I wonder why I hated the Radiance and Stellia when I tested them some months ago. What people and reviews say seems usually different to what I experienced so I wonder if they were somehow faulty or if my ears had some momentary sensitivity or I had bad seal. They were really bright with weak bass.

Interesting. The Radiance definitely doesn't have weak bass at all, it's one of the best bass headphones I've ever heard. My brother has them and I have the Stellia, we often trade back and forth. It's a really fun headphone to listen to.

The Stellia isn't exactly a slouch either, but it's more in line with the Clear in terms of bass delivery. The Radiance definitely hits much harder by comparison.

Could be an issue with the source/amp or something? Bad cable?

I used my own setup and had no issues with other headphones. I tested a few and it's not impossible I just had hearing fatigue. I wonder what I tested before them if my ears got really sensitive. I test headphones with slightly louder volumes than I would use them with. Need to go test them again some day.
