous thread: "open" structure is not actually common in the wireless segment, at least when it comes down to monitor headphones, but if anything - you could always try MEElectronics' AirFi Matrix 3, they're partially open. Also please don't ever lump "closed" design and "bad" together all the time, because this is simply not true. All of the closed monitor headphones mentioned above are absolutely top-notch pieces of hardware and sound very good for their respective pricing segments (Master & Dynamic MW60 having the best materials and sounding phenomenally even in artificially created bad conditions, but it's sound curve, which is very clearly V-shaped, is definitely not necessarily for everyone. I personally prefer absolutely neutral sound, so my personal wireless headphones of choice for everyday usage are Plantronics BackBeat PRO 2 SE and Onkyo W800BT).

It doesn't lose to wired AT-FUCKING-ALL in the case IF you do it ALL right.

>>62261137
I can't tell who the shitposters are at this point so I'm ignoring any and all HD600 opinions here. I'll have to rely on my own judgment when I get the chance.

Though I will want to compare it with other headphones too. So currently watching reviews and impressions between the AKG K712 and ATH R70X. Both of them seem rather impressive, but I'm not sure if the R70Xs are worth the higher pricetag. If only the AKGs weren't so fucking ugly with that orange.

>>62261131
Get the Fulla 2. If you ever need more power (unlikely), then a Magni 2 connected to its DAC output would supply it.
The Schiit (uber) Stack is really nice, but also a luxury item. You absolutely do not _need_ it with your current headphones.

>>62261206
Open and closed have inherent implications on sound reproduction. In my eyes, no closed headphone will ever come close to a similarly good open. Of course, this is preference, but i think many anons share this preference for open.

>>62261234

First of all - that IS a completely wrong approach to the wireless segment simply because "wireless = convenience" and convenience doesn't automatically mean "scare away other people standing near you with shitty Touhou soundtracks/niggerbass while being in an urban environment". Open are good only for "ANALytics" and "MUH FEELS", but in an everyday usage case this will be a massive hindrance both for you AND for other people. Unless you're a sissy boy faggotring asshole, that is. Also - open headphones can't stand jack shit of a rain or low temperatures, being EXTREMELY fragile. There are no such problems with closed or half-open ones. This all applies to wireless, of course.

Secondly - I've already noted that if you wish for a "wireless AND open" experience, there's currently pretty much just one worthwhile option available on the market and that is Air-Fi Matrix 3, because they're half-open and even though don't provide as big of an "airness" as "100% open" can do, they still spread the sound quite well outside nonetheless.

>Air-Fi Matrix 3 are worth a try, but I doubt they'll sound good enough to replace my open headphones
They're mostly neutral-to-bright and their bright side isn't so sharp as to downright hurt when cymbals/high pitched notes and they're definitely not "ANALytic", and I'd say that their "airiness" is "above average, but obviously not super-wide". They're wireless headphones for everyday usage in an urban environment, after all. I personally prefer less bright-sounding curve, so these aren't my personal piece of choice for an everyday usage, but the only downside I could spot in them is that they have pretty noticeably strong clamping force (not something extremely uncomfortable, but definitely not massively comfy either). And, just like I've mentioned before - Air-Fi Matrix 3 are sitting in a 120~140$ pricing zone, being the very start of the actual good quality in the wireless segment of the headphone market. Despite their somewhat low price they're still built very solidly, have good materials and don't look like ricer nigger shit. Unfortunately they're the only half-open wireless headphones that are currently of any true worth on the worldwide headphone market, there are no worthy half-open or open wireless headphones in more expensive fields, so even better wireless quality means going closed and IEM. Air-Fi Matrix 3 are literally THE only worthwhile half-open wireless headphones that are currently available on the global market.

If they're functional, do not alter the sound and you're fond of them, I understand keeping them though.

Just... wtf happened to them? They look as if they've been through really harsh times.

paint started to flake after 10 years, tried to clean it up at some point, all the paint came off after that, what you see is just the raw metal that has oxidized

>>62263024
Did anything else break or show signs of?
What about the pads, how many times have they needed replacement?
17yr... quite durable.

>>62263064
I've replaced the headband and pads once, should have done it more often. the clips where the sliders enter the headband are gone, and I've replaced the cable 3 times

So does anybody here actually listen to their music in flac format? Can you actually tell a difference? Where do you get music in flac format?

