Could be brain burn-in yet I'd let them run in for a a day or two before before critical thoughts. My go to media/movie headphone.

Thanks @m17xr2b . I went into this expecting to put some work into understanding these HPs. It will probably be some weeks before I have anything worthy of the NDH 20 thread, which is why I just threw this out as a profile post.

Definitely play with EQ (higher quality the better). Sit with it and you'll be surprised, I hope. Enjoy.

Thanks @Azteca. I'm an EQ noob. Getting the NDH 20 is my way of jumping into the deep end to teach myself to swim. Even on initial listen, I get the hint that these are special HPs. I do expect to have some fun learning how to get the most of them.

Burning them in in a parallel setup. My only reservation so far is the cable. The straight cable is stiff and has a rough texture, so rubbing against surfaces is audible. What looks to be a proprietary connector may make adding an after-market cable difficult.

The cable on this HP is bothersome. There are a couple of variants of Sennheiser locking 2.5mm TRS connectors at Moon Audio which offer hope of building or buying a better cable. I may just buy one of each and see which if any works best.
