After purchasing the Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO, I discovered the Superlux HD 662 EVO on this website and decided to buy them for $38 to see how they would compare. I was pleasantly surprised by the significant difference in quality, considering the Superlux headphones were almost five times cheaper. This experience led me to return the Beyerdynamic headphones and approach overpriced headphone reviews with more skepticism.

Reviews of Beyerdynamic headphones shouldn't tell you they're good without also telling you they have poor audio tuning with a treble peak that makes things sound "sibilant".

You might be the kind of person who puts an EQ in your headphone path, but most people should go for something more neutral instead.

I don't know what in my comment made you assume I use an EQ.

As a first-time Hi-Fi headphone buyer, the reviews on Amazon and Youtube didn't surface the nuances of the different headphone models using quantitative information as DIY-Audio-Heaven does.

That was a generic "you".

Maybe your post needs an edit?
