Head size and shape influences headphone fit, which in turn...

... influences headphone bass. So, once again, Sennehieser shows that they are on top of the game with the HD630VB. Low-impedance, easy-to-drive, sealed cup, and variable bass. Adjustable bass compensates for discrepancies in fit.

Although you can crank the bass up or down in gratuitous fashion if you want to, that dial on the earcup was not put there for bassheads who simply want to crank up bottom end performance or for the Jack Spratt types who can eat no fat and who want a lean bass setting. That dial allows for well balanced bass when heads are not "average" or "typical" in size/shape - as they so often are NOT. People with heads that prevent a firm earcup seal might want to crank the bass up a bit, while those with heads that allow for a very firm seal will want a neutral or even an attenuated setting.

Not sure if you've read any of the reviews yet, but this one seems like a very interesting headphone design...
