This is likely due to Chinese New Year, everyone is on holidays for at least a week, possibly longer. The entire place shuts up shop.

I think the sander offers a different sonic quality due to its method of operation that makes it a fair comparison for preference again just my opinion

I’ll give this all a shot tomorrow hopefully, though I’m getting a gnawing feeling it’s a fit issue since I can feel it touching my ear on the right only.

HIgh End Sony Maybe even thier Professional Series - Look at MDR Z7M2
Specially designed drivers
How else do these headphones produce sound so accurately and powerfully? For one, the dynamic drivers are huge — 70mm to be exact. And new to this second-generation model: strong, aluminum-coated diaphragms that can move fluidly.
Sony also included a supersized neodymium magnet that doubles the circumference of the magnet used in the original MDR-Z27. That means the large, ultralight diaphragms start and stop quickly to reproduce mids and vocals with even greater precision and detail.
Rather than use a traditional grille, Sony opted for a Fibonacci pattern that helps keep air flowing in a specific way that lowers resonance.
It also helps produce smoother highs without harsh peaks.
Large vents on the bottom of both ear cups help accentuate the bass.
To be honest for the price of some of the best headphones I’ve ever heard I would be hard-pressed to choose the venerable HD 600 over them.
and just as a general guidance, these aren’t like talking about Sony XM fives or something this is like they’re very high-end, audiophile grade level headphone line

Who is this for? Tommy Hilfiger isn't exactly tied to gaming or audio enthusiasts. This just reeks of a "slap name on it" cash grab.

I don't get why people find this funny. Like it's a clothing company. They're not seriously in the headphone game. It's just some OEM stuff that they're putting their brand on. They don't give a crap if the specs are listed correctly. This is like going to Disney World and buying a shirt there and it's not the quality you expect for the high price you paid. You're really swinging at low hanging fruit here.

Surely it has to be the voice coil measurement, right? Right..?

Play your music in mono and see whether or not the sound is leaning to one side. If that is the case, I got bad news for you:
Channel imbalance has come to haunt your headphone.
Can be a driver issue, or a simply a pad issue.
I once ordered Dekoni pads for my 660S and one was a lot deeper than the other, so the sound was tilted more towards the shallower ear pads.
To verifiy, whether ot not it is the pads, simply switch them (if possible) between left ant right. And if the sound now leans to the other side, its the pads. If not, its the drivers and you should put in a warranty claim.

Spotify on an old iPhone with a headphone jack. 3.5mm cable to the 3.5mm line in on a Topping NX4 portable DAC/amp (whose DAC is being bypassed in my configuration).

Popped the Senns back on. I hate to admit it might be the headphones purely because of the fit.

For when you want everyone to hear what you're listening to.
It's a feature!

>Drums sounded wrong to me
They really do. I own a pair and aside from that they're very, very good.
I wonder if EQ can fix this.

Do you have any other earphones for comparison, just to make sure your ears aren’t causing the problem? Hopefully it’s the headphone.
