I can definitely agree with you here. For some of us, it takes some time to get over gravitation to the booming bass and I say this as a true bass lover. The bass needs to hold the foundation of the music, but when it takes over, the rest of the details of the music can start to fade away.

If you have to wait and let the bass and treble come to you, it's probably right. I had this experience with the HD800 and Grado SR200. |
