It would seem to, however, we don't listen to graphs, & everybody's head & =
ear architecture is slightly different. For my ears, the reportedly tipped =
up bass of the Sony MDR V6/7506 is not imagined. I've used these cans for 3=
0 years, mixed thousands of concerts & recorded hundreds of albums utilizin=
g them & the bass is definitely exaggerated, relative to the much more neut=
ral response of the studio monitors in use. This makes the Sony phones very=
 useful for editing, restoration & noise reduction chores, since a lot of l=
ow frequency thumps, plosives, DC offsets, & wind rumbles are not audible o=
n many speakers.
