Personal taste? Of course. When is that never the case? Especially when people think the Sony 1000xm3 sounds better than the Bose qc35 ii right out of the box.I have both, what you're describing is a personal taste, you do hear the compression in W3,tho i agree that there's something special about them, total missed opportunity on the codecs there.
PX7 is a bit more refined imho tho yes, bass sounds boxy
I am comparing the px7 with the M3 equed (not the default sound out of the box). The Px7>M3 (out of the box). Moving the slider in the sennheiser app slightly downward and to the right significantly improves the sound. The soundstage opens up tremendously, the bass tightens up, the clarity and naturalness beyond belief. You have to EQ them just right though. They put my 58x jubilee to shame and I love those.
The px7 sounds LESS REFINED to my ears. It's a good fun and engaging sound but not very transparent and not very detailed. Again this is compared to M3 equed (not out of the box sound). The M3 equed is even more fun and engaging but with better clarity and midrange.
I never seen where Eqing a headphone leads to this much increase in sound quality. It's unreal.
