Yeah I would have to say it's a stark contrast between the 2 phones; Sony XB has over-the-top quantity while the Beyer's have subtle quality. I mean to expect a phone to compete with something 5x it's price is asking a lot, the Sony are great for what they are, they're an easy recommendation when people are looking for bass.
What source and amp did you conclude the Sony's extend further than the Beyer's?
I disagree, I never got that sinking feeling with the DT880 or my Skybeyer. It simply did not play insanely low bass notes clearly enough for me to be able to say "super low note A was lower than super low note B" I found the beyers to just play them with such force that I couldn't differentiate them. Where as my Sony XB500s never had that issue.
its just how my ears picked it up, if that is not the case for others then so be it. But I found the sonys to play the super low bass notes with more responsiveness. They sank much lower on the Sonys, but were more vast and powerful on the beyers.
