As someone with a clear I really disagree. If you are a basshead there are better options.The bass is fine but the clears are 1.) Very fatiguing and 2.) Can't handle bass EQ without the drivers distorting at a certain point.
I heard from multiple reviews and videos that Clear may be fatiguing if you are treble sensitive. I do not consider myself as such, but yeah, they are more fatiguing than my PC38x
And also being an open-back limits their sub-bass/bass perfomance
Yeah I am treble sensitive so I find them highly fatiguing. Which is a shame because I do think they sound great... For 5 minutes until my ears hurt. EQ helps but I got annoyed fiddling with the settings.
And yeah I really recommend something like EMU Teaks for sub bass. Like you said open backs usually can't extend that low unless you're blasting the volume haha.
