Owners of these headphones or people who've tried both, if you can only keep one which would it be?

Only owned Focal Clear OG and didn't like them. Dynamics were too much in addition to the treble spice, very fatiguing at moderate to high volumes. Also too warm for my tastes and not more detailed/resolving than a 560s, except for the bass (but quantity can't reach 560s EQed level as Focal is prone to clipping)
