Those bass distortion figures are actually quite good. Maybe not the absolute best ever, but I don't think anyone is going to complain with that.

No doubt it'll change the FR a little bit too, at least that's what I heard.Is the 3rd and 4th order harmonics being below -90db part of why these resolve so well? I haven't really heard of a more detailed headphone, really. I do know the lower treble bump does bring out a little of emphasis on stringed instruments and their characteristics, but I also know that it doesn't need that 10khz bump to give false definition and detail like a bunch of other headphones.Holy cow yeah the mids and especially the treble distortion figures are really low compared to other headphones, now that you mention it.Edit: I find it strange that the low/sub-bass distortion figures are fairly meh though, my subjective impressions are quite the opposite, these have pretty spectacular bass quality to my ears. Marv, is the earpad-measurement coupling/seal optimal when you measured?Kinda funny how both HE560 and PM1 have a little bass control issue around mid-upper bass, with the distortions.
