I'm not skeptical, just dissapointed. Maybe I expected too much coming in. There's only so much you can do to a driver I guess.It is underwhelming because you EQ the HD560S to Harman or optimum hifi both based on some standard measured on 1 particular fixture that may not represent your ears.
To get the sound you are looking for you need to NOT tune to Harman nor optimum hifi but to the tonal character you are after.
25% of listeners does NOT prefer Harman anyway. When you are one of those there is no point in EQ'ing to a curve.
That's why I said you should EQ your HD560S to a similar tonal balance as the headphones you like. (Meze, DT700Pro etc.)
EQ is no BS... when done right and the headphones can actually handle what you want them to do.
B.T.W. a headphone that I consider fun and forgiving is the DT990 for instance (when you aren't bothered by the treble peak, some are, some are not)
Glad you mentioned I do actaully have a DT990 - love the bass on those but like most beyers they lack the tonality that sennheisers possess, I mean after all they're monitoring headphones.
A perfect headphone would probably be beyer's lows with sennheiser's mids
