Seems like the concept of me holding companies up to a high standard is not understood. A mechanic has a different opinion of a car than just a driver. He knows what could be weak points and evaluates the product that way. When we bought our boat we had our neighbor that taught boat safety to come and teach us about it. He opens the engine compartment and immediate points to zip ties holding engine wiring to engine hoses. He said due to high vibration they will act as knives and cut right through the hose, leaving you stranded on the water. And boy was he right as I took those off to replace them with clamps and could already see them cutting through the rubber hoses.This is almost unanimously one of the best headphones out there. I have two Focal headphones and I've never been able to get either to clip. You have to have an extreme bass boost or be listening at hearing damage levels. Not recommending these is a disservice to the headphone community and will cause people to miss one of the best headphones out there.
So no, I am not part of the "headphone community." I have no attachment to any product I test and hold them all universally to a high standard. If you want to not know what I find, then don't read my reviews. A headphone that bottoms out is not "one of the best." If it is by design, then it needs to say so in product manual and website. To the extent this is not there, then I need to point it out.
On tonality, it is better than other headphones I have tested so far without EQ and I indicated so. The issue is that it needs some bass boost and that makes the above problem much worse. If others are not perceiving these weaknesses, then they are not critical listeners and their opinion is no concern of mine, no matter how many of them there are.
