Looks like itā€™ll take a little adjustment from what you have. Pretty different than your senns. But Iā€™m sure youā€™ll love them. Itā€™s good to have that contrast I think. Enjoy! :+1:

Alright so Iā€™ve got to listen to these for about an hour now andā€¦ I like them quite a lot already. So if they sound even better after 150 hours, thatā€™s really nice to hear. I had to turn my amp waaaaay down when I plugged these in for the first time, they are really efficient. They are really nice and unique looking, Iā€™m surprised that Iā€™ve seen some people call them ugly looking online. These are also really comfortableā€¦ if you donā€™t wear glasses. It took me a while to find a position on my head for these to fit well due to wearing glasses, and I was wondering if the other pads included would help, but havenā€™t bothered to change them yet (and I like the sound with these pads already). Also the case this comes with is fucking amazing, now I have a portable case for a pair of cans if I need to travel.

The bass is quite punchy which is nice compared to the other headphones I own. Listening to hip-hop and r&b with these has been a real treat so far. It doesnā€™t sound muddy at all. The imaging is also really exceptional. The highs are also quite clear, despite seeing some people say otherwise in some reviews iirc. Mids are pretty good too. The whole soundstage just sounds exceptional; rich and full. Monday to Monday by Roy Woods just sounds so much more alive compared to my Senns.

Thatā€™s all Iā€™ve got to write about for my first hour listening to these, but Iā€™m excited to go watch some movies and game with these. Thank you @M0N for recommending these to me, I appreciate it!

They are pretty amazing with pink Floyd for sure. But it depends on the song. For some songs the bass can be a tad overwhelming and treble/highs a little too recessed, with either pads. But still great imaging. It takes some testing. Iā€™d say they sound great with like 80 percent of what I listen to. But some songs or genres donā€™t work quite well. Overall if you find the right pairings, then you wonā€™t want to listen to anything else with them.

I found I also love oldies with these. 50s or 60s motown doo wop and rock. They take the edge off of old recordings and add the right amount of bass. Almost makes old recorded music sound Remastered and cleaner.
