EQ'ing that bass in is effortless. Got a 4.4mm cable for them with a nice braid.
I do gaming with them and it just feels so freaking wide.
I'm a percussion guy. Drums and intricate percussive ellements, in music, sound blissful.
Try listening to Dinossaur - OTR Remix, close your eyes and have fun.
I read a lot about this set, and the sentiment you have is unanimous almost. I was afraid to get a bad cable version, or get unlucky with the QC. But everything came working well and I did get the sweet leather cable.
It feels like it should cost more (hopefully doesn't!!)
