I bought them on Dankpod's recommendation too, they were my first ever proper full-sized HPs. I absolutely loved them, very detailed sound signature, excellent soundstage and directional imaging. I used to use them for hours and hours to end. But they are too much for me nowadays and I can't listen to them without EQing (pretty cool how our tastes change). They would instantly destroy my eardrums once I put very fast and bright songs on them it's crazy. I don't think being sensitive to trebles make us audiophiles elitists, it's just us having a preference. The term may work better on the peeps that believe in those expensive TOTL DACs, amps and c*bles snake oil stuffs.

If you ever feel the harshness of the trebs people here all raves about, you can stuff a layer or two of TP behind the fabric ear pads as filters and it works pretty well taming them. Surprisingly these cans actually have pretty boosted and punchy fun bass once you unshelve the right end of them! The vocals come across cleanly too despite the filters. They also react well to eq, I tuned mine really aggressively and they don't distort at all.

And lastly congrats on your new entry to the hobby, it's only getting better from here.
