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.
