To be frank. If you didn't enjoy the hd560s and dt770 then likely your expectations are too high. I don't believe you will get much more out of more expensive headphones.

or… they just didn’t fit his preferences?

those headphones represent one type of frequency response lol. they’re incredibly neutral with a slight tilt towards brightness. i can absolutely see how they could sound “shrill” or “thin” to a newcomer, especially the beyers which are outright sibilant at times

that’s not to say i don’t like them — but i wouldn’t have enjoyed them if they were my first cans. i’m still glad i invested in other headphones

They're both tuned to the Harman target more of less. They're going to sound at least decent to most anyone.

i’m not trying to start an argument here. but have you actually tried them?
