I recently bought a pair of second hand Taket h2 version 3 headphones ALONG with the dedicated Trafomatic T2 amp. Anyways I plug them in and they sound.... HORRID! Specifically they have very little bass and no subass. Sounds are anemic and have no substance which contrasts with all the reviews on this headphone. Gaming, dubstep, kpop and anything that needs bass sound horrible with no depth. On bassier genres like trap the bass actually distorts. It also sounds absolutely terrible on lower/regular quality YouTube clips. It sounds ok with flac and higher quality YouTube clips (bass is still absent). Although I would not say they sound like $1000 headphones. Now granted my setup is not the best as I don’t even have a dac:

PC —> ifi Ican micro amp—> 3.5mm to RCA adapter—> T2 amp —> h2 headphones

I don’t get it. Aren’t these headphones known for their bass and depth? What am I doing wrong?
