Mass mass majority of negative comments on the DMS video were talking about how he didn't measure time domain difference. It is vital that you do a video explaining exactly why all transitory effects in headphones are proportional to the amplitude at a given frequency. People think headphones have the same acoustic properties as speakers because they both use woofers. This needs to be explained.
Outside of the 'audiophile community' I'd say that a headphone that sounds fun to the general masses would be V-shaped, possibly heavy V-shaped even, bass, smooth mids, sparkly highs, that's what I and all my friends where into in the early days, driving our cars around with large subs in, the Boom-tis boom-tis boom-tis!, in that respect you really could argue that fun sounding headphones/speakers are worse in sound quality! When I first started this journey I loved the smiley EQ and speakers with boomy bass and smooth recessed mids, I remember buying my first 'audiophile' speakers, a set of second-hand floor standing Roger's (British speaker), honestly when I first heard them they sounded sooo harsh, the mids where so upfront and revealing, the bass was tight rather than boomy, it's was such a stark contrast to what I was used to, I hated it initially, but over time I got used to it and ended up loving it, my V-shaped, or at least extreme v-shaped days ended and my journey into audio began. What I consider as fun in terms of the hobby and devices themselves, it's kinda of cliche really, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get”, and that's the big thing for me, the anticipation of hearing them for the first time, how they sound and waiting to see if you get that 'magic moment' with them, there's so many different flavours out there to try!
Easy answer to the question, fun is found at 80-200 Hz, just like how presence is around 2k and air is 10k+. It's just another block on the FR of a headphone.
I just finished listening to Opeth's new album. I love the arrangement of it. I can understand where Andrew is coming from, though. Sometimes progressive music is too much; their counts have always been very chaotic. They're definitely growing as musicians, though. Mikael doing all the production and mixing, while writing and performing everything is a feat in itself. Regarding the symbols, they do sound a little washed out on my system for some reason. I listened with Schiit Gungnir Multi-bit > Mjolnir 3* > Arya Stealth > Roon PEQ +3 75 hz bass shelf, -3 db dip @ 5250 hz
The Audio 64 solo is one of the most fun IEMs because the $1400 price point allows them to use higher quality drivers with better technicalities like resolution, detail retrieval, bass tactility, speed, imaging and sound stage than the other planar IEMs on the market.

To be clear, I still like the compositions, it's just not in my top few of their catalog.
@TheHEADPHONEShow For me*, topping Ghost of Perdition will probably be impossible 😆

You forgot to talk about its ability to scale
