Reply to comment by BrutalFeather in HD6xx sounds different from Laptop 3.5 and E10k despite getting enough power. by BrutalFeather

> the laptop is louder than my E10k on low gain.

If it is louder, you will hear more bass and more treble ( Google Fletcher Munson). A louder bass will mask the midrange.

Another might be a difference in output impedance. This will affect the damping. If the PC has a higher impedance, you get a less controlled bass. However, as the HD6xx is probably 300 Ohm, I wonder if the impact will be that big.

I do hear more bass from the laptop than the E10k so I dont know which one is the actual sound of the headphone. It also experiences the same more bass on my smartphone although with less resolution. Could it be that the E10k are the ones thats bright? Or is the laptop emphasizing the bass.
