The unnatural strong bass elevation of all the most recent headphones are (hopefully) just a fad and this is not the intention of Hifi or a natural music reproduction - as it was tried to achieve by all Hifi and Highend Audio manufacturers.
I prefer the H6 MK1 as it has the most natural sound from all the recent B&O headphones. The bass is good enough, otherwise if I don't want good sound and just bass I could buy the cheap plastic thingy from beats. ;-)
I would love a neutral and natural sounding headphone from B&O that is as good that it could be used in a studio setup. With the current headphone range this is not possible and for recording you have to go with AKG, Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.
You can use the beoplay app to tailor the sound significantly.

They are over ear not on ear with all the same functionality

I don't mind H6 & H8.. one is wireless, one is wired.. I get that the H7 is noise cancelling, but H9 should have been a MK2... ??

I thought great sound sells headphones. 🙂
The Beoplay app would only be a workaround on android or Apple devices or is the sound setting stored in the headphones?
Sorry, little correction:H6 are over the ear and wiredH7 are over the ear and wireless with BluetoothH8 are on ear, wireless Bluetooth with Noice cancellingH9 are over the ear, wireless with Bluetooth with noice canceling. 🙂I don't mind H6 & H8.. one is wireless, one is wired..

Well we all have a different definition of what great sound is I guess. Mine wouldn't include the sound originally on the H6s that you preferred. I do like my H8s sound. My comment was that I believe that in trying to go more mass market, the default sound from headphones will appeal to a wider group of people if they have stronger bass when testing them or trying them out in store. I'm not saying it's better or worse.I thought great sound sells headphones. The Beoplay app would only be a workaround on android or Apple devices or is the sound setting stored in the headphones?
But H9 has advanced wireless ?Sorry, little correction: H6 are over the ear and wired H7 are over the ear and wireless with Bluetooth H8 are on ear, wireless Bluetooth with Noice cancelling H9 are over the ear, wireless with Bluetooth with noice canceling.
