Oh, ESP95Xs, lolā¦ I guess suddenly itās more difficult for some to spend 400$ on THX Pandas when they realize ESP95Xs are 400$ tooā¦ 
Hey, the ESP950s are even portable if you have like 16 āDā batteries! 
I just got the ksc75s today. How treble sensitive do you have to be for ksc75s to be ātreble-murderā. And worse than grados??? Maybe I should actually try some grados lol.

I donāt care if the KSC75 sounded like the voice of Godā¦I am not clipping those dumb looking things on my ears. The porta pro and KPH30i both are comfy on me, so there is no point using the KSC75.

yes. 
no model of the beats studios were ever good. unfortunately so most headphones that are competently made just sound better
With over-ear headphones, everybody talks about the importance of a good āsealā for decent bass. I believe that more than anything, the clip was the problem for me. AFAIK I heard zero bass and sub-bass from theseā¦ You know, when you told your mother your headphones broke and she said āagain?ā and then bought another pair of 5$ headphones at the computer store for you, to plug into a pair of 10$ speakers with a āheadphone outā she bought with the computer? Thatās the KSC75 sound for me. They really are not for me, sorry lol.
I mean hey, maybe I got a bad pair too, or fake ones even. Maybe I got PTSD from over-ear computer store headphones too. 
I know Iām the minority. My next purchase is Koss Portapros.
Iām just glad theyāre so cheap. Imagine if that was my opinion about a pair of 200$ headphones or more. Iād be banned from here or something lol.

That actually reminds me of when people were saying the focal elegia had like 0 bass but it turned out that most of the people saying that had thicker glasses or were getting a bad seal lol

The millions of people that own them think beats are great. I would say comparative to top sellers on Amazon from mpow, beats are pretty good. Iāve only tried them once or twice from a friend but Iāve definitely heard many more lesser quality wireless headphones.
yes, but millions of people that own beats arenāt also in the audio game trying different headphones source gear. know whats up and know what you can get for the money. I try and keep up with beats with every release. and when I was a audio noob I too thought the original beats studio sounded good cause more ābass= goodā. buut doing a deep dive spending cash here and there and trying other gear over the years really shows how bad a lot of beats are the solos arenāt that bad but you can get much better and the EPs on sale I wouldnāt be mad at people getting. but the studios have never been good.

So comparative to the worst, theyāre good? Lol.
IMO, donāt spend more than 50$ on Beats, none are worth more than that.
Pricier than that? 200$ Beats Studio sound like 100$ Sennheiser HD280 Pros (old version) for me. But, ironically, without bass. Clinically flat and zero soundstage. So, nothing interesting.
āBut yeah itās studio it has to be dull and boring andāā¦ then get Sony MDR-V6/7506s for like 30$ and youāll have the same precision and lack of enjoyment, lol.

What happened?
Iām not advocating for Beats, but I do think Hifi snobs overdue the trashing of beats, mostly because they donāt like rap music. That said, there are thousands of wireless headphones on the market, the Beats Studio are no where near the worst. I will concede that they are over priced. Now I have the Sony Wh-1000xm3 and they donāt sound good to me at all. They sound artificial. The noise canceling is excellent but I will only use them on a flight or a long train ride. I just am looking for a descriptive comparison of the Pandas. I also have the PSB M4U2 wireless, they kind of lack soul and music sounds lifeless and lacks sparkle. I also have the M&O BT headphones with Beryllium drivers that can be had for $80. Zeos praised them and I agree with his praise of the sound quality given their price. Are the Pandaās a $300 upgrade in sound and build quality? Do the Pandaās sound just like the Oppo? Again Iām not advocating for beats just looking for a baseline of expectations and beats came up as a price to performance comparison.
