Of course.
Just like with pictures, a realistic presentation is not always the most appealing to everyone. Many people prefer pictures with higher contrast than what looks natural and many people prefer headphones with more bass than the original piece of music has. Many people like to hear things exaggerated, but it differs from person to person what you like most.
Everyone has different ears so to find out what you like, you have to listen to different headphones yourself. Once you know your preferences, reviews become more useful, because if you like more bass in your headphones, you'd rather get Denon headphones (for example). If you prefer elevated bass and treble, the HiFiMan HE-400 would be a better choice. The HD600 is fairly 'neutral' sounding. This means that the balance of the bass, treble and midrange approaches reality closer than other headphones.
What I did to find my preferences was buying second hand headphones and selling them if I didn't like them. To give a fair chance to the headphones I'd listen to them for at least a few weeks. It often happens that you have to get used to the new sound before you can fully appreciate it.
Sorry but bass and high too strong make me headaches
- My previous Fidelio X2 have strong bass with mid recessed and i had a slight migran for a week.
- My previous Kingston HyperX Cloud 2 with fell pads make me bad inside ears for high frequency effects, too pungent sometimes, instead with velvet pads ( less isolation ) was much better but not as good as Sennheiser like fatigue.
both high and bass enphasized together for me = ambulance
