Ok, now you hear another one, I do not consider it's midrange as distant. As Pat already mentioned, midrange is what this headphone is about.
As for it sounding like a speaker blaring from far away, I find that an exaggeration too.
However what I have yet to hear is the often mentioned football field sized sound stage and airiness. I wonder if it is an amp or burn in issue? Mine is about 200 hours now and doesn't seem to change much in the last few days.
