Is resolution and detail subjective, objective or somewhere in the middle? (www.reddit.com)

Usually when reading reviews th general consensus seems to be more prominent highs lead to better detail retrieval and resolution in a set of headphones, especially iems and more laid back highs are often seen as muddier. Are there any laid back treble/dark headphones with amazing detail retrieval and resolution?

Resolution is "in the middle".

Some of it is objective. For example if a headphone adds its own color or texture than that objectively decreases the resolution.

It is also subjective. Some people like micro detail, some like timbre richness and fidelity. Some people are fine hearing the nuances in the background, some want them in their face. ...

Generally some Sennheiser types are said to have good resolution while being dark [7xx, 650, 660S].