Usage of modern-day quality wireless devices REQUIRES that you utilize FLAC or Redbook in a combination with good DAC or software, because only (and ONLY) then high quality wireless headphones actually able to open up themselves fully and show what they're really capable of. And no, "320 kbps" mp3 won't work, you'll have to use EXACTLY Redbook or FLAC/Raw WAV and no other for a high quality wireless headphone to work properly. Basically what this means is that, if you have high quality wireless headphone AND you actually know how to do everything right - usage of FLAC/Redbook/Raw WAV is ESSENTIAL. Only ricer nigers, kiddie wigger weaboos, and stupid cheapskate chinkshits would buy a 200+ dollars-worth wireless headphones and then "use" them with a shitty smarthone that can't even do Apt-X (not even saying Apt-X HD or Apt-X LL) or ESPECIALLY the GODLIKE LDAC, "transmitting" through A2DP or even shittier Bluetooth connectivity. If you're smart enough, you'd do it right. Gladly, there are more smart people who buy high quality wireless headphones than the nigger wigger chinkshits out there.

None of those listed in that list will "fall apart" any easily, they're all super-solid products materials and build quality-wise.

>how does the sound of the Plantronics compare to the Sennheiser
Sennheiser is literal chinkshit nigger wigger bass when it comes down to their wireless "offerings", so there's absolutely no comparison. BackBeat PRO 2 SE is a high quality wireless headphone set with a pretty neutral curve, it'll be good with 92% of music out there, on any loudness levels. BackBeat PRO 2 SE also currently holds the record of being the full-ear monitor wireless headphones with most longest and most stable Bluetooth range and signal (roughly ~72 meters while through several solid walls and floors) on the market, so that's a very big plus too. It's battery/charge longevity is also quite big. BackBeat PRO 2 SE is SUPER-solid on almost all fields (the only "downside" is that they might be somewhat "bulky" for some). Sennheiser's wireless headphones lose on all fields. They're literal cheap-ass chink trash with muddy niggerbass that are also heavily overpriced for what they are.

>>62264369
You're not trying hard enough, buttmad wirecuck.

Daily reminder that all you need for perfect audio experience is $3 IEMs and EqualizerAPO + PeaceGUI.
Anything more is for retarded audiophools who love falling for snake's oil scams.

Not in the slightest, kid. 0/10 once again. You really need to rethink your tactics and try way harder than just that.

Superlux HD 681 EVO vs HD668b? currently using normal HD 681, but the left side is practically dead (had to tape the cable in a weird position just so it works). sound quality is good, but i hate how uncomfortable it feels after a few hours of use.

i have a k612 and smsl m3, a magni 2 uber isn't going to change the sound in any way except make it go louder is it? won't they sound fuller (on max volume on m3 they do, but also there's distortion)? i don't wanna waste £130 on nothing.

>>62266216
The SMSL M3 is weak AF at ~50mW at 150Ω.
While the K612 are batshit insane power hungry while being 125Ω.
M3 clearly can't do it. By quite the margin.
Magni2 Uber will make a major difference.

>>62266216
Christ.
https://www.audiobot9000.com/match/akg/k-612-pro/with/schiit/magni-2
Then see the output of the M3 at around 150Ω.
You'd want at least 105 and ideally 115dB. Magni2 can do the latter.

Linearity already describes resonance.
Soundstage does not exist. Physically anyway. It is a subjective interpretation of sound source location and space.

>>62266457
>You'd want at least 105 and ideally 115dB
No and no.
Let me guess, you read NwAv-whatever's blog without thinking over how loud or how much dynamic range there actually is.

>>62266519
And I own thousands of tendies. You own placebofaggot memephones which get no use anyways (of your own admission).

>>62266519
Can you send pic? I am just curious about Orpheus since I saw SR-009 in store, fuckers didn't let me try it but they said that they didn't have energiser so it was on stand for marketing purposes they let me try HD800 and LCD 2.

>>62266743
>I own thousands of tendies
You're teethless old geezer? Or a toddler? My deepest condolences to your wigger family.

Should I wait for the 650 to go on sale or just buy it for $520? I see the 600 on sale for $440

>>62267143
No need to be upset. You can still sell your placeboloser memephones and recoup the losses off of equally gullible retards. Trust me, life's better when you have $13 EQ'd Bluetooth earbuds.

>>62267274
So the 600 is the better buy at $440?

>>62267432
Yes. More expensive doesn't mean better. Higher model number doesn't mean better either.
This is very evident in the in the headphone market, and HD650 vs HD600 is a fine example.

>>62267432
Those are not US prices right because the HD600 is going for $287

I prefer the HE400i at $250

>>62267452
I've always wanted a tad bit more bass but didn't want to pay an extra $80 for it.

>>62267466
Prices are in Canadian

>>62267466
>HE400i
Shitty mids and poor QC.
Still an interesting entry point planar newcomer.
If you like niggerbass.
Unfit for comparison with the legendary status HD600.

>>62267537
Mids are not as forward as HD600 but not missing
QC is an issue
They are not niggerbass at all, bass is not boosted

They are more comfy and have a better soundstage
