Did my quest end...?
I've been searching for a super comfortable pair of open backs with a neutral sound signature for a while, and all I can say is:
No, these do not deliver. Sorry for getting your hopes up in the first half. To me, they do not deliver either in comfort or sound. I really wanted to like these, since I'm about to give up on my long quest of searching for the perfect pair(I just can't be arsed anymore) I thought these would be the final happy "end-it-all"-purchase. My relatively new and not broken-in-yet DT 770 80's are more comfortable than these.
The cups are smaller(at least what it feels like) on these than on my DT 770. The pads or softer though, so that's a plus. Another plus for the detachable cable as well(not super important to me, I'm not against attached cables as long as it ain't coiled).
SOUND
Overall pretty neutral, but still has that annoying Beyer peak they seem to be determined to keep for some reason(My DT 770 80 Ohms are the only Beyers I can stand).
Some of my go-to songs for checking headphones are "Plastic Love" and "Give Life Back To Music". The claps and high-hats in these songs sound overly harsh and a little to loud with the DT 900 Pro X in my opinion. Mariya's voice also sounds overly sibilant at times.
Bass and mids sound pretty good. Bass is punchy and clean. Mids are not recessed or forward, rests in the middle as they should. Overall, the only thing that really stood out to me in the sound was the harsh treble, otherwise they're pretty solid.
I know harshness and sibilance is not problematic for most people, but for me it's a big deal. It's like I feel actual physical pain in my ears when that shit's too loud. Feels like someone is using a chainsaw inside my head.
Hope this helps someone out there.
