Yep, without EQ. But with EQing them all the situation stays the same.That sounds like you are describing them without EQ to the Harman Curve? It's obvious there are gonna be massive differences between the headphones otherwise, and I certainly wouldn't recommend the Aeon RT to be purchased without EQ.
Could be I usually listen at quite low levels. Because today I'm testing them at quite a bit louder levels then I normally do and these Aeons come a live quite a bit.
Don't know if I'm going to make it a habit. Could be that these isolate well and the sound from the headphones just seems louder then I usually listen.
