I think it's like that with most closed cans. How are the mids compared to the SR60? Are they aggressive and forward as well? What genres do you think would be fitting for those cans?
Boomy, yup that's the term. I'd prefer more articulated bass, but I liked the mids of the 448 more than the 438. Depth vs. width? That'd explain it. I was hearing the difference more if I imagined the singer up front and the instruments at the back than I could when I imagined the singer in the middle and the instruments at the sides.
Mids aren't as bright as the SR60 from what I remember. The treble isn't as airy, but like any pair of Sennheisers the focus is more on creating darker, warmer sound.
Genres: jazz and classical first. Acoustic/alternative next. Hip-hop/R&B last. Wouldn't really recommend them for rock since I've listened to a pair of Grados.

Sure, will do.
