People who write that there are deep basses are speaking a language that I cannot comprehend. This is particularly obvious in the compositions, as everything is constructed around them. Some melodies have the potential to sound fairly engaging on their own when there is no emphasis placed on the bass. It is very evident that each of these experiences is unique, and each person will have their very own points of reference based on their prior history of having different types of headphones. It's possible that the discrepancy is still caused by the ear cushions not fitting tightly enough, in which case this comparison won't be objective enough. I make a reference to the JBL TUNE 600BT, which I purchased for a total of 4,000 dollars two years ago. I purchased them for a total of 6,500, which seems to be a bit steep for them to me.
