Not a headphone, but Id be the Shure SE215. Just kinda there, unremarkable, nobody really notices me, and only actually good at isolation.

No set criteria. Like most terms in the community, lo-fi, mid-fi, etc. can mean vastly different things to different people.

Sennheiser HD800S. Open to hearing others out, usually a dark person with occasional bursts of positive emotion. However they tend to ruin the mood more than lighten it. Much due to the fact I’m talkative and have been termed extroverted which represents that wow factor with soundstage - people deeply tuned in to it, then the treble peak stuffs their ears.
I suppose it’s strange to say 800S, but I really am that kind of talkative and people try even harder to comprehend me when I deal with my plethora of grammatical issues as I speed up overtime.
God this post sounds like me irl

DT770. Solid, but hyped much above its real qualities and sometimes extra spicy.

Mid and low-fi are kind of ways to describe hifi. If something is low-fi, it sounds like crap and is not of any real worth. Think my-first-cassette-recorder sort of junk.
Mid-fi is more related to affordable yet still very good hi-fi. Generally, anything that is more expensive than what the layperson would buy but cheaper than what a massive audiophile would spend. For headphones, I would say anything from about £75-£300 would be mid-fi. That isn't to say that there aren't good products cheaper than that, they just don't fall under the mid-fi moniker.

It's really just a meme ranking. For example mid-fi or summit-fi isn't a thing. It's just brackets people set by price.

Same answer: Price.
People try to separate headphones which frequently will result into calling lower end headphones worse.
KHP30i and 40 are two of the best bargains. Sennheiser 560s seem to be a great stopping point for some where the performance is good enough forever.
​
Ranbling: No need to step further than, in my case Sony M1ST with Yaxi Pads and Neumann NDH30. If I go further I will never listen to music anymore because I can not decide what is the definitive sound I want to listen too.

oh god...
I've had a rather dark childhood but with really rich schools so the comparisons are drastic.
I went to school with super rich kids in long island. Like imagine a parking lot of convertibles. Some of the kids were clearly kids of CEOs and whatever. Like imagine wearing Rolex in high school. At this time I didn't have time to sleep properly as I've had to rush to work after school and would get home around 12 midnight. Used my last period (calculus) to sleep. And I snored like aMF, so I guess the whole class felt the brunt of my shit.
I think I'm the darkest thing that ever existed, but wasn't too quiet about it, so maybe something like a DT1990 but cheaper so DT990. Very self aware and reflective and had nuanced ideas about dire situations. Friends would say I'm the best at dealing with emergencies. So I like to think my ideas had somewhat of clarity in them that they're not muddy like the M50X.
-I have a very deep voice that surprised the unsuspecting, and when used forcefully could fill the room with a monstrous shout that would frighten any monster. Although tall I was scrawny, so I guess I wish I had muscles. --I think of it as lacking bass
-just like the headphone, might have some redeeming factors, but sibilant to just about everyone mostly because I had too much problems back home so I couldn't care for much.
haha

PRICE.
These people make these claims on price alone ignoring performance alltogether.
This is, quite frankly, foolish and really grinds my gears.
Many headphones labeled "Mid-Fi" trade blows with or outperform more expensive headphones EASILY :)

If you the same person, as the delta airlines earbuds, you must have some interesting personality situation on your hand. If not. Nvm then.

I feels kinda like the T60rp Argon.
Made in Asia, modded in America. Not very popular or known about. Not really the best at anything, but make people around me feels at ease, like everything is alright.

Reply to HD6XX vs HD660s (for roughly the same price)? by thescofflawl
660s are less like the 600 than the 6xx/650 but if you dislike into intimate presentation and lack of sub bass I would recommend a different brand. Sounds like you'd enjoy a hifiman, start with the 400se and see how you go
