I'll see if anything changes, like I said, my ears must have gotten adjusted to upper-mids over time, but the treble and bass standout is generally present. I don't hear it quite like subs are so emphasized like the measurements, there is signficant bass impact and from my experience of FR, significance of impact can't be known from it. Due to mids pulled back and signficance of bass, bass really stands out along with treble. It's a mainstream sound. It's like Apple Beats. Lol. I didn't expect this and thought they weren't going in this direction with what they did with Beats, but they went mainstream.
I had the same first impression. I also felt disappointed when I first heard that elevated sub bass combined with the lowered 1.5 kHz to 4 kHz range. I could only think about how much I missed that range in music.
If you have something at a similar price point or cheaper, perhaps it would be interesting to try a list of tracks, alternating between the two as I have, and see if you can notice the strengths/weaknesses of each. For me, as seen in my log, the APM kept outshining the others simply because it had strengths in fidelity I perceived compared to the other two.
