Reply to comment by NotNerd-TO in What's your friends/colleagues reaction when you said your hobby is about headphones? by Carlsen94

They're very convenient at least but audio quality wise I wouldn't rank them that high if they're anything like the older xm3's. Probably great for teams calls with the integrated mic and all the other features tbh

The actual sound quality isn't too bad and the ANC is great. The tuning for headphones is just bad. Once you turn down the bass to a reasonable level, they're actually ok. And for someone like my friend who hadn't heard anything better, they sound amazing.

Yeah. I can dig them even with stock sound but they're definitely better with some EQ to tune down that bass.

The good thing with the sonys is that I at least can't really hate them, only dislike. While I can't listen to the DT1990 without EQing the mount Beyer down, the 8kHz bump. It's too piercing.
