I sold mine about two months into ownership as well because of similar reasons. I vastly prefer the older Audeze House sound where sub bass is a standout feature. I find both the LCD5 as well as MM-500 to be way too forward in the mids with not enough extension in both the lows and highs. I understand the MM-500 needs to be tuned that way for a mixing/mastering tool but I'd way rather have my LCD4 or LCDX 2021 than either of the newer models.I notice how little people talk about this headphone.
Recently I got it and really enjoy it. Due to its really low power requirement characteristic, I just run it with my Apple or questyle dongle and I get a enjoyable sound.
The only thing I notice is the bass dont slam quite deep, but it’s also the same thing I felt with with the lcd 5 and I’m not into the affair of EQ. Other than that I enjoyed the sound a lot . I think it’s not often you get good quality sound that’s easy to drive especially for planar.
