All these problems are about phenomenology and the problem of qualia.

No they are not :)
You can say a headphone is muddy. When I asked what that meant you simply say: excessive energy in the mid bass and sent me an EQ ti test it with my own headphones.
If I ask you, what "direct steering" means, you'd tell me to drive a G class and then hop into a 911.
I can explain what warm colours are to me, and show you.
These terms can easily be explained and shown to one another.
Detail, dynamics and speed cannot. They are meaningless, it seems :)

That's the point I'm making in my last comment. Detail, dynamics and speed is a subjective perception, individual perception is phenomenology. It's a relational subject.
It is not meaningless if this is something that is important to this person and if he is looking to have this experience.
The problem is that each individual will perceive details in different places in different songs. So the detail is there, but there are multiple details as much as there are multiple songs, multiple instruments recorded in different ways, and multiple headphones with different frequency responses in the world.

Ooh, I can define dynamics and speed too!
But the Crin and Resolve fans aren't gonna like it :(
