It really isn't unless you are getting a bad fit.

Maybe just individual variation. How does the Aria sound to you? For me it's the most harsh and metallic audio device I have heard in my life no matter how it fits and no matter what tips I use due to an EXTREME 12k peak.

With the Chu I get a mild 12k peak and it still sounds pretty good. CRA, a moderate 10k peak and it sounds ok. Salnotes zero, moderate to large 11k peak and it sounds not great.

Mh you might have particularly low tolerance to highs then, I would definitely not call the Aria harsh by any standards.

Also don't read too much into the peaks on graphs beyond 8K in general, they generally aren't necessarily there for your ears but only for the coupler.

I wouldn't say it's because of tolerance. I "objectively" get a huge 12k spike in my ears with the Aria. If it behaved the same way in your ear canals I suspect you would hate it too but it probably doesn't.

Eh I don't really use them anymore due to their treble lmao.

Also come on Chus and 7Hz Zeros aren't anywhere near as bad as the DT990s are.

Zeros are better, I gave chus another try with the same tips I used with Zero and no I cannot get behind them

Eh I have both and sound wise it's up to preference really, technically speaking the Chus are closer to the Harman target so they will likely be slightly preferred overall but it's a minor thing anyway.
