Suggestion - to give them a fair shot (which is what I do when reviewing)
Listen to them, and only the BA100 for approx 2-3 days. The problem with initial impressions - especially against a headphone that you know well, and that your ears have adjusted to - is that often your hearing and subsequent impression is coloured by what you are used to.
I'll give you an example (using two popular full sized cans). HD600 is recognised a both reasonably neutral - but very natural sounding - slight mid-bass hump, and some people see it as slightly too laid back. K702 is also relatively flat - but with very neutral (some say lighter than neutral) bass, and a bit of a lift in the upper mids and highs.
Someone who is used to the K702 and hears the HD600 for the first time will say that it is bassy, slow, and dark - with a small sound stage.
Someone who is used to the HD600 and hears the K702 for the first time will say it is bass light, very bright and has an artificially large sound stage.
For a review - whilst this is what they hear initially - neither description is accurate. For the person who gets to know both headphones first, and allows their ears to adjust - and only then starts to AB, often the truth becomes more apparent. We can then see each headphones individual strengths and weaknesses - rather than being very biased by a (perhaps very coloured) headphone that we know intimately.
Just a thought. I know my impressions of the BA100 changed after living with them for 3 days solid. It was very interesting to then hear weaknesses in my SE535 Ltd Ed compared to the BA100. What I ended up with was a better appreciation of both
