It's important to understand how human hearing works. Most people think their ears work like microphones, and overestimate the accuracy of their golden ear discernment.-------------------------

This is why I listen to 'many' reviews. I listen to you , professional reviews, comparisons of someone that has similar product or to product I have heard . I never 'listen' to specs as they make no sound. Lol. But when I start to see consistent reviews and interpretations of a particular piece of kit - well that speaks volumes to me. Specs like frequency response seem to hold meaning for me. But, I certainly couldn't tell you if I would like them or not based solely on it.
Of course I FULLY understand it ever since I was a wee laddy and protected my ears when doing ANYTHING loud like vacuums, saws, drills, yelling wife or whatever. I have and use all kinds of earplugs and ear protection every day.
And I rarely if ever "overestimate" so I am not grasping your comment. My comment was just a statement for consideration, not any criticism.
The point was from my example that you can't trust a 'highly respected reviewer' or magazine - just listen for yourself if you can with known source equipment. It's inevitable nowadays to turn to places like AA when considering a new purchase.
And if it ain't any good for you, just try to sell it off here before it becomes outdated.
