Just got my Pixel.
I transfered some music files and listened using Google Play. I used my DT880s, via a Schiit Magni 2.
The sound is unpleasantly bright. Noticeably. I still haven't tried with my IEMs. That will count more: the whole point, for me, of getting the Google and dumping Apples was because of the headphone jack and my ability to plug in my IEMs. More later.
Stock - Pixel sounded like Bass Boost was on but definitely was not Bright Sounding.
Although that was my 1st Pixel.
I've RMA'D 2 Pixels because of Mic not working on phone calls. I'm on 3rd Pixel at the moment, but Rooted with Elemental Kernel lowering Analog Headphone input to -10.5db on each channel to give a quieter noise floor. With V4A changing the tonality.
Eager to see if your device is still overly bright with IEM's?
(I really feel Google dropped the ball in Audio-out with Pixel. Hoping 2017 Google Phone gives a better attempt.)
