So maybe soundstage depth and width depending on the headphone can be considered placebo like cables making a difference? Hahaha!
Definitely not placebo. It's a very real thing. And the impact of overt bass is just as much a prominent aspect of what could help or negate towards it. The more of a space you have filled with a bassy aura, the more of it is redundant for actual detailing, since the space there that would ordinarily surround sonic elements or instruments, is instead engulfed by bass. But this is just one aspect. Like I said earlier, there are non frequency attribute based facets that constitute towards a headphones sound stage, such as the general housing of the cans/cups, driver design, driver angle, fit, sizing, padding, all sorts really.
