Motherboard recommendations. Stay with DDR4 or go to DDR 5?

The point they made against this headphones made my day ...

"AGAINST
Sound lacks a touch of drama"

))

What about their FOR points?:

Mature and composed
Strong clarity and organisation
Articulate and well-judged bass

The AD1/2xxx are far too empty. There is zero bass, rather than subtle bass, with Audio Technica cans. I had a pair and got rid of them for that reason. The highs are great but the cans really struggle with low/mid frequencies, though there are benefits from that which are a very open sound-stage. However, having owned a pair, I can say with confidence that my Beyer DT1990s have better sound-stage while handling the lows superbly. This is with both connected to the same amp/dac setup.

there is no perfect headphone ... Depends on what you want.
I did pic ad2000x because i love violin, piano.I wanted specifically highs and midrange.
i also have a pair of old m50x that is bassy.Are closed back.

The need of drama by the person that made the review brought a laugh to me
This felt like the reviewer actually didn't find any point against them but they just had to put something there ...

Yes exactly. These ATH-A2000z are definitely strong in the mid to high range which is what I was after for gaming clarity. Bass is acceptable, but not stellar. Personally found the closed back version better, but that's just me. Even tried the expensive timber backed version but they didn't have the 'cha-ching' these titanium backed cans have. Again it's probably to do with my broken old ears.

There is a point in the AWKT review

We’re thankful that Audio-Technica has resisted the urge to super-charge the bass frequencies. While the industry as a whole has followed this excess bass philosophy for a number of years now – thanks to the phenomenal commercial success of the Beats brand – the Kokutan take a subtler, more balanced and ultimately more satisfying approach. The lows are agile and textured, giving a firm foundation for the rest of the frequencies, but they also blend in seamlessly.

I found a review of the A2000Z from my favourite reviewer

LoL that's funny, I did exactly what he said when I bought them. Get the Japanese pads and twist them upwards. Gold.

If you pay 500$ - 600$ on a pair of headphones and you have 3 what do you think you are ?

A hardware addict?

Need to use the alternate earpads for the 1990s, they allow the sound-stage to open wider and trades some of the strong lows for clearer mids/highs.
