Definitely not grainy...I don’t find them doing anything uncomfortable with the highs.
I definitely need more time. I left them on autopilot with LED Zep for a while to continue to loosen. But already these best anything so far out of the box

I think I’m going to eventually balance them with OCC silver and see what happens. But the stock SE is a quality SPC(silver plated copper) and way better than any cable anyone is giving with their phones sub $2k or even more, with the exception of Audeze That offers a phenomenal cable with their LCD 4 an LCDZ.
And before I do anything with the cable I really want to break them in.

Can you take a pic of the driver?

Priced at $2k....I’m not even moved to look twice......especially they’re power hungry too.

You’re in the studio. I can see them behind the glass recording this.

I thought they broke up and were not going to record or tour any more?

All kidding aside, please do take your time in gathering and forming your impressions. Sometimes it can take a few weeks to become aware of any faults or irregularities in new gear.

I know. They brought me there. Time machine. Maybe because I just recently watched
Back to the Future 1,2,3

I’m really pleased...at the price point, it’s a sure thing...an incredible value...beyond twice it’s cost

What about a comparison with the Heddphone?

How is the bass, the kick and the soundstage?

It is a really phenomenal headphone.
I put on some CD source today.

Quick, fast, punchy tight bass

Got them, love them

Need some time to understand them better, but so far it beats the LCD-2C in overall detail, clarity and speed. Even treble defintioon / detail

Aren’t you blown away?
No contest...
I need time too...It’s the whole package, the cable alone...is an extremely high quality custom silver /copper blend...I know that’s a huge part in it...I had a $350 cable for my LCD2...improved it by 30%...still doesn’t come even close to the same league as these, neither does the AUTERE

Oh yes, I love the cable. Similar quality to the Meze cables I own, if I use the connectors from DD HIFI to test them side by side both on SE

THE DETAIL OF SR-2, I LOVE IT

The bass is also another part that's unexpectedly goo, I expected a somewhat bassy sound, but it has impact with no bloat, it is quick and impactful, me really likey the signature, can clearly hear the premier drum even in poorly recorded songs

You’re way more eloquent than I...exactly.
The bass is firm, deep but not over present like other phones...it’s perfectly balanced...the high are crisp and non-fatiguing.
