Headphoneus Supremus
What it really is that either headphones has an emphasis and cut in a certain range in the FR. They play it loud so there's also a sort of ear trauma that is cutting certain frequencies, so hopping to the next headphone, there will be a new emphasis to acclimate to and a new frequency range to get ear trauma from all the while getting your hearing back from the ear trauma from the previous headphone.As someone that has often had quarrels with pure subjectivists on these forums and even tried to start a new thread called "Yes, objectivists do confirm their decisions by listening...", I may not agree on this at least for the mechanical properties of the drivers. I don't have any background on the engineering and properties of the materials used with Stealth. I was also surprised but I did some blind and couple test and we came to the same conclusion in multiple attempts. There is currently no difference between the two, but I was surprised to hear a slight difference between my Stealth that had hundreds of hours on it and another newish Stealth. My posts are here and here. Is it the pads? Is it the drivers? I don't know.
End of the day, just get Stealth, Expanse and fix ur signal chain.
