Reply to comment by HomerSimping in How come my relatively cheap bluetooth speaker sounds better than my expensive headphones by DankamusMemus

I don’t even know. All I know is that my $30 bluetooth speaker beat my bose

That's because in 2023 Bose headphones and earphones are just mid at best.

So are the ATH M50X for that matter.

Also as a followup to my previous comment, you're definitely not an audiophile and you don't have a critical ear because M50X, bad as they are, sound better than even the $200 Klipsch Promedia or the $250 Bose Revolve+ 2 speakers. It sounds like you're just a bass head, which is fine, but you have to understand that sound is subjective and you don't have "normal" (no insult intended) audio preferences that would line up with the majority of the public (again no insult) which is fine. If you do buy headphones again look for something with very heavy bass to match your preferences. Again the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is a good choice for this.

Have you tried planar? Kz pr1 pro isn’t expensive but got some clean sounds. If bass is what you’re looking for then I can’t help you.

KZ PR1 Pro has a lot of bass, but sub-bass focus so it isn't bloated. Agreed it's good, at least if you can handle the treble.
