I don't really detect that problem with my Double Helix Cables replacement cabled Hifiman
HE-6 planar magnetic headphones they are pretty balanced ( though single ended wired ) sounding & more transparent sounding than any other phones I've had .

My Senn HD800s (also recalled ; but not DHC) are still slightly bright even with the Anax Mod, in comparison , the HD800s may have slightly better sound staging but they are not as transparent sounding.

My HE-6s get about the same amount of things " right" with the sound as my Maggie loudspeakers do with the same " sins of omission " only on a headphone level..

I guess you were talking about dynamic driver designs , but the HE 6s somewhat
re enforce my prefence in panel speakers as opposed to dynamic drivers less crossover influence in my opinion.
