Wow, so it's 2023 and I've been obsessed with music since about 1990.
What a nice situation where we finally have a head-fi tier headphone with decent drivers that can image (unlike many of the consumer noise cancellers) that adapts to our hearing. This is a dream come true, as my hearing has always been rolled off over 13.5k with uneven response in different ears in the mids; so almost no matter how high up the summit-fi tier I'd try to listen, I would typically find the frequency response of headphones just bizarre. The issue was never near as pronounced with speakers in a room with the natural crossfeed, but like most I really like the idea of personal and private audio experiences.
So yeah... FINALLY. I can now hear many details far better without having to turn these up so loud and they sound a lot more like good speakers in a decent room since they are assessing each ear individually. Now if only we could get them in Beryllium.
