Oh I know, but mind you before headphones got really popular like they have people were still actually saying how the bass on 650’s was still good for those genres and people said this just isn’t a headphone for BASSheads. As if wanting a headphone that can produce deep bass makes someone a basshead, as opposed to wanting the bass over pronounced for fun. It just wasn’t accurate advice from the community back then and you can’t get information on soundstage or imagining in a sound signature curve (or whatever that response curve thing is called). People talk about how great the headphone is at what it does but its really made clear about what it can’t do. At least back when I was buying headphones in like 2015. Its a great can for what it does I just didn’t want someone to regret their first high end purchase for a can that can’t do it all regardless of how well.

Honestly I’ve been out of the headphone game cuz I’m broke and haven’t been able to try more. I’d recommend some HiFiman cans but I don’t trust their QC since so many of them brake. I’m not really sure what a good TRUE all rounder headphone is at a $200 price point. I’ve been out of the game for a while but I know that for me, these ain’t it.

Hot take. Don’t buy these. Sure they are REALLY good sounding and resolving more than other headphones if these are your first real audiophile cans but they don’t have significant base if you listen to EDM, rap, R&B, or other bass requiring genres. They have almost zero soundstage and the imaging is murky at best. These were my first nice headphones and while again, they sound super nice, I began to realize how much they were lacking because the bass and soundstage are big componentes of music that I can’t be without and feel happy about my purchase or listening experience.
