It's a little "edgy" or dramatic sounding.in the second song is the bass distorted?

This list of songs helped me to understand what a good recording sounds like (and a bad one): https://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/stereo-recordings-air/Due to my health conditions (infantile cerebral palsy) and living in a small village, I have not had the opportunity to listen to live music, except at town festivals, I have had the opportunity to compare various electronics with competent people who help me understand the differences. I like all the music a bit, especially pop, classical and jazz and a bit of electronics. with these headphones HD 600 and fidelio x2hr and akg 280 porabolic and with the V DAC II as a dac and a SABAJ A10h as an amplifier, how do I know if I listen in h-ifi, are there any methods of comparing what I have? thank you
help me understand with music videos
there is music that sounds good and music that sounds bad regardless of my electronics and so or not?
Very nice, thanks!This list of songs helped me to understand what a good recording sounds like (and a bad one): https://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/stereo-recordings-air/
This bit made me chuckle.Bass
This is a collection of tracks that can be used to show off (and break…) your woofers and/or subwoofer(s). Beware: when I talk about “bass” I mean REAL bass. Not that silly pretend-bass 80 Hz oomph that you hear coming from a souped-up Honda with tinted windows as it drives down your street. I mean stuff an octave or two lower than that – it should make it feel like a giant is squeezing your listening room from the outside.
I had a listen to some of the tracks on the list. Of course Deadmau5 has some bass, but other than that, I was underwhelmed. I could name so many better tracks for bass testing than those.Very nice, thanks!

Hi and Welcome to ASR.
One thing that will make you derive the best out of yourheadphones is EQ, as in equalizing your headphones to be as xlose as possible to a scientifically derived "curve". If you source is a PC then you are in luck as there are software that would help you in EQualizing your headphones ot this curve...
These are:
EQ APO Download HERE.
And you use this software/App to control it. PEACE , Click HERE

for the headphones that were reviewed by ASR.
A more extensive list is that one from
[PSA] - oratory1990's list of EQ Presets : r/headphones
Settings for your headphone are likely in it ...
The difference EQ bring to headphones, is to me, startling... I have come to believe, that except for a handful of headphones, EQ is mandatory. Regardless of price.
Enjoy the music
Peace.
from 1.42 to 2.05 then from 3.50 to 450 for me it's just noise
I want to know if it feels so bad for you too?
this sounds better to meThe timings you indicate are where Brightman hits the high notes. I noticed some recording/processing artefacts on her vocal generally (nothing major, and common to many recordings) but no worsening of the higher/louder vocal sections to my ear.
Might be your system, see if you can swap in/out any components, check also gain isn't going wrong somewhere.
Might be your hearing: can you ask others to listen with you? Also more than a few people are just sensitive to treble and prefer more of a downward slope overall on the frequency response curve. Try that too.
Might be your source: others have noted YouTube quality is variable, so check it's set to HD and try other sources if you can.
Here's a recording to compare which sounds clean/clear to me (overall, a bit of hiss and hum on occasion) just playing from YouTube in HD. It's a recent NPR session with FKA twigs, but performed as an acoustic ensemble (her album material is usually features electronic instruments, there's some reverb on the voice here I think but may just be the space, and some echo effects on instruments later on, notably cello on the last song). She has a good vocal range and around 2:00-245 then around 3:50-4:30 she hits the high notes (if you like it enough to keep listening, there's more after that). Does it sound ok or does it do the same thing as the Brightman recording does for you?
Edit: checked your piece again, occurred to me it's the massed choir/orchestra crescendo sections so maybe not high vocals, can you clarify?
Some systems don't manage the busy sections so well, but apart from the Sennys I don't really know your gear.
Everybody has been suggesting clean sounding songs, but that doesn't help what defines something "bad". You need variety if you want understand things in relation to each other.
I love this song, for all of its intentional low fidelity. You can easily hear how the bass line smashes into the limiter, the clipped drums, and distortion in general. Of course there are much more distorted things in the hyperpop scene now.
And this is with all 3 headphones?the problem arises when many instruments play together, then it becomes a mess for me
I like music, where various surprise instruments come out and enter the song, this amuses me a lot, then it must be cheerful and enthralling music, that is, it must involve me, with deep and full-bodied bass, clear and present mids and high details you could show me some song?

I'm not really able to tell if this is a hardware problem or just your musical preference.
