    can we dive deeper and figure out which of the five flavors can be loosely attributed to sonic qualities? salty, sweet, sour, bitter, umami

    @BenjaminBore you are very generous with some of yours, I have a table going with some much more aggressive and distasteful analogies, whereas I would drink anything from your list and probably enjoy it once in a while. HD800 is cat piss on my list haha, i guess the analogies are different when it's a headphone that's liked or disliked. vodka and cat piss are both acidic and sharp i suppose!

    @E_Schaaf Was going more for broad character rather than like/dislike. I can think of some very colourful language to describe the HD800 and 1266 however...

    @Riotvan Same. Now I’m wondering if I got ripped off by not getting a flavored version.

    Hows your sense of smell? I hope it isn't covid!

    @Thad E Ginathom my sense of smell is very bad even without covid. Nerve damage from a fall.

    Oh! Well, that's my joke fallen flat on its face!

    Sorry about your lost sense of smell. Mine is not very good either: I don't know, but I blame 20 years of smoking
