A quick comparison between my headphones after perhaps 3 weeks with them (the Grado I had for some time). I am no headphone expert so rather than going into great detail at this stage I just compare them to each other. All totally subjective and your mileage ... . All EQ'd in Roon.

When I receive the Sennheiser H58X Jubilee and had a little time with it I will try and do a more proper evaluation including showing EQ settings and explaining my findings/reasons. Some of the above may change in the meantime.
